Maybe my Ebay wired thermometer was too cheap at $8.
Umm, yeah, cheap + ebay = cheap junk..
For silly things like thermometers, why subject yourself to the whims of ebay junksters?
You can easily find lots of better quality digital thermometers at your local retail stores for the same price or a few dollars more..
I have some Accurite, some older Radio Shack ones and perhaps a few other brands (all hard wired) laying around between house, RV and a few other projects and have never had one issue with them working or not working.. Have one that does have a touchy switch which likes to revert to C readings instead of the F readings if you touch it..
The one wireless unit I have which is a all in one LaCross weather station with windspeed, direction, temp, humidity is the least reliable.. Disconnects and reconnects randomly, batteries in the outdoor unit tend to fail during the winter and takes a lot of batteries.. Wished I would have popped for the good old Heathkit wired weather station many yrs ago.. They were stupidily priced back then but I guarantee they would be far more reliable than the cheap wireless junk on the market..
I am sure you could find lots of wired Accurites for $12 US which will be much more reliable than a $8 CAN Ebay special.
