AcuRite Iris® Weather Station with Mini Wireless Display for Temperature, Humidity, Wind Speed, Wind Direction, Historic Rainfall Totals, and Hyperlocal Forecast with Built-in Barometer (01122M)

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.

I like all features except you can't change date to UK / Europe style, also no option for 24hr clock - but everything else is great

The best weather station for durability. Many thanks

It does not come with a plug to fit British plugs

perfect, does what it says it does.

Good item

liked everything about this product. easy to install very clear to read

It’s very misleading to say it has a full colour display! It’s a colour overlay. It’s a b&w lcd screen. It would be like colouring in the screen of a black and white tv and then saying it’s a colour tv!

PERFECT

Can read from across the room in clear backlit numerals. Lights entire room at night on low backlite setting on 110 vac wall wart power supply. Interesting banner information updates viewers on maximums and minimums, etc. Was promptly given credit by Amazon and decided an additional monitor at $80 wasn't worth it, but unit is so nice I'm sorry I didn't get the second monitor, now. Mount may have to be rigid. In high winds above 40 mph rain gauge may be activated by either wind or movement in the wind. Will try more guy cords to solve this problem....meanwhile I'll keep my old weather station for that job. Just bought SECOND UNIT for my deck. First on channel A, second on channel C. Mounted it more ridgedly and the rain gauge works great. Wind speed twirler not as accurate/fairly useless on the older/first unit, possibly due to wear from high winds. But the display from the set with the chattering anemometer works fine on the same channel as the new set so the two displays are nice so both displays work fine on the same channel. . Will attempt a ball bearing mod of the damaged sensor. Will buy again as thhe display, prediction algorithym, and banner reporting is the best I've seen. Good chance I'll buy a third station for my workshop.

The weather station is fantastic, being able to monitor weather on my iphone and ipad is great. Construction is solid and installation very straight forward. There are some issues, although minor and manageable - I live in the southern hemisphere and the station is set up for use in America i.e. 1. all the electrical plugs were for the USA, so I needed to buy adapters for Australia 2. the date formats can not be changed from USA format and 3. the wind direction on the weather station is set up for due south were as in the southern hemisphere everything is based on due north, so wind direction is out by 180 degrees. None of these issues can be changed via the settings on the weather station. Overall, very happy with the weather station and would recommend it to others.

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.

No one should be under any illusions that the physical installation of the Acurite 5 in 1 can be a challenge. The device must be securely and safely mounted high enough to enable the wind meter to be accurate and the other sensors to be unaffected by the house itself. I already owned two six foot lengths of 1" steel pipe and mounting bracket I decided to use that. It took some finagling to adapt the 1" pipe to the provided adapter'. I had purchased the remote battery pack since I knew that once aloft I did not want to go through the hassle of lowering the masts every time the battery wore out. Since I live in NH, I followed the advice and order the lithium batteries so that would not freeze. I wisely decided to get the unit operating to be sure I wouldn't have to pull the unit down to solve some problem. I was amazed how quickly the unit appeared to connect with the display - five minutes for everything to appear. I think it is important to have the 5 in 1 working before bring the display up. Next, I brought the remote Access unit online and again was amazed how quickly the unit acquired the roof top device. Since we had not had rain in six weeks, I didn't realize I was going to have problem with the rain gauge. However, I went ahead and extend the pipes and wrap the provided tie-wraps, cleaned and went inside to download the myacurite.com app and was again amazed to see the device come up! Finally we got some rain and discovered that while the rain gauge was communicated with the display device it was not communicated through Access with myacurite.com. I went through the debug process suggested with the Access device but no luck. After waiting a week in case it started working, I contacted service through the website through email form. I received an instant acknowledge of my submission and received a human response within an hour or so. After a couple of emails I discovered that somehow a "phantom device" had intruded into myacurite.com and when I selected the correct device, the rain gauge started being picked up within a few minutes! I don't often write reviews but felt that when a company makes a complicated set of products that works out of the box and when I have a problem I receive a service response within an, I am impressed and wanted potential buyers to know. I would be happy to answer any questions.
