Since this is a gift to my brother I will be able to give a better report later in the spring. However to do own a similar types of remote rain gauges and this is good offering for the money. I’ve had several and none came with separate remote temperature unit. Also the way it is constructed, good design.

This is the second wireless rain gauge by Honeywell that we have purchased. We liked the first one so much that we bought a second for another location.

It is a piece of Chinese junk. I am surprised this product bears the Honeywell name. The outside temperature reading is 10 degrees higher than the real temperature. The rain readings are inaccurate. Only the clock and the indoor temperatures work well. The rain gauge readings quit working and are now dashes and I can not reset them. Very expensive for just a clock and indoor gauge. I don’t want to spend more money returning it because I will probably get another piece of junk.

On the plus side, the bubble makes it easy to level. And I’ve had no trouble with the distance from the main unit to the remote.
On the minus side, it is grossly inaccurate…as much as 25%. Usually records on the low side, but occasionally also records on the high side. Also, too many screws to get to the batteries in the main unit.
Oregon Scientific is much more accurate, but after a while (one year for one, three years for another) it stops working and no troubleshooting works. La Crosse suffered the same fate.

I mounted the remote rain sensor less than 25 feet from the main uniit and the remote temperature sensor less than 50 feet away in a visible straight-line run. (The temperature sensor was visible through a window, main unit resting on window sill.) Brand new alkaline batteries. Unit failed to maintain communication to both sensors. It works when everything is together on the bench; when you set it up it fails miserably. I’m returning it and will try the Oregon Scientific model instead.
