Home Weather Station Acu Rite 5 in 1 Pro+ Weather Sensor and Display and Lightning Detector Wireless 

Thank you so much I really appreciate it. I'm curious if when you did your google or youtube search, if my review of the AcuRite atlas showed up at all? Thank you for taking time to watch and comment.

Thank you Trixiegirl! I do love gadgets :) My Dad always had the latest tech back in the day and it was fun to see what he was up to. He would have loved RU-vid I think :)

Very glad to have been instrumental in your decision making Adam :) Thanks for the nice comment!

Thank you! I always appreciate your comments and thanks for watching!

Thank you so much! I'm glad the video was helpful and I really appreciate the compliments!

Glad to have quality vids... There is a lot of garbage out there! :)

I haven't found the AcuRite people to be very friendly.... I hope they can work it out with you.

They are not, and "customer service" is a joke. Unfortunate, and quite common these days.

@@Tigrizzable That's too bad. I wish they cared a little more.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! I do like making videos like this one :)

Thanks Kym

Thank you so much Tyler, they are indeed nice to have :)

Great minds think alike and eventually cross paths ;) Thanks Barry!

The Celsius setting is controlled at the display unit.

I live in a severe winter weather region. There has been now snow or ice damage to date. the components are angled so ice does not damage the rain gauge.

I haven't, mostly because this one was damaged by an ice storm. I went with the Atlas after that.

Yes, I can see the display from various angles without a problem.

Hi Daniel, you're right, the rechargeable batteries will initially show as a "low-battery" in lots of electronic devices, but they last a very long time in them. I've never had one leak? I'm not telling others to use them, just sharing what I do :) AcuRite is always coming out with new gear and new display units etc... If you have one from 1988, you're going to be very happy with the new offerings :)

I wonder if I will miss going out on cold morning to clear the frost off of the old one so I can read it - nope, ,

You can also put car polish on them :)

now you tell me . . .

:) well, now you know for your new one!

We swap them every six months... I also purchased the battery compartment extensions so I don't have to climb up to replace them.

You have to go into the display unit's settings. You have the option to select F or Celsius. You'll see three horizontal dashes on the Display Screen border. Click on that, then click on Units. Then select your preferred display units and you're done.

That's a great idea, but as of this week, Amazon and Google are having a tech-war and Google/RU-vid will be lowering exposure in searches involving videos with Amazon tags and links... so, it "could" hurt your video exposure throughout the search engine results. If they get along again some day, that would be a great idea :)

Ok, I added the links, we'll see what happens :)

From what I understand the lowing is for more then 5 links and goes up (down?) from there.

@@danielweston9188 Thanks Daniel... sorry, this response is about a year late :) You may be right as my links to Amazon don't appear to have hurt my exposure on google searches. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

You may have to contact their customer support on that problem. They should pair right up.

My display units have batteries in them, so that saves the data. Doesn't your unit have a battery compartment? When the power goes out, they automatically go dim to save power and the batteries keep the data from resetting.

Not sure which model you have as most Accurite 5-in-1 sensors use 4 ~1.5 volt AA batteries for their power. That does not mean they use 6 volts however since the batteries are wired in pairs of two, meaning it uses 3 volts for the sensors. The monitor should not lose readings when the power goes out as there are batteries in each unit. The AC adapter provided with the Monitor only provides power for the display. The three AA's in the monitor only provide voltage to the transmitter for connection to the outside Sensor. One could use an uninterruptible power supply of 5 volts DC output if necessary. I've had my Accurite Weather Station for three years, and even though I have lost House Power in severe storms, I've yet to lose data due to a power outage.

@@donaldsaxton7911 Thanks for chiming in and sharing your experience Donald!

The AcuRite Atlas which I purchased this year has a link that feeds a computer database if you need that. Check their website as there may be another data collection and website feed that you can access. Since I don't personally use that, I'd visit their primary website for details. I haven't found them to be very responsive to questions though.

thanks for your immediate response!. Which model exactly did you purchased?@@FrederickDunn

@@NEMEPOLYNHA If you follow the end link shown at the end of this video it will take you to the other review :)

@@NEMEPOLYNHA Here it is ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0WgWsvngAXc.html

One method for sure is to unplug the display unit and remove the batteries, then put them all back and it should be back to the default screen and you'll have to reset the date/time etc...

Maybe in the battery compartment?

@@FrederickDunn I ready check there and no Device ID, only the channel selection and reset bottom.

Hi there hope you read this. I have a la crossing technology and I'm not happy with it. I'm living in Canada and snowstorms is normal here. So it did start to snow and the system showed snow 30 min later. So the accuracy is not to me. Do you know if the acurite system also collect snow? I know that it's collect rain but don't know if the system collects snow. Please tell me if you know

@@torstenunhger6609 I dont know if they collect snow. I never had rain guage

Wow, I don't know what to say about that, sounds like the seller substituted another display model.

The battery condition indicator is on your monitor screen but does not appear until the battery level is at about half. once it shows you have about four to six months before all batteries are depleted. The outside sensor unit uses 4 AA batteries wired in parallel, meaning the unit uses 3 volts DC for powering the sensors and transmitter. Easy way to eliminate battery replacement is to buy the Remote Battery accessory that eliminates having to replace batteries in the outside sensor by physically changing them out in the Sensor. I did this upgrade and now my battery pack is indoors in my Master bedroom.

Here's an update... The Accessory is Model # 06052, and is available via Amazon for $54.00 or via Ebay for about $32.00. Apparently the price has went up for this little fix because the prices are all over the place and a lot more than it cost me at $22.99 back in July ,2018--Some online quotes as high as $300.00 for what is essentially a battery box with 30' of cable, connected to a terminal block that replaces the battery cover on the sensor. Perhaps ordering it direct from Accurite may get the price down to a more reasonable price. I've had mine up and running since September, and it works great!! We got 1.12" of ran in the last 21 hours here!! Another fix is to cut the battery box off the accessory, and wire in an AC Adapter, that converts 110V AC to 3 Volt DC. It needs to be 1 milliamp to avoid hurting the sensors, but it's an easy fix, doing away with battery changes altogether (but if the power goes out, I would assume there would be no sensor readings to save).

For weather information, yes, but all directional information would obviously be inaccurate.

@@FrederickDunn thank you I better keep looking

@@charleschamberlain53 You're welcome and I'm sure there are maritime instruments better than this.

I haven't used the Ambient units so can't make a comparison.

Thanks for sharing :)
