AcuRite 01021M Color Weather Station with Rain Gauge, Lightning Detector, and Forecast Accuracy

Alvin L.: Product is good. My only issue is in 3 weeks I have had it, it has “froze” and I had to twice remove the batteries and power supply then set it all up again. And there goes the history records.

7Star1: The best weather station I have ever had

Canada on Jun 06, 2021

FAW: I really don’t know if this product was good or not but I have no reason to not give a five star review! Was exactly as described. We returned it and exchanged it for something with more options.

Retired in Ohio: I guess I should have read the reviews first! Like other people, I'm having trouble getting the rain gauge to connect to the main unit. Right now I have the rain gauge less than 6 feet away from the main unit and it still won't connect. I had the same problem with the lightning sensor. I couldn't get a strong signal until I hung it right outside the window about 3 feet away from the main unit, but at least it finally connected. It was very frustrating! I switched out batteries - changed the frequency from A to B to C on all the units to try to connect and still no luck. What's strange is I have the Acurite Access that sends all the information from your sensors over the Internet to my My Acurite app on my phone. It's probably 30 feet away from my lightning sensor and rain gauge and it's actually picking up the signal from those sensors and sending the readings to my app on the cell phone. I just can't get the same info on my weather station unit. So maybe the problem is in the main unit. I sent an email to Acurite about my problem and I'm waiting to hear back from them. If the problem can't be fixed I'll probably return the units to Amazon because it's not working properly. BTW...

Niloc: Arrived on time and very easy to setup. Put the batteries in, plug in the base unit and the sensors link up in less than a min. A few days after setting up, a strong thunderstorm swept through. Recorded lots of lightning strikes and showed their approximate distance. Rain gauge showed accurate rainfall. The sensors seem to have good range, as I have both sensors in the backyard and the receiver is at the front of the house with no issues. Overall a really nice looking weather station and it works well.

CCUSA: This unit is attractive and easy to install. It will come in 3 pieces - the base unit, a rain sensor and a temperature/humidity/lightning/pressure sensor. You will need a total of 8 AA batteries (no batteries are included) - 4 for base unit backup (which plugs into the wall for its primary power) and 2 each for the rain and temperature combo sensor.

First I'd like to mention the base unit is a very attractive, colorful, unit. Is it a color display? In a word - NO. It's a LCD display (black/clear) which is in front of a very colorful background. This unit is backlit and you can select auto dim, bright, medium or low brightness levels. Auto dim simply uses bright during the day and dim at night automatically. Overall a very attractive and well executed display. As a consultant by profession I'm impressed. Nice.

To install you first need to select the channel on all the devices by setting a switch inside the battery compartment. Your choices are A, B or C. Do this BEFORE installing any batteries or plugging the base unit into an outlet. ALL 3 OF THE DEVICES MUST BE SET TO THE SAME SETTING. Once the channel has been set install batteries into all the units. As a matter...
