ACURITE 00589 Pro Color Weather Station with Wind Speed, Temperature and Humidity

Todo : su fácil instalación, su tecnología

Great unit. Replaced old unit damaged during ice storm. Now I have 2 displays, one for sunroom and one for living room. My only complaint is there is no humidex reading. There is a reading showing the wind chill factor (outdoor temp 30C and humidity at 75% and wind chill reads 30C). Not sure if that is right, old display shows 36 degrees humidex.

I bike to work on days that isn't too cold nor rainy. So I wanted a device next to my bed when I wake up and quickly check the temp and weather condition. I was going to get the simple device with just the outdoor thermometer. Well this on eis on sale for the same price and had a wind measuring device so that was better. ALso this model has a better screen then the simplier one. Goods: + great for the price I got it at. Also I got another one as a Christmas present. + seem to be well built well, even the wind outdoor therometer was built pretty good. + setup was easy and it sync instantly. I have mine on the 3rd floor and it is outside in my back yard so the range is fine. + outdoor temp is on pair with accurate weather website I checked the city I live in, exact number. Indoor I think it might be 2 degrees higher compared to my house thermometer. + screen looks nice, but it is just led on a color background that doesn't change. + good dimming mode. It dim the led brightness per the time range (you can read the manual for that). It doens't have a light sensor, which I thought per term auto dim, but I did read the manual and it is time range). Issues: - Outdoor wind speed is very low if you place it low to the ground. You need to place it as high as you can. - led viewing angle, you need to be above it to see it. My is placed above me when I sleep so I can't read it when laying down. pending: currently it is still learning (they say 14 days), but I see it is producing some graphic of what is happening. I will see how accurate this gets. Overall for the price it is a great product. The wind speed is low as I don't have a higher mount to place it on. Also I didn't install the backup battery, don't care if it lose data of last month. But you do need 4 AA batteries for the wind outdoor thermometer.

This product works really well. The display is very easy to read. The part you mount outside is on top of my clothesline so it gets good wind readings( not to easy to see in my picture). I wish it told the wind direction as well. It was easy to install but you do need somewhere that is not sheltered from the wind.

I have had this weather station for five years & used it for only the winter season. It works well and records what the weather has been. The problem with this unit is that it will not work with snow. During snow the wind cups/ top of unit collect the snow & the wind speed will not function so all I get is humidity (snow) & temperature. I have to continually brush the snow off for it to pick up wind speed. I don’t recommend this unit in an area with snow. The monitor no longer works.
