This unit works great when it works. When first used the display would disconnect from my wifi for no reason. Been ok for about 3 weeks now. I use it mostly on my phone as I have summer and winter homes. Acurite set ups at both places. This screen is too dim in the day.
We have had a AcuRite (5-in-1) for many years. We live fulltime in a large motorhome and rely on our weather station in many locations across the US. I upgraded to the Direct-to-WiFi Display for the sole purpose of being able to monitor weather conditions and TEMPERATURES while we are away from the RV. Very dissatisfied with the device NOT having the capability to transmit the indoor temperature. We often need to leave our dog alone in our rig and purchased this upgrade specifically to monitor interior temps as part of our attempt to rectify the situation.
It ook some time to rig a proper mounting on our fence, and it took three tries to get it to connect to Wi-Fi, but once those were done it seems to be working perfectly.
I purchased this to monitor the weather conditions in a rock quarry and I am very happy. I can check weather conditions from anywhere with my phone. I couldn't be happier with the station or the app. Thanks.
The new display has less contrast and brightness than my previous AcuRite display, so it's harder to read from a distance or in low light. In the end, I paired both the new display (for My AcuRite access) and my previous display (for viewing) to the new weather station.
The product itself is great. The only problem I've had is connecting to the internet in my home. The link provided seems to be no longer valid and I've as yet been unable to connect my device to the internet, rendering part of why I bought this model useless.
