I’m looking for a home weather station with outdoor/indoor thermometer. But I’d like to have the ability to have a couple different zones in the house to read temps. Our thermostat is in a bad spot for accurately measuring the stoves “real” temps. I see a bunch on amazon. Just curious what you guys like!! Thanks
 
The best are Davis instruments but very pricey.i have the accurite 5 in 1 and have had for numerous years with no issues.

We have been using this one for a few years and it has been working great. We have not even had to change the batteries in any of the remote sensors yet.

I have had the Davis Vantage Pro2 for about 11 yrs now. It has been a solid instrument and can add in remote stations.
 
Anyone have a home weather station that has pretty accurate temp and especially humidity readings. I'm looking for one with multiple sensors so I can have one outside and also one in my crawl space so I can watch the humidity in there and alert me if it's going up above the setting on the dehumidifier. I encapsulated the crawl last year and completely sealed it and placed a dehumidifier in there. Just would like a way of knowing if it isn't working without having to crawl under the house to see the digital screen on the dehumidifier.
 
Our Davis Vantage Pro2 system has a remote station in the greenhouse for monitoring temp and soil moisture. It works well. but may be overkill for what you want. I like the clear readout on Mongo's Ambient Weather unit and it looks like it would satisfy your needs.
