About AcuRite Wireless Home Station (01536) with 5-1 Sensor
Overall Feedback:
71% positive
74% liked the user interface and display, but 26% found it confusing
I have noticed that the display screen has a limited angle for proper viewing and one has to put the display on the ground to see it clearly.
65% were satisfied with the range of sensors, although 35% weren't
My sensor is less than 40 feet from the head unit and still loses contact.
62% appreciated the connectivity options; nevertheless, 38% experienced issues
I am not able to access the dashboard remotely as it shows no connection and no data available.
To connect to the app and website, I need to connect the weather-station to the computer with a 4-foot cord and it has a special connection to the display, which limits its connectivity options.
The connectivity options of this weather-station are limited. The published product information is misleading and leads one to believe that the unit can connect directly to WU and to a remote app. Additionally, Accurite no longer offers the hub that can connect via WiFi.
76% liked the accuracy of measurements, although 24% found inaccuracies
I have noticed that the device gives an elevated temperature reading if it is in direct sunlight, which negatively affects the accuracy of weather measurements.
The rain gauges were calibrated as directed, but turned out to be inaccurate. I placed a traditional gauge next to it and another within 50 feet.
I have noticed that the wind measurements are inaccurate. The unit records a much lower wind speed than the actual wind speed.
I have noticed several issues with accurate measurements on the weather-station. Wind speed is never correct, rainfall readings are not accurate, and the rainfall indicator is spotty at best.
