1-wire versus wireless temp/hum sensors

Post by Jfn »

I have ordered from them before (An Oregon Scientific wireless weightscale). This week will I will start contacting a few shops about a possible discount when ordering a lot of sensors at once.

I checked the specs, the RTGR328N has an even greater range (70 meters vs 30 meters for the THGR228N). Did they deliver them at the same price?

Thanks for the info.

Jfn,

I can get the THGR-228 for arround 25 euro in the UK.
Let me know how many you need, and I will contact the shop and see if I can get them even cheaper.

@Jfn

Yes, they deliver them for the same price.

My first reaction when the order has arrived was... damn they deliverd the wrong sensors, but after an email converstion all things came clear. So no problem. The only thing i didn't like was that they know they can't deliver the right sensor (the THGR228N) but didn't make a notice to me of that fact.

PS. the spec's of the RTGR328N are oke, but i see some pro's and con's compared against the THGR228N.

<b>Pro's:</b>
- Bigger ranger
- Build in clock
- Auto time sync. (DCF)

<b>Con's:</b>
- Larger design
- No wall mount slider (the THGR228N has an separate wall mount thing)
- The temperature and hygro are sharing the same place on the lcd!!!, so the time is _always_ on screen :-S, and the temp and hygro are switching (with an avg. interval of 4 a 5 seconds) !
- Auto time sync. (DCF), when your out of range (or behind heavy concrete) you won't be able to 'set' or 'sync' the clock.

But further it's a nice sensor with ok specs :)

My 2 cents
