Comments about Venstar Venstar Wireless Remote Sensor Receiver - ACC0414REC:

OK, my bad, I put the comments about this receiver under the remote sender. But there's something important to add about this item. You'll need to leave it hanging outside (take care not to crush the wires) when you put the T1800 back together so you can verify proper operation. Afterwards you can tuck it away. Try to have a pretty clear line of sight to the sender to ensure receiving a good signal.

Mount the sender out of direct sunlight.

Oh, and the most important thing of all? The White wire goes to the RS2 terminal.

Bottom Line:

Comments about Venstar Venstar Wireless Remote Sensor Receiver - ACC0414REC:

This unit, or it's wireless temperature sensor, won't measure temperatures below 32 degrees F. So not useful for monitoring temperatures in (for example) vacation homes/cabins. Either this unit, or it's remote sensor, failed within 1 week of service.
Really can't recommend either.
