AcuRite Iris (5-in-1) Indoor/Outdoor Wireless Weather Station for Indoor and Outdoor Temperature and Humidity, Wind Speed and Direction, and Rainfall with Digital Display (01512M)

It was a Christmas (2024) present for my husband, and he didn’t get it set up until a couple of weeks ago (April 2025). Found the perfect spot etc.It worked fine for about a week, then stopped receiving the signal. He changed batteries and it still didn’t work.Finally found out why, or at least we think we did since it’s been working ever since.We had the display plugged into an area where multiple devices were plugged into (multiple chargers mostly). My husband said he’d read somewhere, while troubleshooting, that it shouldn’t be located near other electronic devices. Relocated it, and it’s been working ever since.

The media could not be loaded. I’m head over heels about my new Acurite weather station (model 06016)! Several years ago, I bought an earlier model (same sensor but old display), and it became an integral part to enjoying our yard. But after neglecting to clean it of bugs and debris last year, I decided to brush it off outside then ‘deep clean’ it over my kitchen sink. Big mistake. Because as hard as I tried not to, some water did get up its underside, which as the manufacturer warned, could destroy its sensors. Sure enough, water must have gotten up it because after minutes upright to drip dry, the solar panel fogged up and it stopped transmitting to the monitor. Losing it was like loosing internet access!I grieved my loss, had only myself to blame, then decided to move on. Fortunately, the new sensor has the same exterior design, and fit right onto my universal pole, and like my prior, without the bracket. I did save the bigger set screw my prior had to secure the new one.BTW, the new station’s bag of hardware is hidden inside the battery compartment (Amazon directed me to Acurite’s website, which says it would be). It turned out, I didn’t need any of it for my installation.The monitor is big, intuitive, and easy to set up. Its data is more informative, including notches for the two previous wind directions, and its ‘weather select’ feature (I love that I can set it to display wind chill)!Photos show old and new.

Works Great and easy set up! There is a lot of info it keeps track of. Battery and electric.

Overall, I'm happy with this product. I've owned one before. I am NOT happy with the customer service. The unit came with a faulty wall-plug power supply, wherein a wire in the cord is broken, causing the display unit to not back-light unless the wire is manipulated. I have registered the product and contacted tech support to report the problem and request a new power supply. For a simple broken wire problem, I get scripted replies from tech support telling me to remove/replace batteries, do a reset, etc., all the stuff that is listed in the manual to do if the unit is not working. It's working! Now, they want info that is already in my registration info, plus pics of the unit after doing the unnecessary reset procedure for a unit that is already working, before they will send me a good power supply. I just need a simple power supply replacement so that the lighting can be stable. It's that simple.Additionally, I have doubts about the operability of the Weather Sensor aspirating fan. I'm getting scripted replies on that, too. Come on, AcuRite. You have a great product but, for the price, shouldn't have to jump through cumbersome, scripted tech support procedures.

Excellent performance and consistent readings

I’ve had several weather stations in the past, however the AcuRite Iris unit is by far the best. Easy to assemble, no programming required, worked great immediately. Highly recommend.

A fantasic brand. DO NOT buy any other brand, . They do not work at all. This unit is plug and play.I recommend this item

Bought mine 5 years ago and never had a problem. Batteries finally died and the anemometer was squeaking. It’s mounted 24’ above the garage, so rather than replace batteries, I decided to replace with the same unit. I figure that 5 years in the elements, with no issues, proves its reliability.
