wireless thermometer for g/house

My greenhouse is about 120ft from the house. It'd be handy to know what the temp is in my g/house from the house.
Does anyone have any recommendations that would work from 120ft away?
Thanks

Have a look through these products on this site where I got my wireless weather station from:
https://www.weather-station-products.co.uk/weather-station-thermometers/room-thermometer-gauge/digital-thermometer-collection/wireless
The WS9160, for instance, says 100m in 'open field' conditions so will probably work at 120ft with the base station in your house, but you may need to position it so as few walls as possible get in the way. My weather station base is on a bedroom windowsill so the signals only need to pass through glass from the GH which is about 60ft away..
You may be able to find the same products cheaper on other sites of course.

Much better than the one's I was looking at on Ama**n, as are the prices, but you've pointed me in the right direction. The WS9160 would most certainly do the job - the g/house is in line-of-sight, so should do the trick, I'll see if I can find a keener price
Thanks

Hi Pete,
I have one of these over by our beehives so we can keep an eye on the min/max and current temps.

The bees are about 300m from the house ... but there is a good line of sight between the outdoor temperature sensor and the indoor console.
Got it from Ama**n ... and have been using it for 3 years.
You can add another sensor ... and I might do this for our new greenhouse

Yea! it works!!
Currently showing 32C, but the txmitter is in the sun.
What a cracking day here in Essex. 2 ton of topsoil arriving shortly that needs barrowing down the garden, so that'll keep me outta mischief.
Thanks for all you help and suggestions.
Now I can go spend an extra £25 on plants!
