The Direct-to-WiFi display is easy to read and is a great upgrade from older AcuRite displays. We had difficulty connecting to our ISP's WiFi hub, though, and eventually switched to the Access interface to allow web connection. Your mileage may vary, but as always, you can rely on AcuRite to help in the event you had any issues.
I like the black background, but the wind numbers are dark rust and barely show up when you are 6 feet away. Note how hard they are too see in the photo below.
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.
This is the second unit I have owned. Great product. On the new unit, just can't get it to work with WiFi. Other issue, can the rain readings be edited? We had 30 MPH winds, blowing snow for about 14 hours. Says we had over 20 inches of rain !! My station is about 14 feet in the air.
This weather station was easy to put up and calibrate. The system has been very helpful with all the weather that we have been getting. I have cross checked my system with the local weather reporting station at our near by airport. Very happy with the system as this is my second station from Acurite. The Iris system is awesome.
I always wanted something better that my old indoor outdoor temperature gauge. This fits the bill perfectly for me. Easy install if you don't count climbing a ladder to the peak of the roof. I hooked it up to my WiFi and with the app can check it anywhere.
