Oregon Scientific THN132N Wireless Temperature Sensor

 (26 customer reviews)

I was prepared to write a bad review for this wireless sensor, but did a little additional troubleshooting before clicking to submit the review.

Yes, I replaced the sensor battery, switched channels, reset the unit and moved the receiver closer to it and it still didn't register on the receiver. Then I decided to check the batteries in the receiver. Not dead, but low. The receiver still showed the inside temperature and the atomic clock was working, but a fresh set of batteries for the receiver did the trick.

Thank you R. Whitaker for your review ... it saved me from throwing away a perfectly good sensor and buying another one! Note: If the sensor batteries die, you may need to pop the batteries on the base unit to get it to reset and find the sensor again (replacing the base unit batteries may not be necessary).

I purchased one of these as a second unit to go with a recently purchased weather station set of one Oregon Scientific BAR806HGA with a THN132N sensor. Although the two THN132N sensors are indistiguishable, the one from Amazon could not send humidity information to the BAR806HGA weather station. I contacted Amazon which immediately sent a replacement unit at no cost. This second unit had the identical problem. I tried to get support from Oregon Scientific by e-mail but it took forever and it was obvious from their response that had not read my question. Finally they told me that my unit, which I had purchased in April and which is advertised as a NEW, Top Seller on the Oregon Scientific website, is no longer in production and suggested that I buy a new unit from them. Fat chance. If I have to buy another unit I'll go back to La Crosse Technology. Amazon was great about the returns but I will avoid Oregon Scientific in the future.
