Those things don't really bother me so I've just ordered one to try for that price.0 -

Bluetooth connection to outdoor devices can be iffy, and of course you could go away with your phone, but the sensor seems to have onboard storage (60-odd days). This allows the app to 'catch up when you are back in Bluetooth range.
Quite neat, if it works.

Thanks.1 -
havn’t got it up & running yet, but have told my dad people are waiting with baited breath, he feels little poorly & I may have fractured my ankle, I definitely will update soon as we get it going. Thanks for your interest1

Yes, I bought one and it's really good. It was very easy to set up. I put it in a drinks fridge so I can keep an eye on the temperatures.
In fact, I liked it so much, I've recently gone and bought the set of 3. I put all 4 side by side and they all read the same temperature and humidity within 0.1 degree or 1% and they agree with other thermometers/hygrometers I have so I'm sure they're pretty accurate.2 -
Outdoor meter 1 is in the garden. I'll rename them once I've decided on their final locations.

Am I correct that they use Bluetooth to your phone?
And that if you e.g. go out for a day/week with your phone, when you get back the sensor downloads all 'missed' readings to the app?0
