I had submitted a review earlier (as follows).However, I've become very disappointed with the operation of this unit.Specifically, it stops showing the remote temperature FREQUENTLY.Nothing wrong with the remote.I remedy the problem by removing one battery in the main unit, then replace it and wait for it to correct itself. ** end of edit ** Original review follows and still applies.RR
I installed the unit just after the Denver Christmas 2006 blizzard.I used standard batteries in the remote but was still able to read -11 deg F.Later, the unit stopped transmitting (see other person's review).I replaced the remote batteries and it has worked fine since then.I might go with lithium batteries next time.
The real drawback, in my view, is the smooth, curved display cover. It reflects light from all directions and makes it difficult to read unless you move around or move very close.The product would be better with a flat display cover and/or an etched cover (to reduce reflection).

Honeywell TE219ELW Weathertime Wireless Indoor/Outdoor Thermometer with Atomic ClockProduct Description: Monitor temperatures in up to three remote locations at once while also receiving the most accurate timekeeping available with the Honeywell TE219ELW wireless indoor/outdoor thermometer. The system comes with a compact main display unit that measures 3.33 by 6.19 by 1.11 inches (W x H x D), along with a single water-resistant remote temperature sensor (model TS13C) with an effective transmission range of roughly 100 feet. You can install the remote sensor virtually anywhere in or near the house, including in the living room, on the back patio, or in the rear greenhouse. Should you want to know the temperature in all three locations, simply purchase a couple of additional remote sensors.
The TE219ELW displays the temperature (in either C or F) and time on its blue backlit LCD screen. Users will also delight in the unit's wide outdoor temperature range--which varies from -38 to 158 degrees F when powered by lithium batteries to -4 to 158 degrees F on alkaline batteries--and its programmable ice warning alarm, which lets you know when a frost is predicted so you can take precautions.
The built-in clock, meanwhile, receives radio signals from the U.S. Atomic Clock in Fort Collins, Colorado, which adjusts the clock to within one second of official U.S. government time. Whether you're loath to be late for work or you just prefer precision in your timekeeping, the TE219ELW's clock is a perfect fit. It even automatically adjusts for Daylight Savings Time. Other clock features include 12- and 24-hour time formats, a dual-crescendo alarm with a snooze option, and a calendar with month and day readings.
The display unit, which mounts on the wall or sits on the desktop, requires two AA batteries (not included), as does each remote sensor. The system is also backed by a one-year warranty.

If you sleep in a high noise environment, or have trouble hearing, then this alarm is a great solution.I would rate it a 5/5 stars for that purpose.I would, however, give it a 1/5 star rating for its form, function and quality.It does the bare minimum of its intent, but it is styled and built so cheaply that I am in near constant fear of knocking it over and breaking it, especially as the snooze button is at the unsteady top of the thing.It is too unstable for a half-asleep person to turn off.Additionally, it has no automatic reset function (that I have found at any rate).If you want to turn the alarm off, then you must turn the switch to off.If, as most people do, you want it to wake you up at the same time again the next morning, then you must turn it on again.To keep from knocking the blasted thing over while doing this requires both hands. Every other electronic alarm I have ever used has a reset button to perform this important task.
