AcuRite Pro Weather Station with PC Connect, Off White Sensor/Color Display

This is a really excellent weather station. Over the years I've had a number of different weather stations and find this AcuRite mode to be the best at this point for the money. Color display is very nice with a multitude of options for display information. The weather ticker on the bottom of the display is a nice added feature. The actual weather station is excellent in it's measurements of temp, wind, rain, pressure, humidity, wind direction etc. I have had no issue with connection between the station and the display unit. The connection between the display unit and your PC is via a USB provided cable. The display runs either on batteries or has a ac provide unit. If there is a weakness to this weather station it would be the necessity of keeping the display unit connected to a PC for streaming daily weather information and if you plan on streaming your station to the Weather Underground. I had not planned on doing this but now find that I like that feature. Keeping weather station connected to your PC also allows you to access all you weather information via an app on your smartphone. Another feature I've gotten hooked on. So if you are using a laptop like I am and want to take your laptop on a trip, vacation etc, you lose the above mentioned abilities because of having to unhook the display from your PC. There is a solution which I have on order and that is AcuRite's internet bridge with remote monitoring. This unit will allow you to stream all info without having to have a physical connection between your display and PC. This is a great unit and you can't go wrong with this.

Everything went pretty smoothly with the installation and setup of the AcuRite 01079M Pro Weather Station. The most difficult part was mounting the sensor. The instructions could be more detailed on the process of mounting it and given different scenarios because everyone's locale and setup is unique. I found more info online from owners that helped to plan my placement. Also, the mounting screws seemed insufficient to give confidence in the security of the sensor. But, once the sensor was placed, it communicated immediately with the inside display unit. I did connect the unit with my computer, and AcuRite should provide a longer USB cord to allow more flexibility in mounting the display. I used a USB extender cable to mount the display where I wanted. The display is bright and very easy to read. I love the bold simplicity in the display. It makes it easily understandable without an overkill of information. The PC Connect set up easily, and I connected my unit to Weather Underground. There is some hit or miss reliability issues with the software to keep it connected to Weather Underground, but it works relatively well. I'm very happy with the unit and would definitely recommend it.

Good quality product, I gave it to my husband as a gift and he loved it! Easy to install and the data collection is great.

After a very long courtship it became very temperamental, worked like a treat for a long time, then had dummy spit. it forgot whom the boss was and wouldn't record rain. we since have done counselling after three months separation. and agreed to work on channel B Fingers crossed it doesn't become land fill.

Very accurate. Functional. Fully tested. Unfortunately it came with 120V power adapter and not dual 120/240V. I bought it for Europe. I bought a 220Vac/5Vdc adapter at an old scrap depot. Great, I enjoy it. In particular I like the wind feature and Inside/outside temperature. I dont consider the alarms useful. It is mounted in the sun. I was thinking it would give me the temp on sun. No, It gives me temp in the shade, which I compare with another thermostat. Perfect. I don't know how they do it.
