Cons
Outside sensor/transmitter stops transmitting after 2 to 3 days. Min/max reset is a bit cumbersome, you have to reset the unit. Remote sensor is flaky and unreliable.

Competitiveness
It’s a doddle to set up just follow the destructions which also clearly state that the external sensor is not waterproof
The cheaper competitor i had tried previously didnt have anything like the range it claimed nor did the replacements they sent
