I have an Oregon Scientific wireless thermometer/hygrometer. It basically
quit working back in october, and what passes for tech support at the
company told me to take the batteries out for 24 hours ("hard reset"). I
did this and it has worked for however many months it is from October to
now, but has quit again (no communication with the remote unit).

Have other people had trouble with these products? Oregon Scientific has
several models but I think that they are all pretty much identical at
bottom, just a different selection of bells and whistles. If you have had
trouble, have you figured out a resolution? the damned thing cost like
$60, and it ****es me off that it doesn't even last two years without
problems. I'm trying the "hard reset" trick again.

I had the same problem. Tried the reset button. Tried new batteries.
Tried the 24 hour reset. Tried the bounce it off the refrigerator reset.
Three of them. All useless except for the "base" unit.

I went back to the cheapies that have the long wire on it as a remote
sensor. Not nearly as trick or convenient, but a whole lot cheaper.
