I bought an indoor/outdoor weather station. The brand is Accurite.
It is a nifty setup that has outdoor remote sensors for temperature,
humidity, wind speed, wind direction, gives indoor temperature,
barometric pressure and a lot more. The problems, though, is the
temperature readings. They are 4 degrees low. IMO, that makes me
suspect of everything else it reads and is really about useless when
it comes to a freeze warning.
I'm probably going to return it, but I'm wondering if anyone had good
experience with another brand in the less than $150 range?

Most alcohol or mercury thermometers are calibrated at 72° and are marked
with an itty-bitty scratch on the column at that location. Once you make
sure your manual thermometer is set correctly, you can compare it with the
new device with confidence.

If, as a result of your comparison, your new device is still inaccurate,
call the company that made it. I'm sure they would rather make it right than
have their name mentioned here.
