Freezing wake-up call

Comment:
The device actually works quite well, once you learn to shut off the HI/LO temperature alarm.
WHAT IS ANNOYING is that you cannot shut off the alarm indicating freezing temp warning. A nice idea, but not at 2am or 4am. It continues to beep until you get up and reset it. It is even worse when the temperature hovers between 37.2 and 37.4 degrees, since as soon as it returns to 37.4 it alarms again - a total of 4 times before 6am the other night. This was even more of a problem during Autumn, when the temps would dip inconsistently. If I had the money to replace it, I would have torn out the batteries and thrown it away! I now have it placed on my nightstand for convenience.

This device does the job, but it has a very annoying alarm function when it tries to warn of freezing conditions. There seems to be no way to turn it off. bleh!!!

This little piece of equipment is accurate and attractive. No complaints here. Would have been nice to have humidity indicator, but for the price, I'm satisfied.

Comment:
I already had a BAR112HGA model and I wanted more remote sensor units, but at the price of $30 each, I looked for a cheaper way. There is a LOT of information about what model base is compatible with what model senors and some of it contradicts itself. So I took an educated guess on this model working with my BAR112HGA. I bought two of RMR682A.
Well yes and no. Yes, my BAR112HGA reads the senors that come with RMR682A, but the RMR682A will not read the sensor from the BAR112HGA. Oh well, 2 out of 3 ain't bad.
One thing to note, it took about 3 days for the RMR682A to read both sensors (I have them on channels 2 and 3) and even longer for BAR112HGA (I have its sensor on channel 1) to read them, but now it does. I wish RMR682A would read channel 1, but oh well.
I really like how RMR682A shows both indoor and one of the senors display at once.
