AcuRite Iris PRO+ (5-in-1) Weather Sensor with Rain Gauge, Wind Speed, Wind Direction, Temperature and Humidity (06014M)

You don't have to replace your display unit when your sensor unit bites the dust. This unit gets all your readings back and is compatible with your existing display, so you can save a few bucks!

Works great! This is my second one. Had the first one about six years and it just suddenly quit working. Batteries were fine and could find no issues. The inside display was still working so I only got the outside unit. Put batteries in it and it started working immediately. Love it!

I bought my first Acurite 5 in 1 seven or eight years ago. The temperature sensor finally gave out. I could have ordered a new temperature sensor and simply replaced that part of my weather sensor, but shipping cost for the one ounce sensor exceeded the cost of the temperature sensor itself. An entire new sensor unit was only twice the cost of the single part I needed, so I considered the 7+ years of faithful service in sometimes brutal conditions and decided that other parts might be close to the end of their expected life cycle as well and decided to simply replace the whole unit. It was reasonably priced, and compatible with my older display unit so it was a good bargain. Only took me a few minutes to bring down the old sensor off my 15 foot iron pole, and install the new one. It began transmitting immediately to my display unit. I look forward to another 5 to 8 years of data from this unit. I am very pleased with how well it holds up when one considers it is exposed to the elements 24/7/365. I love my Acurite 5-in-1. The only feature I wish it had that it does not, is a wind "gust" measurement. Aside from that, I call my Acurite close to perfect!

I live in the desert with a lot of sun and very high winds. This works great to let me know outdoor temps and wind speeds. But because most of the exterior and interior parts are plastic (like the louvers that help determine wind speed) they tend to deteriorate and break. However, my first AcuRite Iris 5-in-1 Weather Sensor with Rain Gauge lasted for over 10 years before needing replaced. In 10 more years, I will buy it again.

Works great, easy to set up with old display in the house. old acurite got hit with a football

The thing about these weather stations is they are subjected to some pretty extreme conditions. I honestly wanted to go with a different brand, but my last 5-in-1 (non-Iris) pro lasted about 9 years in the California sun. I also have an older Acurite WIFI hub and 4-5 other sensors I use around the house and in the garages to monitor temps. If I went with another brand, then I'd have to buy more sensors. I decided to buy this sensor and give a little more life to the hardware I'm already running. Setup was a direct swap for the old sensor and I installed new Lithium batteries. What I wasn't expecting was a display unit to be included and it does support WIFI. It cannot see other sensors, but can push the data from the 5-in-1 sensor into the My Accurite app. The setup of the WIFI is a bit odd by having to connect your phone or laptop to the WIFI broadcast by the display, point your browser to http://192.168.4.1 and then join it to your home WIFI. From there you can register it in the My Accurite app by using the device ID located under the display's battery cover. I would have rated it 4 stars but since it came with a display I'm giving it 5. I tried pairing this with my older Acurite display. I tried power cycling it, resetting it, and it wouldn't display the data from the sensor. I made sure they were both set to Channel A. So I elected to use the new display and my Acurite WIFI hub saw the new sensor with no issue. When I came back into the kitchen where the old display was powered on a couple hours later, it was showing sensor data from the new 5-in-1. I have no idea why it took so long, but it is working with all of my displays and hubs just like the old non-Iris 5-in-1 sensor was. I did see a few reviews stating they couldn't get it to pair with their older displays, but I'd recommend waiting after doing a reset since it did work for me eventually.

I had to replace an old 5-in-1 that served me well for many years. This one is very accurate especially with humidity and pressure. My old one did not do real well with outside humidity and pressure. All the readings for this one are right on. When I calibrated the rain gauge before putting it up the gauge was right on as the manual stated the reading should be.

It’s wonderful that AcuRite sells the transmitter separately from the receiver/display - it cuts the cost in half to keep an extremely accurate weather station up and running! I’ve had this weather station for about ten years, and it’s been through three hurricanes until yesterday, when it finally died. I was elated to find just the transmitter for sale on Amazon. I live in Florida, and the last hurricane went right over my house! An EXCELLENT tip for mounting this - I have this attached to the top of a six foot fence post, at the top of a ten foot 3/4” PVC. After two pieces of PVC SNAPPED in high winds, I figured out that sliding a 1/2” piece of EMT into the PVC! I use 3” deck screws (4) drilled right through the side into the post!

I bought this to replace my existing sensor unit which wore out after 4 years in the intense Australian sun, which I'm OK with. Upon installing the unit I noticed that the north and south markers near the wind cups are switched around and the instructions tell me to orient the solar panel facing south. This is correct for the northern hemisphere but for the southern hemisphere the solar panel needs to face north, like with my original installation. After installing the correct orientation for the solar panel but the wrong orientation for the compass markings, now the wind direction is out by 180 degrees. Not a big deal, as I correct this in my own software, but just an FYI for other customers in the southern hemisphere purchasing this item.

My second one! First had the rain gauge give out after seven years. Very affordable and is very accurate according to the local airport reports. Have the hub, lightning detector, deluxe display and remote battery station (so I don’t have to crawl up a ladder to replace the batteries) was easy to install and handles all weather conditions when properly secured. Great unit and add ons!

Magnifico para uso en el hogar y facil de instalar

米国旅行時に買い求めて、日本国内で使用。ディスプレイセットで1万円以下だったような気がします。 2年使ったところで、温度センサーの異常発生。部品購入が日本ではできないため、今度は国内アマゾンで購入。輸入品なので、米国で売られている価格の３倍はしてるかな。しょうがない。 再設置の２年後、強風で風力計のはねが折れた。部品どり用に置いておいた壊れたセンサーの羽を取り付け、性能回復。その１年後、温度センサー異常。アマゾンでウエザーセンサー本体のみを購入。温度センサーのみを取り外して交換。壊れたものを確認すると、センサーチップ周りがさびて腐食している。海に近い環境のため、強風時の潮風による影響と思われる。恐る恐る保護材をスプレーしたが、温度計測に影響はないようです。 日本でも温度センサーのみを購入できるといいんですけどね。

Replaced a similar Acurite unit that lasted many years (so long that i can't remember the original purchase). Hard to believe that plastic can last so long
