Review: Works perfectly - Just put in batteries, make sure it is set to the right channel and hang it up outdoors. It immediately started working perfectly.
Review: Works well and is what I was looking for. - This connected to my AcuRite weather station easily, and now tells me how many recent lightening strikes I've had and how far away the last was. NOTE: do not use this anywhere near a microwave oven, it can sense the start and stop of the oven as lightening strikes. And, I had one of these sensors before that I hung from a tree limb and it stopped working after a couple of months. So this one, I bought one of the AcuRite solar shields, so we will see if this one lasts longer. Note about the solar shield: it is priced WAY too high, more than the cost of this sensor, BUT it occasionally goes on sale for $10 to $15 less.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works Great!
*by C***X on February 17, 2017*

Works Great! I love this little sensor, it seems to be very accurate. I like the fact that the bottom of the screen turns red (HD extra display) and it starts counting the strikes right away. I like that it has a strike count after the storm has passed and gives you a distance from the strikes as well. I am going to push to get these installed at all of my neighborhood pools. There are always arguments between the people at the pools and my lifeguards about how long ago the last strike was. This takes the guesswork out of the equation. Great sensor, I can't wait until they can get integration with the smartHub.
