la crosse wireless temperature sensor
We have used the La Crosse Wireless Temperature Sensor for years. We have one outside to see the outside temperatures and one in our peacocks house to see the temperature in his pen. We can see when it gets too cold and then we turn on a heater to keep our peacock safe.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great product - for a while!
Although these devices are specifically intended for OUTDOOR temperature sensing, they are subject to corrosion and failure after a few years of service, even when installed in a relatively sheltered place. I have several LaCrosse weather stations that use the TX6U sensor for 15 years or so. For longest operational life, they must be protected as much as possible from rain, snow, ice, humidity, sunlight, and wind. That's a tough objective for an outdoor sensor!! LaCrosse should have done a better job of sealing openings around the battery door, coat sealing the circuit board against moisture and humidity, and sealing the opening around the sensor device itself. I have purchased at least eight TX6U replacements over the years, so I guess I am glad they are still available. I just wish they could stand up to typical outdoor operating conditions!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great Product
It was so easy to set up and works great. One outside sensor actually controls three inside units; two atomic clocks plus the accompanying inside/outside temperature included with the sensor. A nice surprise and excellent service!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

great replacement sensor unit for my atomic clock!
I got this to replace the unit for my Sky Scan Atomic clock. After following the provided instructions, it quickly connected with my clock and is working perfectly. I was pleased to find a bonus display unit that shows in and outdoor temperature that also connected and works great! So far there are no problems and I am quite happy with it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

NOT WEATHER PROOF
This sensor is great at what it does,, but to me there is a huge problem. One would think an OUTSIDE temp sensor would have to be weather proof, right? This one is not! I guess it can handle fog, and even a light mist, but not rain. That means one must try to find a place under a roof and in the shade to mount it. I didn't know that and ruined my first one by mounting it where it got rained on.( I guess that fact is in the instruction book, but not bold and I missed it) Now I have the replacement inside an open zip lock freezer bag still mounted on the fence. That's a poor solution, but in my opinion I should not have to protect an outside weather sensor from the weather.... I know my next weather station won't be this brand for this reason.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

If your clock is in working order and outside temp does display a new sensor will work.
Sensor works great, you must follow directions (included) in getting sensor and clock to communicate. Make sure the sensor model number is the proper one for your clock.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great Company,. familiar name!
Not only is the thermometer an exact replacement for my old one, La Crosse also included a new temperature display which i wasnt expecting! Win Win! La Cross has always been my first choice for weather instruments.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Exact replacement
This is an exact replacement for the sensor that came with my clock years ago. An unexpected bonus with the one I received was a stand-alone indoor-outdoor temperature display. Maybe the shipping department made a mistake. Maybe clearing out old inventory. Either way, it was what I needed.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Wireless Temp Sensor 433Mhz
I have a 6 year old SkyScan apparently now called Lacrosse atomic clock which also has indoor and outdoor temperature read outs. The outdoor temp readout stopped working. The Clock in the newer units are less desirable than we prefer so took a chance on ordering this outdoor temperature sensor. It solved the issue allowing us hopefully several more years out of our clock. The company we purchased from is tops, not only did they send the sensor, but we also received a separate smaller indoor/outdoor temperature station with the sensor. This was a pleasant surprise. I would highly recommend this e-bay seller. What I discovered is Lithium batteries work in the transmitter, but if I put Lithium in the clock or small receiver you sent me for free, nothing functions properly. In addition, your initial reply was to assure fresh batteries dated 6 years out or more and I did but still ran into issues and this is what I discovered so feel others need to know as well to save a ton of frustration. Turned out in a fresh pack of 48 alkaline energizer batteries, the charge level is not consistent from new battery to new battery. When each battery was tested the DC voltage ranges from 1.58 to as low as 1.34. (IF) you mix two batteries with different voltage (even though new from the same pack) the darn receivers will not function properly. I realize you said use batteries with a far out expiration date, but not sure you would be aware even doing so as I did, the charge rate of these name brand batteries differ in the pack somewhat substantially. And the units are super sensitive to that voltage difference if you happen to just pop two new batteries into a device. They work with 2 batteries at 1.34 volts, and work longer range with 2 batteries at 1.58 dc volts, but if you mix a 1.34 with a 1.58 nothing but trouble. So for those having issues, test the batteries, DO NOT just trust the date code.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

May have a relatively short life span
This replaces my previous TX6U which stopped working after about 4 years. The previous one replaced a different La Crosse model sensor (which they evidently don't make anymore) - that sensor lasted more than 4 years. So I'm hoping that my previous TX6U was a fluke and this one lasts longer. It works fine and seems to be accurate - it's just the life expectancy that I'm not very happy with. Recommended because I couldn't find another sensor that would work with my base unit.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
