I have one of these with 3 sensors in my cabinet. Is anyone using them that has an long term feedback?

I don’t know, I have never seen or thought about a unite like that, but it’s got me thinking.:dunno: I’m looking forward to the other Brothers comments. Good luck to you.
Its actually working very well. I've had the small base unit with 3 sensor in the humi and each sensor reads both temp and humidity. All in under $50 and I dont have to open anything or have wires hanging out. The sensors have a range of up to 300' as well. I'm using the La Crosse Technology WS-9023U base unit with 3 wireless TX21U sensors.
remote hygros are awesome. no need to open humi to check humidity. Also great for cabinets because you can check humidity on bottom, middle, and top. But none that i have found are recalibratable, or very accurate. But thats ok, just calibrate periodically with a Boveda, and mark the difference on the home unit.
I actually did a salt test on three of these and they were smack on. I threw all of my old regular digital in the trash and will stick to these. The great part about being able to have 3 seperate remotes work off the the on base is that you keep track of that many seperate humis in one place or seperate zones if you have a big one like I do.

I got mine on amazon
They come with a mount and 2 screws and also some double sided tape. My cabinet drawers are wood so i screwed the mount to the back of the drawer but if you were using it in a coolidor or a something similar you can use the tape. They come with a rain cap that covers them, but I took them off since they wont be in the rain. I've been very happy with them. The instructions dont say they cant be laid down? Guess you would have to check that out for yourself.
Sorry for the double. They are maybe 5" tall x 1" thick x 2" wide.
Another alternative is the Honeywell TM005-X.
I use this one with 2 wireless remote units inside the humi. Accuracy has been pretty spot on. Stuck em both in a tupperware container with a 69% Boveda... 3 hours later one was pegged at 69%, the other was bouncing between 68 & 69%. They are not user calibratable, so that is definitely a drawback, but they did seem pretty spot on. Reminds me I need to check them again.

I'll note that it only comes with one remote sending unit. I ended up finding another model of "weather station" that comes with an idenitcal sending unit for about $16.

The unit you are asking about is in the 2 large humi lockers at the leaf. One unit is in my locker installed on the back wall one in MThurlys locker on the other main cab. Installed and purchased by me. Been using them for about 4 months now with now prob. Now any member who wishes to see the humidity and temp in either set of lockers just has to look up at the display on the fireplace at the leaf.

Nice. I hope yours work as well as mine are.
Do you still have those rain caps or covers on the sensors?
