The 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.

User reviews:

I am using this unit to monitor the outside temperature. I like it so well that I bought a second unit so I could see the outside temperature at too different locations. I mounted the remote unit outside and was able to see the remote unit from the other side of the house. I put two AA lithium batteries in the outside unit so it will continue to work in the frigid winter temperatures I am expecting (it worked). I do get some dropouts of the sensor from time to time. Simply pushing the down-arrow to have the base unit scan then finds it again.

The atomic clock feature worked without problem. Having a reliable time source is rather nice. Setting the timezone is a little tricky (the only part that the atomic clock can’t handle by itself) but only needs to be done once (maybe after each battery change?). With day of the week showing hold down the up-arrow button; every couple of seconds a new segment of the map icon will highlight.

When the base unit batteries get weak it can cause it to start dropping the remote units so consider replacing those before deciding remote unit is defective.
