Budget temp sensors (data storing)

These don't work worth a ****. I have one and it is at least 10 degrees off and no way to calibrate. I bought two small analog thermometers for home refrigerators and hung one in each compartment.

here's what I use
Govee Hygrometer Thermometer, Wireless Thermometer, Mini Bluetooth

X3 on the above AcuRite dual sensor and display. Our's has been in service for about 5 years now with nothing except battery replacements for service.

Sorry maybe budget was the wrong choice of words. I bought a fancy setup. Think i spent close to 300 bucks. Half my sensors are broken and the fella who sells the product wants me to pay another 80 bucks to update my system. Told the guy ok, will have to update my posts on the RV forum.

Problem is this site makes it really hard finding old threads. To be honest this forum is just as bad as the **** sensors im complaining about. I get the feeling a really old dude is in charge here and wont make changes. Only come here because i have not found a better site...yet.

If you want something to that will log the temperature, then sensor push is the way to go. They work very well, provide the data in a very easy to use format and last a long time.
Amazon: Sensor Push

X2 on the Accurite. Been using it for several years works flawlessly.

They are not "budget", but I've had years of success, both refrigerator & freezer with Sensor Push. Read from phone over Bluetooth & keeps a log. High & low alarms.

I tried several different types of remote sensors and displays.
All became inop all too soon. Went back to the little hanging thermometers and they have lasted and worked well.
