AcuRite Iris PRO+ (5-in-1) Weather Sensor with Rain Gauge, Wind Speed, Wind Direction, Temperature and Humidity (06014M)

Excellent replacement. Works perfectly.

This is my third Iris, but the first in the Pro+ series. My old one was about 4 years old, and I noticed after I moved across the country, when I set it all up, the outdoor temperature reading went too high in the sun. Sure enough, the little fan the solar panels run, was not working. It was all pretty well worn, so I opted to get a new sensor and keep my two color monitors that worked fine before. I read where others could not get the old monitors to pair. DISCOVERY: Not only must you make sure they are on the same channel (which I did and they would not pair). I decided to switch from channel C, and put my two and the new sensor on channel A. Still no pair. I finally did this, and it worked like a champ: I had the new sensor in and set. Ready to go. Then on my monitors, I have the kind that have a plug in and three aaa batteries. I unplugged them, took a battery out, so it was all dead, then put the batteries back in, and plugged the adaptor in. Within about a minute, all the outside readings appeared. All I had to do was set dates and time, and choose lighting and other parameters on the monitor. So, all was good and I repeated the same at the other monitor. Other than that little step missed in the instructions and any FAQs or troubleshooting notes.

Replaced an older AcuRite weather sensor that was beyond repair. The dual solar panel/fan makes the outdoor temperature more accurate. The original unit was always 10 deg higher than the actual temp. Checked the rain measurement against independent rain gauge and no adjustment was required. It paired right away to the indoor display

I have had versions of this system for several years now. Slowly replacing one piece at time as needed. The last 5-in-1 stopped sending data after sunset. Batteries not engaging? Seller has replaced the sensor for a new one and it is operational as I type this recommendation. No matter what, the WX station has served me well over the years. I to recommend the system. I do recommend the Lithium Batteries for longevity. The quality has been great but I know the design has aged. Mounting is super easy. Display fit on the office shelf and is fully visible at a glance. A Factory reset might be in order to sync up the sensor with the base display.

I have bought three of these over 6 years and had to replace the internal aspirating fan motor a couple of times. Having to replace the entire unit every couple of years is not great but they are not that expensive so $45/ year to have a weather station isn't too bad. I also found an exact replacement for the internal aspirating fan. So if the station sounds like it's grinding, you can replace the motor for a couple of bucks. You will need to be comfortable with taking things apart and either soldering or splicing thin wires together (I would give it a 3 on the difficulty scale).

I have owned the Acurite 5in1 PRO product since 2015. In 4 years, I have had to warranty replace and/or purchase 3 5in1 sensors, plus 2 aspirating fan components. I also have 3 additional temp/humidity sensors scattered about my home, as well as TWO color display units, and one Access unit (which is the forced 'upgrade' to replace my previous TWO access units - one replaced under warranty). As you can see, my experience with Acurite and replacements is pretty extensive as well as with the product. I have also invested hundreds of dollars and lots of time. I am an engineer, and I can truthfully say that everything about this Acurite product system is JUNK! Yes, the price and design are attractive - but that's it. They claim the product can transmit data 330' (Line of Sight), yet mine has connection issues (even with Access unit upgrade) at 75' through a wood 2x4 exterior wall. My first 5in1 sensor had to be replaced under warranty as it wouldn't even reliably and consistently connect to the displays, let alone to the older access unit. My second 5in1 sensor just failed in March 2019 after only being in service 2 years. Stopped sending data again. PLUS the aspiration fan, to maintain steady temperature readings and solar powered, failed 2x on that 5in1 unit and I had to disassemble the sensor to replace it. BTW, I have the PRO version with the dual solar panels. Because of my ongoing issues, I had purchased a THIRD unit on Amazon back in August of 2018 (for a good deal) just to have on hand in case my second 5in1 sensor failed (which it just did as I described above). In March 2019, I put that one in service and it worked fine right until a few weeks ago. I started having issues having the 5in1 sensor randomly stop communicating with the new Access unit. Add to that, it now has another failed aspiration fan unit! I now literally want to burn all of this Acurite hardware in a bonfire! As other customers have stated, you can no longer call the company and speak to someone in support. Nope. You have to email customer support through their website, and they typically respond in 6-24 hours (probably an offshore contracted help desk). In this day and age, this is unacceptable. Of course, they put you through the common troubleshooting procedures to resolve the connection issues (placement, redoing setups, reset, etc.), but for us seasoned Acurite customers, this is child's play and I already did that with no success. My 'new' Access unit started randomly dropping connections not just with the 5in1 sensor, but also with two out of three inside temp/humidity units. They claim its not the Access unit, but some kind of interference issue. Yet, my Access unit and sensor hardware has been in the same location for YEARS, without much of an issue until recently. Is it all of the sensors? The Access unit? New WiFi interference sources? Or how about the whole system together? - YEP! As I am emailing Customer Service the last week and a half for my sudden connection issues, my aspiration fan unit in my latest 5in1 sensor stops working (Here we go AGAIN! Grrrr). You know this because your daytime temp readings are suddenly 10-15F higher than any other temp sensor in your area - with no natural explanation. They have now offered to send me a new component under warranty, but I have yet to make the decision to accept as I want this nightmare to end. Who wants to spend endless hours and $$ fixing this horribly executed product? Not me! "ain't nobody got time for that!!" Let my experience be a deciding factor in your purchase decision. Read the other reviews. Acurite has gone downhill in my opinion. Nothing but low-priced, low-quality junk at this point. I already have an Ambient Weather system at my lake house since 2016. I have honestly had NO ISSUES and I am going to purchase another AW setup to replace my Acurite system. Sure, I'll spend another $80-$100, but its worth not having the hassle to deal with this Acurite garbage. Good Luck to all.

Highly recommended. This is a replacement unit for one that we’ve had for 9 years on the shore of Lake Michigan. I love being able to check in on conditions there remotely. The indoor display is easy to read and the remote connectivity is great - the app works very well. (You’ll need a separate additional device to connect via the internet)

I tried to use the digital screen I already had from my last weather station & it won't connect. So I have ordered the whole set. I want to return the one I bought but it has been on my pole & in the rain & it's past the 30 days, so I guess I'll keep it. Just remember when you order, please order the station & the screen together.

This is to replace an existing one that after about 5 years stopped working. Apparently it's a thing that some component that always goes every few years. They do sell the part as a spare part in America but not in Australia. So you need to buy all new one. Please note that you still have to buy an internal display or another module to do the online side of it.

IL a remplacé l'ancien qui ne fonctionnait plus après 3 ans. IL a suffit de le remplacer et de faire le lien dans la station météo et il fonctionnait.

We had to replace the exact same unit after approximately 7 years as it finally packed it in through fairly extreme weather conditions. So the install was very easy and the new unit connected quickly through wifi to the original two monitors that did not need replacement. Nice option to just buy the weather station only

Replaced a similar Acurite unit that lasted many years (so long that i can't remember the original purchase). Hard to believe that plastic can last so long

A multi sensor weather gauge for Rain, Wind, Temp and humidity. It works well with the sensors some distance from the display. I am not sure how accurate the temperature is at high temperatures. During a heat wave the they temperature was showing up to 4c higher then the weather bureau.At other times the temps are similar .
