The Oregon Scientific RMR802 Solar-Powered Thermometer is an ultra-thin and attractive temperature station that displays both indoor and outdoor temperature, in addition to maintaining accurate time via the radio-controlled clock display. The thermometer also uses a solar panel to extend the life of the internal battery.
The thermometer can display temperatures in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit, as well as store the maximum and minimum temperatures for that day. When it get’s cold, the thermometer will light up an LED Ice Alert on the display if the external temperature sensor detects that it has reached freezing temperatures outside.
The clock and calendar on the Oregon Scientific RMR802 is automatically set to the right time and date thanks to receiving a DCF or MSF radio signal from an atomic clock based in the UK or Germany.
The thermometer is powered by 2xAAA batteries, although there is no indication if these batteries are rechargeable or not. The remote temperature sensor designed to go outdoors is powered by a single AA battery.
The main unit measures 75mm x 33mm x 120mm in size, whereas the temperature sensor measures just 96mm x 50mm x 22mm. Prices start at around £28 in the UK. The Oregon Scientific RMR802 thermometer does not appear to be available in the US however.
