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.
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.
When it works, it's great. Unfortunately I get a "loss of signal" frequently even though I am less than 50 feet from the unit and batteries are fresh. Disappointing, to say the least.
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.
I would rather have repaired the one I had. But your site said it was too old style to do so. Also it's upsetting that you can no longer speak to a person. Being near the ocean is hard on the unit and needs better protection from rain.
