I am very pleased with how easy it was to set up and connect to the direct to Wi-Fi display! I had data connected to the AccuRite app on my phone in minutes. I am disappointed that the direct to Wi-Fi display does not support my other sensors that were connected to my AccuRite Access. This was not documented such that I understood this incompatibly when I decided to replace my broken station with direct Wi-Fi display.
Just bought a new accurite weather station to replace one I've had for about 6 years which stopped working. Put new one up with fresh batteries, worked for a few weeks, now the temperature sensor is way off, and the rainfall and wind speed seem to mot be calibrated at all. Followed all the setup directions.

I have had a 5-1 station for 5 years on my cabin, and l love it. Two years ago we got fiber optic service, and I have been wanting wifi badly, as well as a way to use battery power. Thanks Ron
We had an AcuRite weather station before that stopped communicating with the indoor module. We got another, this time with Wi-Fi. It does not stay on line so the app is useless. Sort of frustrating.
The weather station works great as expected and like my previous one. Easy to install. The display, regardless of being a newer design, is harder to read in medium to high light environments, the font color contrast is not great enough in my opinion for east reading, no manual way to change background brightness is a degradation in functionality. Increasing the wind speed ring and direction and reducing indoor parameters is also a degradation in my opinion. The higher frequency reporting from the station is a nice added feature compared to my old station.
