AcuRite 01096M Temperature & Humidity Monitor with 3 Indoor & Outdoor Sensors

R. Nelson: We live in a manufactured home with a crawl space and exposed plumbing. I have to be aware of monitoring temperatures and humidity year around. With these multiple sensors and such a nice display I can easily monitor inside, outside, underside and heat tape temperatures all in one place ... at a glance. LOVE IT!

J. Lynne: we've installed a dehumidifier downstairs in addition to a foundation waterproofing system - sometimes the dehumidifier works too well, so I wanted to monitor the humidity throughout the three levels of the house, and this works great.

J. D. Foy: I wish it had fractional temperatures for Celsius, the way it does for Fahrenheit. But that's my only quibble. It's easy to set up, easy to use, and adequately documented.

Gordon Meek: Never had any issues with the product and they work as good as advertised. I would recommend this product and brand.

ShawnSShawnS: We had a single sensor Acurite device that has been in operation for 8+ years (still going). I decided to get this model so that we could monitor more than one location. Getting the white frame was a good choice because as you can see by the picture, it was easy to able the locations. The pump house you see monitored here is about 100' from the receiver. The signal travels frm the receiver, across the living room through the garage and penetrates the well insulated pump house walls. I did have to make more than one attempt to connect all three sensors but it only took me about 30 minutes total to set up and place the sensors.

Dale Murphy: Have a Rv using it to monitor temperature in fridge and battery box and water tank area enclosure works well

rgb: Could not get this unit to see all three remote sensors all the time. Would show any random 2 after removing/replacing batteries but never all 3 sensors. Base unit temp display always worked. Plus this is small and hell to read with old eyes.

Not sure why we need a date and a clock in this either. Just takes up valuable real estate.

Sending back to find a more suitable (visually) unit. Not to mention everything working.

LS: We have been using it for a month and really like it. It is very functional. We hang on the wall. The font is bold and clear, very easy to see.
The only thing to note is the calibration step. Ar first, the 3 sensors are not consistent. This doesn't mean it is not working, you just need to calibrate them. To do it, you will need to put them at the same spot for like half a day and then calibrate them to show the same temperature and RH. The user manual has the direction for how to calibrate the sensor. After that, you just set the unit and time/date, and then that's it.
We put one the 3 sensors at outside, garage, and basement. We have some food stored in the garage. There is one day that the garage is really hot, like almost 30 degree. We saw the temperature and moved the food to basement, which is the coolest place. We won't notice the hot temperature so quickly in the garage without this little unit. Also, when kids need to go outside play. you can easily know the temperature outside and let them to wear appropriate clothes. I used to check the weather on my cell, or just have to go outside and feel it. Now it is so easy. Highly recommended!!

L. Ross: I purchased these multiple sensors to monitor the rooms in my home as we don't have central heating/cooling. Rooms are heated by electric baseboard heaters, that are not on individual thermostats. Upon opening these sensors and getting them up and running, the main panel and the sensors all showed the same temperature and humidity within 10 minutes. After several weeks, I noticed that one sensor was showing the exact temp and humidity all the time, day or night, no variation at all. I removed the batteries to "reset" the sensor, and it began working properly again and has been normal for 6 days now. Earlier reviews indicated problems, but I've not seen any of them except for the one that got "stuck", and as noted, it's working fine now. I believe the sensors to be accurate, and I would recommend this system if you are looking for a good way to monitor your home.
UPDATE AFTER 60 DAYS:
So, overall these units are working exactly as they should. During the last 60 days, the earlier mentioned sensor continued to "get stuck" about once a week, so I exchanged it with another unit that was closer to the receiver. That completely solved the problem, all sensors are working properly...

LennoxLennox: overall great temp/humidity station. Originally I was not getting readings on 2 of the sensors, however removing the batteries from the main display and setting it up again fixed that.

I've set up several different acurite stations for friends / family over the years and this one was by far the simplest setup. We've 2 of the room monitors set up in my nieces rooms to monitor temperatures in there because their rooms are drafty. We discovered one of the rooms is way too cold and needs a space heater for the winter.

Pros: -you can monitor up to 4 areas including indoor and outdoor
-You can set alarms for when the temperature gets a certain high or low temperature
-Setup really was easy, I didn't even open the instructions for this one
-You can buy a smarthub off their website and get the sensor readings on a phone app too

Cons: -originally my display didn't pick up half of my sensors, I had to remove batteries and start over. It fixed itself the second time
- I'm pretty sure than one of my sensors is about a degree off. Not sure if there is a way to calibrate these room sensors or not
