Iris (5-in-1) Indoor/Outdoor Wireless Weather Station for Indoor and Outdoor Temperature and Humidity, Wind Speed and Direction, and Rainfall with Digital Display (01512M)

Setup was easy, it looks good and seems to work fine. The inside console is a big step up from what we are used to. The size of the numbers and color coding of the data make it attractive, and the important data are easy to read. The little ‘weather ticker’ at the bottom of the screen is not easy to read unless you are close and get the light just right, but most of its information is historical so it is not critical to have at a glance. My only quibble is with the way it reports changes in barometric pressure. The barometer itself works fine, but the little arrow to indicate direction of change does not. Barometric pressure changes are reflected in the forecast pictograph, but I would prefer to see the arrow pointing up or down to help me plan for the day. All in all, at this point we are pleased and hope it lasts.

Wow this station is nice! Very easy to set up and works perfect, love the weather present and history ticker on the bottom nice touch but the best part is I got it for a buck 9 black Friday. If you looking for a station that you can trust this is the one, well designed and a quality build, paired in seconds not like that Sainlogic JUNK that doesn't work. I thought my last station was nice but AcuRite blows that one away, AcuRite is now my Go To for weather related items.

We live in an area that experiences a microclimate different than the more populous surroundings, so having an at-home weather station is something we need to help us figure out what the weather will be like in our locale. I researched various stations online, and multiple sources said the AcuRite Iris was a great budget system that gives you plenty of accurate information for not a lot of money. Connecting the display to the monitor outdoors was easy. We haven't had any connectivity issues at all so far. Setup is a snap if you follow the instructions. For high accuracy on wind and weather conditions, mounting the instruments on a pole greater than 10' and up to 30' high is recommended. The fact that the display gives you both % humidity and dew point is great (dew point is a much better indicator of how humid it actually feels). So far, it has been extremely accurate and we're very happy with this purchase. We're able to get a better handle on what to expect in terms of weather and forecasting thanks to this station.

The AcuRite units are decent, low cost weather stations, where the main problem is with the aspirator fan and solar panel that powers the fan. Either the solar panel, or the fan, often fail, and then the unit overheats in the sun and gives wildly high temperature readings. It is March here in Maryland, and the base unit is telling me that the highest temperature recorded so far is 92 degrees (the actual high was about 76). Obviously, the fan wasn't working. My first unit never worked right, the fan would not start up no matter how much sun hit the solar panel. If you opened the unit up, aimed it directly at the sun and gave the fan a push, it would spin slowly. I sent the first unit back for replacement at Amazon, and the second unit worked perfectly for a week. Then the fan stopped working on that unit. I was getting ready to send it back when I saw that Amazon had dropped the price by $40. We called, and got the $40 refund, which I used to buy the 06003RMA1 PRO+ Upgrade with dual solar panels that are tilted so that one gets the morning sun, and the other gets afternoon sun. I installed the dual panel upgrade, and now the 5-in-1 sensor is working great. I can't say how long the upgraded unit will work, but I will post an update if the dual panel aspirator fan unit fails. Otherwise, the unit if nice. Construction is cheap, but the unit is very low cost compared with units like those from Davis. I really like the ability to adjust readings for temp, humidity, and rainfall so that if the readings are not correct, you can tweak them. As long as the unit keeps working, I am happy with it. I really didn't want to spend 350 to 600 dollars on a weather station. I highly recommend that if you are considering this unit, get the one with the two solar panels rather than the versions with one. This will give you much more accurate outdoor temperature readings when sun is hitting the sensor.

Had a different one. This one out shines it hands down. Works great, set up is easy.

This is soooo much different than the “other” product that I returned because it was impossible to hook up. This weather station communicates with the base unit using a radio frequency. There is nothing to turn on or sync. Plug in the base unit, put batteries in the outdoor unit and just make a few adjustments to the base unit screen and that’s it. Takes just minutes and it’s perfect.

I’m head over heels about my new Acurite weather station (model 06016)! Several years ago, I bought an earlier model (same sensor but old display), and it became an integral part to enjoying our yard. But after neglecting to clean it of bugs and debris last year, I decided to brush it off outside then ‘deep clean’ it over my kitchen sink. Big mistake. Because as hard as I tried not to, some water did get up its underside, which as the manufacturer warned, could destroy its sensors. Sure enough, water must have gotten up it because after minutes upright to drip dry, the solar panel fogged up and it stopped transmitting to the monitor. Losing it was like loosing internet access! I grieved my loss, had only myself to blame, then decided to move on. Fortunately, the new sensor has the same exterior design, and fit right onto my universal pole, and like my prior, without the bracket. I did save the bigger set screw my prior had to secure the new one. BTW, the new station’s bag of hardware is hidden inside the battery compartment (Amazon directed me to Acurite’s website, which says it would be). It turned out, I didn’t need any of it for my installation. The monitor is big, intuitive, and easy to set up. Its data is more informative, including notches for the two previous wind directions, and its ‘weather select’ feature (I love that I can set it to display wind chill)! Photos show old and new.

Great product! It's sell contained (one device with all the sensor equipment on it). My past weather station had a bizarre tree of arms that had each sensor separate with wires connection them. The best feature is the solar panel/fan in the 5 in 1 sensor. I need to mount mine where the sun shines on it so I can get a wind reading. The solar powered fan draws air through the unit, so the temperature reading is right on the actual outside temperature. Other units (like my last one) would register 20 degrees hotter due to sun load. Highly recommend this product!

Tuve un pequeno problema, el tiempo no querida para de cambiarse, no habia ayuda en los instruciones pero fui al pagina de AcuRite y me ayudaron. Ya todo esta bien pero si gaste un tiempo para resolvar el problema.

I've had a few of these over the years but this one seems so far to be a winner! Easy to set up and install, good range from the outdoor unit to the indoor base, doesn't drop out signal. The data displayed is clear, precise and not complicated. Fun and interesting to use. Highly recommend.

Great product, as described, fast delivery

Good
