Review: Easy and Challenging - No one should be under any illusions that the physical installation of the Acurite 5 in 1 can be a challenge. The device must be securely and safely mounted high enough to enable the wind meter to be accurate and the other sensors to be unaffected by the house itself. I already owned two six foot lengths of 1" steel pipe and mounting bracket I decided to use that. It took some finagling to adapt the 1" pipe to the provided adapter'. I had purchased the remote battery pack since I knew that once aloft I did not want to go through the hassle of lowering the masts every time the battery wore out. Since I live in NH, I followed the advice and order the lithium batteries so that would not freeze. I wisely decided to get the unit operating to be sure I wouldn't have to pull the unit down to solve some problem. I was amazed how quickly the unit appeared to connect with the display - five minutes for everything to appear. I think it is important to have the 5 in 1 working before bring the display up. Next, I brought the remote Access unit online and again was amazed how quickly the unit acquired the roof top device. Since we had not had rain in six weeks, I didn't realize I was going to have problem with the rain gauge. However, I went ahead and extend the pipes and wrap the provided tie-wraps, cleaned and went inside to download the myacurite.com app and was again amazed to see the device come up! Finally we got some rain and discovered that while the rain gauge was communicated with the display device it was not communicated through Access with myacurite.com. I went through the debug process suggested with the Access device but no luck. After waiting a week in case it started working, I contacted service through the website through email form. I received an instant acknowledge of my submission and received a human response within an hour or so. After a couple of emails I discovered that somehow a "phantom device" had intruded into myacurite.com and when I selected the correct device, the rain gauge started being picked up within a few minutes! I don't often write reviews but felt that when a company makes a complicated set of products that works out of the box and when I have a problem I receive a service response within an, I am impressed and wanted potential buyers to know. I would be happy to answer any questions.
Review: I have a weather station! - While visiting a relative in another state, I saw and admired a weather station display in their livingroom. I got some information from them to look into a possible purchase. I have always been fascinated in the weather and I send reports in to a local TV station for their "skywatcher" spots. I knew this product would make my observations more complete, and a lot more fun! I was not disappointed! It was an easy installation and easy to use with my smartphone and desktop computer. The measurements appear to be accurate; I was able to verify measurements with other equipment. I think it's great that I can monitor conditions at home while on the road and even submit TV reports as if I was actually at home in my livingroom. I am monitoring a rainstorm as I write this....

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I'm glad I have it; I wish it weren't so fragile.
*by L***L on June 25, 2020*

My father-in-law has one of these, and I've really wanted one for a while. I finally ordered it, and started trying to install it. I mis-interpreted some of the installation instructions and the sensor fell and broke. My best guess is that it fell fifteen feet onto sod. It had a ten-foot-long joint of galvanized pipe attached, which would have increased the impact energy. Almost every boss and tab in the sensor broke. Bosses are the little cylindrical protrusions made the accept the screws that hold the pieces together. Tabs are used to hold the battery door in the bottom of the sensor. I think that if the plastic had fiberglass reinforcing fibers then the bosses wouldn't have broken. (By the way, if you want to know anything about plastic, electricity, gearing, or cursing in Canadian, then you should check out AvE's channel on YouTube.) I expect that the sensor has plenty of UV resistant materials included as neither my father-in-law nor any of the numerous other owners nearby appear to have had any problems on that score. I contacted the manufacturer of the sensor. They told me that they couldn't do anything for me except give me a 10% discount on another sensor. That wasn't much as they were giving that discount to anyone who ordered during that particular time frame. Well, I needed another sensor because the readout and the WiFi communicator were useless without it. (By the way, I didn't contact Amazon about this problem. Perhaps I should have as perhaps the answer would have been more palatable.) I think that if the manufacturer decided to save money by using non-fiberglass-reinforced plastics, then they should have been more willing to aid their customers when the sensor breaks.
