AcuRite Iris 5-in-1 Weather Sensor with Rain Gauge, 06004M, Wind Speed, Wind Direction, Temperature and Humidity , White

It was easy to set the ABC switches to pair up with the indoor unit. Works great! Looks better than the old one that had yellowed in the sun. The solar panels are making the batteries last much longer than the last one. Calibrate your rain gauge!

Works very well. Eventually one of the features will fail at some point. This is my 3rd over 10 years or more. Rugged enough and will stand up to the Florida sun and bad weather. All features are right on the money with accuracy.

These are good little weather stations. The price is right and they are fairly accurate. I consider these a disposable part. I have two weather station about 150 miles apart. I consistently have to replace them about every 18 months as they’ll have one of the sensors go out. Usually it’s the temperature sensor. They will start to read -40° letting you know it’s time to replace the unit. I’m giving this 4 stars because of their short lifespan. If they would last 2 years I’d give them the full 5 starts.

These units are amazing. They work really well even in the harshest elements. Inside units don’t measure barometric pressure as accurate as the should

I bought my first Acurite 5 in 1 seven or eight years ago. The temperature sensor finally gave out. I could have ordered a new temperature sensor and simply replaced that part of my weather sensor, but shipping cost for the one ounce sensor exceeded the cost of the temperature sensor itself. An entire new sensor unit was only twice the cost of the single part I needed, so I considered the 7+ years of faithful service in sometimes brutal conditions and decided that other parts might be close to the end of their expected life cycle as well and decided to simply replace the whole unit. It was reasonably priced, and compatible with my older display unit so it was a good bargain. Only took me a few minutes to bring down the old sensor off my 15 foot iron pole, and install the new one. It began transmitting immediately to my display unit. I look forward to another 5 to 8 years of data from this unit. I am very pleased with how well it holds up when one considers it is exposed to the elements 24/7/365. I love my Acurite 5-in-1. The only feature I wish it had that it does not, is a wind "gust" measurement. Aside from that, I call my Acurite close to perfect!

This is part of a good system that also has a lightning detector. The rain gauge is handy and accurate if you are concerned about the lawn and garden. I always know the temperature. In the sun, it sometimes reads a bit higher as you'd expect.Wind speed and direction accuracy depends on location. I have some trees that cut velocity but it still gives me a good idea of what is going on.Updates are frequent too. Also gives some records and long term information on highs and lows.

good product,

It started my system working again.
