No I haven't used them and their server is down. Depends on what you want to do with them. If you want to monitor some workplace computers they're probably ok. For home I wouldn't touch anything that is wireless, and you have to decide how often you can be bothered to swap batteries. Check specs, if it doesn't tell you humidity accuracy properly it's a guesstimator only (which might still beat your motherboard?!??). Consider hacking up an arduino solution. For temperature that is totally trivial, using DS18B20 sesnors in TO92 case. For humidity much code exists for various sensors too, however most of thm are neither terribly accurate nor calibrated. If you don't care that's easy, if you do it's expensive. Excellent sensors are the SHT21 and similar from Sensirion, easy to use, but you pay for quality.
