(More customer reviews)I liked the freeze alert & humidity sensor. The user manual says it is accurate to +/- 5%. The outdoor sensor cannot be placed within 6ft of a TV/Computer monitor/metal, etc. It also needs to be protected (somewhat) from the elements. Inexpensive 20.

They say it's not the heat, but the humidity. Well fret not, because the versatile Timex TX6130 wireless electronic thermometer displays both at the same time. The compact unit--which sits unobtrusively on a desktop, table, or shelf--sports a trio of LCDwindows with bold, conspicuous readouts. The top window displays the indoor temperature, the middle window displays your choice of the indoor relative humidity or time, and the bottom window shows the outdoor temperature. As a result, you can instantly gauge whether to wear shorts or pants on a seemingly mild summer day, make sure the humidity level is correct in the greenhouse, or crank the air conditioner as the afternoon progresses. The temperature readings range from 32 to 122 degrees F (0 to 50 degrees C) for the indoor temperature to 14 to 122 degrees F (-10 to 50 degrees C) for the outdoor temperature. The relative humidity, meanwhile, is measured on a scale of 20 to 90 percent, with the hygrometer performing best between 40 and 70 percent.
The TX6130 is remarkably easy to read--even from across the room--thanks to the pronounced digits, which measure 0.62 inches tall. Even better, the system comes with a wireless remote sensor/transmitter that measures the outdoor temperature from up to 100 feet away. The extended range of the wireless transmitter lets you place the main station virtually anywhere without losing the remote signal. Both the main station and the transmitter come with integral fold-out table stands for shelf or desk placement, along with built-in keyhole slots for wall mounting. Note, however, that the remote sensor should not be exposed to direct sunlight and must be protected from rain, snow, and wind.
The TX6130 also features a minimum/maximum memory function that records the high and low temperatures and humidity levels of the day. The values are available at the push of a button, with a second button clearing and resetting the memory on command. And gardeners will love the unit's Freeze Alert function, which sounds an audible five-second beep every minute and flashes a "Freeze" icon once the temperature falls into the freezing zone of 37.4 to 30.2 degrees F (3 to -1 degrees C). The alert gives you plenty of time to move sensitive plants indoors or protect the roots of larger plants outdoors. Users can also mute the beep or turn the alert off completely.
The TX6130's built-in clock is no slouch, either, with settings for 12-hour (with AM and PM) and 24-hour modes along with an alarm and a five-minute snooze button. Add in a snazzy white housing, an iPod-like control panel, and a red LED on the transmitter and you have an attractive, highly functional thermometer that's ideal for kitchens, greenhouses, saunas, and a host of other locations. Power requirements include three AAA batteries for the main unit and three more AAA batteries for the transmitter (not included), with alkaline batteries recommended in most cases.
The TX6130's main station measures 2.06 by 6.94 by 0.94 inches (W x H x D) without the stand, while the remote sensor checks in at 3.06 inches in diameter and 1.06 inches deep. The entire bundle is backed by a one-year factory warranty.
