No experience with the LaCrosse system.
I use Oregon Scientific stuff. (Probably from the same Chinese factories as Accu-rite and LaCrosse.)
Yep. It's cheap. Really cheap.
But I can check the safes and gun cabinet from pretty much anywhere.
As I type this, my phone says the two safes are sitting at 73 F and 34% humidity (#1), and 72 F and 36% humidity (#2) [the difference is just in calibration tolerance(s)], with the "project cabinet" at 68 F and 43% humidity (no golden rod in that one) and wood [stocks and embellishments] and parts storage cabinet showing 64 F and 52% humidity (basement, up against the foundation, no golden rod), while the 'ambient' conditions are 68 F and 46% humidity.
So...
My storage area is much more humid than I would like, and notably more humid than average in this area, due to certain incidental conditions. It's also more humid than the rest of the house. But that issue will be remedied ... eventually.
Bottom line: They work in/through the safes and (all metal) cabinets.
Why do you need that info at the tip of your fingers at a moments notice ? Not being snarky , really want to know the reasoning .
Yep. I agree. The only reason I know is because the base station is capable.
And that's just it...
I went with what I did because the base station could handle that many sensors. I could check, without opening each safe/cabinet, what the conditions were, from my work bench. The ability for bluetooth and wifi connectivity were almost superfluous. Prior to replying to this post, the last time that I checked the app for such on my phone was about
three years ago.
