Glad I Got It
It just arrived yesterday; I thought I would share my initial impressions, while they remain fresh in my mind. I'll try to remember to update this later if anything changes. My bottom line -- I recommend it, and would purchase it again. It does just what I want, does it well, and has a fairly simple screen with nice big digits -- nice and readable. I am happy with my choice. Consistency -- Very good. I had the base and remote units side-by-side on my desk for awhile to see whether they at least showed the same temperature, and they did -- sometimes identical, and never off by more than 0.2 degrees. That could well be round-off error and/or minor air current differences. (Reviews for some other brands/models are not that good.) Accuracy -- I don't have another thermometer to compare against. I can say that the outdoor reading stays within a degree or three of what my computer reports the airport (several miles away) was reporting. The...

Good unit - spotty QC
We've been using the Honeywell branded version of this unit at the office for the last year, so I ordered the Meade version (to save some money) and an extra remote sensor for home. The main unit I received would not pick up signals from the remotes. The replacement sent from Amaazon is working fine, but the QC issue kept me from giving 5 stars. Our house has a 3-zone heating/cooling system, so I mounted the main unit next to the thermostat on the main level, one remote upstairs in the master, and the add'l remote in the basement. By setting the main unit to "cycle" I get temp/humidity readings in all three levels every 10 seconds. Concerns about distance and the range of the remotes did not materialize. They work fine. Both of my installations have had the remotes inside, so can't speak to ability of remotes to handle outside conditions. The Honeywill and Meade units (both TM005X) seem to be identical except for logo, so seems like you pay for the Honeywell name but...

Great thermo-Hygrometer at great price,
Works well except for slight differences in temperature and humidity between base and remote unit. Remote sender is being used for reporting conditions in my greenhouse. It serves that purpose very well. It is a real bargain also.

Degrees Of Separation Between Comfort And A Power Outage
19.05.11 @ 1:39 pm | No Comments

They’re called Cool Customer and Cool Keeper but utility programs that reach into your home and turn down your central air sound more like Big Brother. Still, the practice can benefit both you and your neighbors by keeping the power on during times of peak usage. In exchange for a little discomfort, the utilities promise the “cycle events” won’t happen often, won’t last long, and won’t raise your home’s temperature more than a few degrees. Here’s how it works. A utility offers homeowners a free indoor programmable thermostat or outdoor digital cycling unit (DCU) that “talks to” the utility via radio signals. When the weather heats up, the utility cycles the air conditioner’s compressor on and off to decrease demand on the electrical grid. (Typically, the fan continues to circulate air.) Temperatures inside the home may rise one to three degrees, which doesn’t sound like a lot, but when spread across thousands of homes, it can greatly reduce strain on the system. Plus you save money and the lights stay on. The programs work slightly differently depending on your utility and climate. Here are a few examples. California’s Pacific Gas and Electric’s SmartAC program offers homeowners a DCU or... Source
