Where does the outside temparature data come from??

I have a device that reports temp on the outside with a probe and when i bought this thermostat I did not care about that feature but i kept checking just to see how accurate it was and it is always within 2 degrees from my device which is pretty good considering it is getting it from the internet. I really like this thermostat which is why i updated the threads on this purchase but rarely do on my other purchases. I am really glad i did not get the nest because of what my friend told me about his and the fights he had with his wife because he has to tell her not to change the setting cause it will learn what you do!

I believe it said you need to buy something else for that feature, kind of deceptive. Also, mine did not work with my heat pump so I sent it back.

a reply from a Honeywell representative: "Our thermostat's gather the outdoor air temperature from Accuweather.com, which does appear to have a slight difference in temperature from Weather.com The thermostat updates the outdoor temperature every hour, so that is why there is a difference of a few degrees As far as the indoor temperature, our thermostats do read temperature a bit differently than typical thermometers. Our thermostats take both surface and ambient air temperature, and calculate an average between the two readings. Because of this, the temperature reading on our thermostats may be up to 3 degrees off from other sensing devices." Honeywell needs to do something with the outside temperature feed. I don't believe it updates every hour since it got stuck at 50 degrees yesterday while the actual outside temperature was well over 70 degrees for several hours already. At minimum I think the outside temperature update should occur every 30 minutes.

Because your thermostat is connected via Wi-Fi it pulls the temperature through the Internet currently in your area from the National Weather Service

If you have a smart phone, it appears to duplicate those temperatures exactly. Not sure where that data comes from. There is no sensor to place outside though.

Don't remember..doesn't matter anyway. I have a tempurpedic at Home and use this on the road in my apartment...its AWESOME!!!!

I have no idea, because as you see in the pic, the outside sensor is include if this is the model you are interested in. I love my weatherstation...

Yes the outside temp, then inside...the rest have to chage manually until update from Colorado..( But DST and 12/24 are manual inputs)

I don't remember, but I'm sure it's listed at the bottom of the page with all of the other statistical information or at least that's where it was when I ordered my two units in 2012. Both of mine are still working fine and are used daily.

Hi Tony, the packet label states +/- 2°F between 50°F to 86°F. For me the relative accuracy between comparative readings is sufficient. I hope this helps. Cheers, Ken

It's a sheet metal on the outside n In side but the inside is line with foam like items.. That keep the temp with in..

I don't know. The only thing that I could do was to get the temp. set from C to F. Sorry.

It takes into consideration the weather outside (as well as your schedule and the heating/cooling performance of your house) to determine the optimal settings. That's part of the "DataRythm" technology that is part of the thermostat decision making process.

It measures the surface temp. You should use a probe thermometer to get internal temp.

Joel, What it will do is determine temperature from one area to another. for example I was checking dry wall temp and when I got to an outlet it indicated a significant difference in temp from the drywall to outlet. I was able to determine I had a significant amount of outside air coming through the outlet. It won't determine air movement but it worked very well as I described in locating cold spots that I could then investigate.

About 400F. I say "about" because there seems to be a few marks above where the numbers are but that is essentially the range.

Artur, I am sorry but don't remember all of the data that I read on this system. I can however, tell you that the information is on one of the data sheets avail from the manufacturer.

It's on the back at the bottom . Page 6 of the Weather Link instructions show how th install the data logger.

they list it in Celsius as [-20 - +60*C] operating temp and [-30 - +70*C] storage tempper manual pg 33

Sorry, don't know, it's 5 below zero out and I'm not going outside to measure. Should say in the description. Call the company.

Don't know, never seen it, and not noted in manual. But I'm assuming a mis-match in temp set and actual temp. If it doesn't go away, it means trouble... :)
