### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice weather station but do a manual setup if readings are inaccurate
*by S***X on August 13, 2025*

This is a simple but vibrant color display weather station that works well and gives temperature, humidity, lightning readings and a rain gauge. If they are not calibrated correctly when received here is how to get "as close as possible" accuracy. I received my kit and had it up and running within 30 minutes however the temp/humidity/lightning detector in the kit was bad giving indications of interference and false lightning detections of up to 400+ strikes per day. I followed the troubleshooting guide in the manual and finally reached out to Accurite and they replaced the sensor for free under warranty. The new sensor works as it should. I also purchased a La Crosse weather station that provides temp, humidity for indoor and outdoor readings as well as wind speed. Using my local weather app I verified the La Crosse system was accurate on temp +-2° and +-5 for humidity. I then setup the new Accurite sensor to within the weather app and La Crosse system readings. Accurite allows manual adjustment for temp and humidity on the display. This was the right move because both systems are now within 3° of the temp readings and 5 points of humidity readings of each other and the weather app. I recommend ordering the Accurite outdoor sensor protection housing to protect the temp/humidity/lightning detector sensor and gain the most accurate temp readings. I like the dimmable display and keep mine on lowest setting. Time will tell how durable the two systems are but I am happy with both systems and love the fact that Accurite allows user modifications to gain desired readings.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy peasy to install - Colorful, but not a color, display - I like
*by C***A on March 5, 2020*

This unit is attractive and easy to install. It will come in 3 pieces - the base unit, a rain sensor and a temperature/humidity/lightning/pressure sensor. You will need a total of 8 AA batteries (no batteries are included) - 4 for base unit backup (which plugs into the wall for its primary power) and 2 each for the rain and temperature combo sensor.First I'd like to mention the base unit is a very attractive, colorful, unit. Is it a color display? In a word - NO. It's a LCD display (black/clear) which is in front of a very colorful background. This unit is backlit and you can select auto dim, bright, medium or low brightness levels. Auto dim simply uses bright during the day and dim at night automatically. Overall a very attractive and well executed display. As a consultant by profession I'm impressed. Nice.To install you first need to select the channel on all the devices by setting a switch inside the battery compartment. Your choices are A, B or C. Do this BEFORE installing any batteries or plugging the base unit into an outlet. ALL 3 OF THE DEVICES MUST BE SET TO THE SAME SETTING. Once the channel has been set install batteries into all the units. As a matter of course I'd recommend the base unit first and then the other 2 in any order (it probably doesn't really matter). The battery orientation is well marked but pay attention. Once batteries have been installed you can then plug in the supplied A/C adaptor for the base unit. As I stated before the batteries in the base unit are for backup - why you ask? Well because the base unit will hold recorded values and if you didn't have batteries it would lose all history if A/C power was ever lost. RULE #1: When changing batteries in the base unit leave it plugged into the wall or else you'll lose all your recorded history. The base unit is the only unit that operates using A/C power. RULE #2: Your remote sensors (rainfall & combo temp) use batteries which should last a year or 2 - so when you place these they will be outside and you need to make sure you put them in a place which doesn't make changing the batteries a royal pain in the you know what.Common question: You've been warned about leaving the base unit plugged in to change batteries but what happens when you change the batteries in the remote sensors? Will you lose history when doing this? Well since the history is recorded inside the base unit it really doesn't matter if you pull the batteries out of the remote sensors to replace them. However there could be a little itty bitty issue. Normally once the batteries are re-installed in the remote sensors they will re-connect to the base unit automatically. But if they don't guess what? You may need to reset the base unit (by removing the batteries and unplugging the A/C adaptor). And if you have to reset it guess what? You're going to lose your history. So hopefully your remote sensors reconnect after changing batteries. Of course it's not the end of the world if you lose your history but still.Installing the rain sensor: This should be placed somewhere where it's not under trees or any other obstructions. I put mine on top of a vent on the roof. Be aware this unit really needs to be level in order for it to work correctly. One way to level this is to put it on a piece of wood (using the included 2 screws) which then in turn is placed on silicone caulk with washers used to hold the wood level until the silicone has cured (about 24 hours). Worked OK for me. Just be aware that the main threat to this device will be debris (like leaves in the fall) getting into it's collection area. As I said before just install this where you can periodically check things and easily perform routine maintenance (changing batteries or cleaning it out). They indicate this can be 100 feet from the base unit. RULE #3: Check the signal strength before permanently mounting - there are signal strength indicators on the base unit.The rainfall sensor can be calibrated if necessary but it's a pretty entailed process. It requires mechanical adjustment of the "buckets" in the rainfall sensor itself.Installing the combo sensor: It's rated as "weather resistant". The notes say to put this under a tree limb or some other "sheltered" area. To install this they have provided an opening in which it can be hung on a hook or something similar. In the directions they indicate you could use string to tie it on the bottom of a branch. Just be sure it is sheltered and not next to your house (because then readings could be wrong). I put mine under the north side of my shed's roof overhang. They indicate this can be mounted up to 300 feet from the base unit - call me a little skeptical - but you've been warned with RULE #3 above.The temperature, humidity and pressure of the combo sensor can be calibrated on the base station if required.Once everything has been positioned the unit will go into a 14 day learning mode in which it tries to understand your local weather better. It does this because a part of the display has a "predictive" feature which tries to identify what the upcoming weather will be - storming/clearing/whatever. Out of the box it actually does a half way decent job. 100% accurate? Nope - but neither is the TV weather. I find this unit to be more entertaining though.What's on the display? It's got a lot of goodies. You can refer to the online manual but in short here's what you can expect:-Temperature, with trend (higher/lower/steady) and daily low & daily high.-Humidity, with trend and daily low & daily high.-Calculated dew point.-Pressure, with trend.-Upcoming weather "prediction".-Lightning strike count and nearest distance (also have recorded values for various periods).-Rainfall in hundredths of inches (so down to .01" - also have recorded values for various periods).Overall this device is easy to install, easy to use and is attractive. Out of the box it seems to be accurate enough for me. Yup, I like and would recommend.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Most useful functionality for a bargain price.
*by T***. on September 16, 2018*

My main motivation was the rain gauge and when finding this device that also had internal/external temperature and humidity for a fairly low price I thought I found my match. It didn’t matter too much that the display is a rather old-fashioned mono-chrome LCD without backlighting. Smartphone connectivity would have been a nice feature, but once again not mandatory for my use either.I’ve had the device for a month now and overall very happy with it. Currently sitting thru (now depression) Florence, the rain gauge got a decent workout and compares fairly well with the conventional glass tube meter I have set up nearby. In fact, even without calibration the first decimal place of the digital readout correlates fairly well with the glass tube.Setting up the three components is easy enough. Just add batteries, as long as you remembered to get some AA and AAA since the devices do not come with any. While the pairing is hard coded via dip switch and does not require any further settings other than making sure that the rain gauge and the receiver are set to the same letter. However, if you replace batteries in the rain gauge you automatically reconnect albeit with a high value (in my case 99.4 inches of rain) which would be reset the next day, if it wasn’t to remain in the historic data and render any past values useless. Removing the batteries from the receiver fixes the issue but also resets historical values.I have the display unit set up about 10 ft (3m) from the outside temperature/humidity sensor and about 13 ft (4m) from the rain gauge. Both signals have to travel thru an outer side wall (Masonite panels) and the rain gauge also travels thru the ceiling to the balcony above. Signal strength is typically between 3 and 4 bars (out of a max of 4).Overall accuracy seems reasonable for home applications and generally the parts I can verify are fairly good. The clock does not sync with an atomic clock nor the internet. Fans of metric or 24hr formats are not heard by the device as you cannot change the format of time, temperature or length. Not a big deal, but doesn’t feel timely either.
