Ambient Weather WS-3000-X5 Thermo-Hygrometer Wireless Monitor w/ 5 Remote Sensors. This IS the unit with 5 remote sensors.Highly recommended. Worked perfectly, right out of the box. After programming, I tested the sending units on a shelf together and they were all within 1/10 of each other. The screen is easy to view and use. Programming is fairly simple after reading the directions. (Write a number on each sensor as you program it to avoid confusion) Each sensor also has a display! That's great! I love that different time lengths can be programmed to view on the screen.The range is great. My greenhouse is about 100 feet from the house, with no problem going through 2 sets of walls. I even have one buried in a compost pile ( in a ziplock) and it transmits just fine.The memory function is useful and fairly straight forward.The price is very reasonable for 5 sensors and a nice display. I've used it for about 2 months with no replaced batteries and no problems. This is a great unit.

I have used the Ambient Weather WS-3000-X5 for a little over a month now and haven't experienced any of the negative issues I've read about in some of the comments submitted.The instructions were clear and the set up was simple, although I haven't used the pc connection extensively but the installation was straight forward and easy.The display was a little smaller than expected but no problems reading the info, and it doesn't take up much space on my desk. The sensors and receiver all appear well made both in form and function. When placing any sensor outside you should take care in positioning them so that the don't receive direct sunlight and are protected from rainfall or other water sources.Initially I set the units up in my study arranging them with at least a 5' distance from the others and set up to display the temperature and humidity, then left the room and waited.Around an hour later I returned and the temperature readings had settled out and were the same with the exception of two being 1/10th of a degree higher than the others and in agreement with the settings on my air conditioner thermostat. The humidity readings were displaying similar readings with each other, no more than 1/10th of a percent difference. After monitoring them for two days I relocated one to the attic, the garage, my home gym, and my gun safe, keeping the 5th in my study temporarily, where they've been for the past month. All have been operating well within my expectations. With the history graphing it is easy to visualize changes that have occurred as you would expect the differences in temperature and humidity to be in the respective locations throughout the day and night. I have not had any sensors drop connection with the receiver at this point. I am unsure what the battery life will be in the sensors but not really worried as the batteries are easy to replace.This morning I moved sensor (ch1) from my study to an outside shaded area of the backyard, The receiver indicated the correct outside temp within 15 minutes as you can see from the picture. Within an hour the humidity reading raised from 42% to 54%. While the attic (ch3) shows 57% humidity, the attic generally indicates 20% less humidity than weather sites report, probably because my ac and furnace units are located in the attic. I expect (ch1) humidity reading to continue to rise as it updates.Overall I am very satisfied with the devices and price point, I definitely recommend the product.

While it was expensive it was the only multichannel data logging thermometer I could find.

This review is for an Ambient Weather WS-3000-X5 unit received at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review. Now that we have that bit of business out of the way, on with the review!The WS-3000 is a multi-function, multi-sensor Thermo-Hygrometer, Dew Point, Heat Index Wireless Monitor with Graphing, Alarming, and Radio Controlled Clock that comes with 5 wireless remote sensor units. Also included are: AC adapter for base unit, micro-USB cable, screws for mounting remote units, nylon zip ties, mini-CD with PC software, operation manual.Base station:Powered by an included AC adapter, the base station displays temperature and humidity for up to 5 remote sensors. Optionally, it can also display dewpoint and/or heat index, alternating with temperature. The display’s backlight can be set to turn off between specified hours, if you wish. You can set audible alarms for high/low temperature and/or humidity. Each remote sensor can have its own set of alarm limits.There is also a color graph that can display temperature, humidity, dew point or heat index for up to 8 sensors for the last 12, 24, 48 or 72 hours. Each sensor is graphed in a different color.There are buttons on the front for Graph, screen brightness control, and Menu.On the side are slots for a micro-SD card (not included) and micro-USB (for connecting to a computer). If a micro-SD card is installed, data for the sensors is logged to CSV files at configurable intervals.Remote sensors:The remote sensors have a small LCD display (no backlight) that shows temperature, humidity and channel number. Each remote sensor unit takes 2 AA batteries (not included) and can be located up to 300 feet from the base station (in unobstructed situations), or, typically, up to 100 feet from the base station. Screws are provided for mounting the sensors to a solid surface, and nylon zip ties are included for suspending them (preferably not in direct sunlight). The transmitter channel number and temperature units (C or F) are set via DIP switches in the battery compartment. Mine came already set for channels 1 – 5 and Fahrenheit units.Setup:After connecting the AC adapter to the base station and putting batteries in the remote sensors, the base station display should begin showing readings for each of the sensors. I had to take the batteries out of 2 of the remote units momentarily before they would establish communications with the base station, but they have fine since.All of the setup can be accomplished via the buttons on the base unit, but it is MUCH easier to accomplish by connecting the base unit to a Windows computer and running the included software. I would really like to be able to change the channel descriptions to something more meaningful than "CH 1", "CH2", etc. With 5 remote sensors, it's hard to remember where each of them are located.Conclusion:I can see many situations where it would be useful to monitor temp and humidity remotely for 5 locations, and this unit is perfect for those situations.
