If you just need temperature I would recommend the Oregon MTR102 - no cables

And horribly inaccurate.

Personally, I've found that the quoted accuracy of +/- 1°C is about
right. Close enough for enthusiastic amateurs like myself (though I
don't use one for the monthly records I post here).

Personally I've found that any two of these units can disagree by 2 degrees
so I concur with you about the high level of inaccuracy
