Product review (4 stars): It is finally working!!
A basic requirement for a product to meet expectations is that it works. When I tried the set up according to the La Crosse Alerts website, it did not work.

I tried the set up Saturday, and they are only open on weekdays. La Crosse was closed for four days due to the Christmas Holiday. So it was Wednesday before I could try to get help. It took two days before La Crosse Support returned my messages. I was very unhappy by then, and I was packaging the sensor to send it back to Amazon.

But La Crosse did call back around 4 PM the second day. The associate was helpful and was able to get the monitor to work. When it is working it is as good as I anticipated. The associate said the delay in response was due to the Christmas volume.

To summarize, the product did not work at first and it took too long to get help. But when La Crosse Support responded, they were knowledgeable and got the monitor fixed.

I gave four stars because the product is very good when working and La Crosse technical help was also good. But it took too long for La Cross to get back to me. Since the Christmas volume might be the cause of the slow reponse, I still gave them a good overall rating.
