Recommendations for wireless indoor/outdoor thermometer to monitor ER temp

[trflgrl]

I don't winterize the way some more northerly folks do because we cruise and stay on the boat over the cold months, so please: no campaigning for a different plan. I have another thread for that purpose!

Current temp gauge is quite primitive, and Googling just boggles my poor little pea brain. What's your favorite model that's mid-range on price and complexity? I've heard mention of some that will record temps over time and believe that feature will be handy.

The water rarely freezes, our daytime temps rarely stay in the 30s or lower for lengthy periods, and I'm close enough to the marina to do physical checks regularly to head off any problems related to prolonged low temps if the unit shows an instance or two below the 40 that my Boatsafe should be maintaining in the ER.

Not planning to connect it to the interwebz to check from home or anything, just looking for something better than I have.

I bought a $10 Honeywell from Wallyworld... Put sensor in bottom of the bilge and it easily reads from the dock so I don't have to undo the canvas if I just want to check the temps. Keeps track of the minimums and maximum. Easy push a button on top to reset if you want.

if you have wifi check out Acu-link which is how i monitor Engine room, forward and aft bilge areas and you cant set alarms to notify you.

I used something from Radio Shack. Had two sensors. 1 in the engine room and 1 in the cabin. Recorded high/low temps. No magical sending through the web.

Model numbers, anyone?

Sorry no. I got mine after hearing someone on here recommend it. Just went to Radio Shack and bought what was on the shelf. The model number from something that old wouldn't be current now I'm sure.

Actually the 1 I picked would do 2 sensors and the base station. I needed that at the time. I had 2 boats in the water that winter. Sensor in each engine room and the base station in the 270DA cabin. Boats were back to back in the slips so range was not an issue.
