ThermoPro Digital Hygrometer Indoor Outdoor Thermometer

These compact little indoor / outdoor thermometer / Hygrometers are great. You get constant readouts of both indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity at a glance. I had been a fan of LaCrosse units, but NO MORE, these are cheaper, better and more dependable. Bye Bye LaCrosse

It is an amazing item, i was replacing my old one that i had, this item is so much better, the graphics, the design, the light when you want to turn it on. Amazing. I live in the second floor but i install the outside part in the first floor, it works perfectly. size is big enough, degrees are correct as per the WeatherBug app in my cellphone. Very pleased.

My recent purchase was for two ThermoPro TP60 wireless indoor/outdoor thermometer + hygrometer (humidity monitor) units, to add to the three TP60 units I bought a few months ago. Our house is multilevel and this arrangement lets us see the inside / outside weather in multiple areas around the house. Plus, in the colder months it’s super helpful to keep tabs on the humidity level in various rooms for health reasons.

The ThermoPro set replaces a similar set of units by AccuRite, which started malfunctioning after years of service. (Hint: the weather app on my phone was reporting 100% humidity and it was raining outside, yet at least one of my AccuRite units was topping out the humidity at 70%.) The AccuRite unit featured a larger display on the inside unit than the ThermoPro TP60, but the ThermoPro displays are uniformly darker and easier to read from across the room.

We are very happy with these unit pairs thus far, although performance over time is a key (and currently unknown) variable. Which brings me to my first pro tip to (hopefully) push the product’s longevity out further.

Pro Tip #1: Each indoor unit comes with a button to change the wireless radio channel to tune to its mate. However, This button also enables you to do what I did: Use only one outdoor sensor unit (recall I have five) and tune all of the indoor units to it. Because outdoor weather is much, much harsher than indoors, I suspect the indoor units will outlast the outdoor ones. But if/when the single outdoor unit starts to fail, I can trot out one of my unused outdoor units, put batteries in it for the first time, and retune all the indoor units to it. This arrangement saves money on batteries and, again hopefully, extend the longevity of the whole system.

Pro Tip #2: While you can place your indoor unit(s) anywhere in your living space as long as it’s out of the sun and not too close to a heat source, there is generally only one optimal place to put your outdoor unit.

Placement of the outdoor sensor unit can be a challenge because it has to be somewhere that A) is always in shade during the day; B) has PLENTY of ventilation around it; yet C) is not so close to the building to skew the outside temperature reading when it’s cold out, b/c buildings always radiate some heat. The manufacturer generally recommends a low branch under a shady tree, which is where I put ours. But even a few minutes of direct sunlight a day can make your readings wildly off for that period. And if your spot is shady but too protected from ventilation, it can be like leaving the thermometer in a hot car — your readings can be inflated.

I DO have two requests of ThermoPro, however.

1. I would like to have been able to purchase the indoor and outdoor units separately, but was not able to figure out how to do so. The price of this set is quite reasonable, but less plastic and electronics in the environment is always a good thing.

2. Please look into more environmentally friendly alternatives to the plastics you use in your products. And until you are able to replace the plastics altogether, please identify your plastic components with recycling numbers on the insides of the parts, so your consumers can dispose of these components responsibly. YES plastic recycling is currently a total sham perpetrated by large oil companies, but maybe our society can somehow start to do better with it than dumping it all in landfills and our oceans.

Don’t forget to recycle your old electronics!

this product had 7% one-star ratings and that is usually a red flag for me. The manual is ridiculous. The buttons are very hard to read. I could not tell if the sensor and base station were synchronized or not. Inside and out had slightly different readings when both together. The mounting solution is poor and no screws are provided. The display has no backlight and is difficult to read. The batteries look cheap. It needs to be re-synchronized every time the batteries are replaced. This is the old model being phased out and on sale.

We love this product. Worked right away, less complicated than it seemed at first. Once the little red light on the outside transmitter blinked, and the transmit icon blinked on the unit in the photo, it was up and running. It’s very nice knowing the actual temperature and humidity outside without ever going there.

Have been using this from last 2 months.

Readings are accurate and never fails.
Its a basic function product so cant say much about this, its does its job perfectly.
