This is my third iris in 7 years. Lightning took the last two out. Product is easy to install, easy to set up with existing displays.....and provides quality useable weather data day in and day out. AcuRite makes quality and affordable products for the everyday weather geek.
After finally getting it set up and attached to wireless the system works great. The instructions are not clear on setting it up and attaching to wireless. There is nothing about if it times out while setting up so you just have to fumble around until it comes to the correct screen again. Other than that it works great!

HARD TO READ - HATE THE BLACK SCREEN. NEED TO GET CLOSE TO SEE THE SMALL DISPLAY. BACK STAND BROKE DAY ONE. NO WIND CHILL READOUT! EVEN WITH THE BATTERIES IN PLACE, WHEN YOU UNPLUG IT, ALL GOES DARK! I.E. THE BATTERY BACK DOES NOT WORK. FINALLY, IT NEVER HOOKED UP TO OUR WI-FI. WOW, THEY CAN DO BETTER.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We apologize for the trouble you have had setting up your station, but we would be happy to assist! Please note that the Wind Chill reading appears below the outdoor humidity reading once the outdoor temperature is below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Also, when using battery power alone, the backlight is only available momentarily by pressing the backlight button. To connect the display to your Wi-Fi, press the gear button on the display to reactivate the Wi-Fi Setup feature, then follow the steps in the link below: https://support.acurite.com/hc/en-us/articles/360050596233-Direct-to-Wi-Fi-Weather-Station-Setup For further assistance, please reach out to our support team via live chat or email request.
