AcuRite Weather Station, Black

Solid product with many mounting options. The only thing I would have liked to have seen is rechargeable batteries in the unit (using the solar panels to keep it charged). Wi-Fi connectivity is fiddly but it works.

It appears a lot of people are having difficulty connecting the Display unit to their WiFi. Just follow these instructions and it should work for you. Setting up this weather station is not that difficult. Just READ THE DIRECTIONS! Connecting to the WiFi just requires a gathering some information before you start the WiFi setup. First go to Wunderground.com and either login or create a new account. Go to 'My Profile' you will see a Tab labeled 'MY DEVICES', click on that Tab. Then click on the 'Add New Device' Button. Select 'AcuRite 5-in-1 Weather Station with WiFi' from the drop-down list. Then click on the 'Next' button. The next screen will display your Station ID and Station Key.

It's performance has been flawless. The connection to my WiFi has been rock solid. The only time it was not sending data was when my internet provider performed service on our connection. We were without internet a few hours. As soon as the our internet connection was reestablished this unit reconnect to our WiFi and begin transmitting data again. Within a few days of installing this, Weather Underground attached a Gold Star to the account for consistent reporting and consistent data. We've already had high winds here. The unit has set me numerous high wind warnings to me. I have the high wind warning set to 25 mph. So far our highest recorded wind speed has been 32 mph. I'm very pleased with the performance of this unit.

Es sumamente sencillo de instalar y usar, lo utilizo a bordo y en casa para lo q fué creado.

Funciona bien

Adjusting the wind direction "vane" involves lots of force, luckily i didnt break it. Wifipasword lengh is limited to 31 characters by setup program to configure monitor to send info to WU.
