Some Features Better, Some Not So Much
on December 3, 2025

Setup is very easy. Wifi connection is much easier to get going than on previous models. No MyAcurite or WeatherUnderground support, but they tell you that up front. I do miss the PC connectivity and the ability to download 31 days of historical data. And who was the genius that decided that the outside unit mounts on a wooden post but the solar pack requires a round pipe?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for reviewing your Optimus Weather Station; we appreciate your feedback! Streaming to Weather Underground is expected in an upcoming update. Both the Optimus sensor and the Solar Power Pack can be mounted on either a pole or a post. Both mounting instructions can be found on page 2 of the manual linked below:

I added this to my home as I already have the Atlas. I'm very disappointed My AcuRite right does not work with this so I have to now run two systems. Not sure what I'm going to do.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The rain gauge resets to 0 inches on the display every few days but the app on my phone has been keeping the total amount, The lightning detector shows constant strikes on a sunny, clear day. I've relocated the sensor to different locations a couple times with the same result. I didn't have these issues with my old Iris 5-in-1 that this replaced.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Best weather station available! Bought a different make in August and was not impressed. This was easy to set up and gives accurate data. Ended up buying two of them!
I would recommend this to a friend!
