maybe it's a different model then; even MaxyAids said the one I thought you
had (I thought was the same) as needing sighted assistance for setup.

exactly, time and  alarm are very easy to set with square mode button.
Hourly announcement of time and temp and alarm on/off are toggle buttons.
Volume and switch for announcing in Fahrenheit or Celsius on the back.

are you talking about setting the time, and setting it to speak the temp
every hour?  those kinds of things?

I was able to set mine up without sighted assistance.

this is the same one as the one I found on Amazon for $20.  Robert's right,
it has a clock, and it has some alarm features like announcing the time and
temp every hour, but you need sight to set all that up.

I just bought one from www.futureaids.com for $13.99 with free shipping.
Very easy to set up without vision and has a 10-foot probe which makes it
easy to find a good place for it.  It has a built in stand but comes with
screws to mount it on the wall which is probably what I will do.
 
HTH,

With the insanely cold weather we've been experiencing lately I've been
encouraged to find a talking thermometer that I can keep inside my home that
has a sensor I can put outside to check exactly what the weather is like in
my neighborhood rather than my zip code. Instead of just doing a Google
search or checking with the various companies who sell accessible products I
thought some on the list might be able to offer me suggestions of units
they've had success with or know about personally. I'd appreciate any help
you can give me. Thanks! 
Hoping One Day to Defrost,
Scott
