Durable Large-Display Simple Outdoor Thermometer/Hygrometer

Product Suggestion:

Product Name: "EasyRead XL - Simple Outdoor Thermometer"

Product Description: A straightforward wireless outdoor thermometer and hygrometer designed for maximum readability and ease of use. It includes a sturdy, weather-resistant outdoor sensor that sends temperature and humidity data to an indoor display with an extra-large, high-contrast screen. The system focuses on providing clear, at-a-glance readings without any unnecessary complexity or app integration.

Key Features:

1. Extra-Large, High-Contrast Display: The main indoor unit features a 7-inch diagonal screen with oversized digits for easy reading. Options include e-ink technology for superior clarity and viewing angles or a simple, bold LCD.
2. Minimalist Interface: Displays only outdoor temperature and humidity. Very few buttons, perhaps just for °C/°F toggle and sensor resync.
3. Reliable Wireless Outdoor Sensor: A durable, weather-resistant (e.g., IPX4 rated) sensor for accurate outdoor readings with a strong, reliable wireless transmission range (e.g., 100m / 330ft).
4. Long Battery Life: Optimized for extended battery performance in both the outdoor sensor and indoor display unit.
5. Simple Setup: Easy, out-of-the-box pairing between the sensor and display unit.
6. Durable Build Quality: Built to last, inspired by the user's positive experience with their 15-year-old device.
