Hi all.
I bought two of the acu-rite units from USA a few months ago. One for me & one for my neighbor. Only one temp sensor works on mine from new & my neighbor's works great & very happy with it. ( of cause it does)

Have you tried for warranty replacement @jvp ?

I've also ordered one for a mate. Better test them both before he gets his :)

Mine turned up in the mail box today and is working well, takes awhile for the fridge unit to get down to the fridge temp but all good. Seems it scans it every 3 mins.

Exactly same as we found. Took a little while, but now is matching the fridge setting exact. Should work more than adequately in the caravan. Must remember to take it out and take the batteries out! :)

The price of them has now gone up to $24.95 with free postage.
Mine says it's 433mhz must be a point something there as what would happen if a couple of us park near each other?

Mine arrived and works well in the home fridge. The pairing takes care of there being more than one in the same area. Will use some sort of code to seperate. Would be interesting if you turn them all off and then try to pair them.

If you pair them when they are right next to each other, should work fine.

Just completed a 24hr test run of it on the van fridge, mainly just to have a decent temp check on fridge and after 5hrs (1300 - 1800) with 34c outside the freezer was down to -2 in about 3 hrs while the fridge took longer and was only down to 12c in 5hrs on setting 6, but the inside was bloody hot when I started but by 0600 (fridge on setting 3 overnight) freezer was at -6 and fridge was sitting at 2.4c and stayed there all day so it proved my fridge mods, fan and panelling work a treat and these remote temp units are very handy. Found the range to be about 10mts or so with walls and stuff in the way.

Ours probably arrived on the same truck but we will be away so have arranged to have a look at it on the 8th and if it is as ordered we will pick up on 11th. This will give them a chance to fit anderson plugs and a couple of other things we want.
