Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Honeywell TM005X Wireless Indoor/Outdoor Thermo-Hygrometer
Customer Review: Great Monitoring System
Summary: 4 Stars
The Honeywell TM005X Wireless Thermo-Hygrometer is a great monitoring tool for home and work. With its easy on the eyes display it is an ideal way to monitor temperature and humidity. This particuliar unit is packed with one remote sensor. One may piggyback up to 3 additional sensors. The monitor can be mounted or operate free standing.
Both monitor and sensor operate off of 2 AA batteries. The monitor is silver and black and measures 4.33" x 4.86". It blends well in most decorum. The 2" x 4" sensors are white with a display screen measuring .5" x 1".
Purchased primarily for indoor use these devices have worked well. As with all monitoring devices I calibrate these quarterly for accuracy. For the price paid I am somewhat surprised with the on the money readings. The system has more then paid for itself. Definitely a great low cost tool that works.
Customer Review: It's Bigger.
Summary: 5 Stars
The pictures of this and the smaller models are so close that you need to get out a tape measure .. it's really a nice sized unit, and a bargain.
I've left it along side another unit for weeks now, and all I can say is this is a great thermo-hygrometer. I don't think other users gave it enough time, or maybe theirs were defective. I'm always within 1 degree or so inside and outside, and the humidity within 5%. Can it get any better for this price?
Real value, nice looking. I just wish the display was a bit more contrasty -- mine is a little difficult to see if it's not under a table lamp, which is where it will stay. :)
Oh, and since the transmitter goes outside, why the heck did they give it a keyhole mount? I'm guessing mine will blow down this winter.
But, I give it 9.9 out of 10 for sure.
Customer Review: Humidity is inaccurate
Summary: 1 Stars
The item comes comes with a main unit and a remote sensor. The main unit(displays inside Temp/RH) should be placed inside and the remote sensor(displays outside Temp/RH) be placed outside or inside. Distance between both of them should not be more than 100 feet(30 metres) and no obstacles between them.
I feel both show temperature correctly but relative humidity(RH) incorrect to a great extent. While the weather.com says RH to be around 70%, remote sensor when placed outside shows it to be around 25%. Of course, its common sense, outside RH will never be that low. Even the main unit which says 40%-70% RH is good, never reaches that level. It displays around 30% RH most of the time, I tested in many different conditions where the RH is definitely supposed to be high. I have been using this unit since 4 months.
Customer Review: Looks great initially
Summary: 5 Stars
The initial operation looks excellent. I got two of these for the office and home so had 4 units to test out. All of them read the same after they acclimated so the factory calibration is consistent. I didn't have a humidity reference but they did match my home thermostat for temperature. The real test is to see how they operate over the long term.
For some of the negative reviews, this unit is not made by Honeywell but by Hideki and sold under the Honeywell brand. Hideki is not a no name company, but a large multinational company that has been around 20 years. They're just relatively new to the US.
For the hygrometer taking a while to adjust after a reset, that is expected. All electronic hygrometers take a couple hours to stabilize after being reset or moved into a new location.
Customer Review: Exactly what I expected.
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm satisfied with this purchase. The main unit and remote unit each have a hole on the back for hanging on a wall. The main unit also has a stand integrated into the back so you can sit it on a table or bookshelf. Both units can be set to display Fahrenheit or Celsius. Very easy to set up--I only glanced at the instructions when the main unit seemed to be looking for remote sensors for a long time (it will search for 2 minutes). I was a little concerned about the accuracy when I read some of the other reviews, but decided to purchase anyway. I uploaded a photo showing the differences in temperature in relation to my programmable thermostat. They all agreed within a couple of degrees, and the humidity measurement was the same for both the main and remote units.
