AcuRite Iris (01535MCB) Professional Home Weather Station with HD Display

My hubby is a weather nerd. He just loves this weather station. It was a breeze to set up, and gives accurate readings.

Got this for a gift for my husband. He just loves it. It provides what he is looking for in a weather station. The price was good as well. Easy to set up. The customer service was great. You can only reach thru an email. But they were fast and answered our question right away. So I was pleased. The color is very vibrant love it. No complaints.

First let me say that this is one great little station that has worked beautifully and measures accurately. The display is a thing of beauty, big & clear & easy to read from any angle (no LCD angle issues here because it's LED/TFT display). I live in Australia so I have a couple of issues with station. Firstly the power pack supplied only had a US plug on it so I had to get an adaptor plug (no biggie). The date format is MM/DD/YY which drives me nuts as here in Oz we are DD/MM/YY so I have to convert every time I read it and this is not configurable in settings. But the biggest issue I found, and I had to make physical modifications to the unit to overcome, was that the base unit is rigged to face south with it's solar panel so as to maximise the direct sunlight in the northern hemisphere..... here down-under the sun shines from the north so I had to orient the unit north and in doing so had to flip the wind direction tail around 180degrees so as to read the wind direction accurately....and that tail is not made to be flipped! After some tail shaft adjustment by filing down a new flat spot I managed to flip it around successfully. The final thing that is not reading correctly (and I suspect may be a southern hemisphere issue again) is the "Feels Like" temperature is not correct. Currently where I live in Melbourne Australia we are in mid winter and it's cold when the wind blows, however the unit is most likely programed to think in northern hemisphere mode where if the July wind is blowing from the south it's going to feel a little warmer than the gauge reads..... well it's the opposite in Oz, southerly winds are the cold ones here so it never "Feels Like" it's warmer than the gauge reads in July. I am thinking these things could be fixed in a firmware upgrade some day, but until then, I am happy to have my Acu-Almost-Rite station.

I had another weather Accurate station before and it was a pain to understand and set up. This station was easy to setup and easy to read. I would definitely recommend this station

I purchased the AcuRite 01535M 5-in-1 Weather Station with HD Display in January 2018. It no longer works as it keeps showing the temperature as -40 degrees. Have changed batteries, reconfigured the connection, changed channels,reset to factory settings, no help. Enjoyed the weather station but didn't last very long. Also wish there was a battery backup as when power goes out, it loses the YTD info. Only gave 2 stars because it stopped working after 16 months (warranty if 12 months). Updated 6/6/18: I am updating the rating to 5 stars! Contrary to other reviews, I was able to contact Acu Rite's Customer Service through their chat and they were extremely helpful. After troubleshooting it was determined that it was a bad sensor and even though was out of warranty sent me a complimentary replacement sensor! Now it is up and running and works like new! My experience with Acu Rite's customer service/tech support was A+ and I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another weather station from them in the future.

This is a really nice product and it worked out of the box. But the auto dimming mode on my display doesn't work and also I have tried to add Accurite temp sensors to it and this display would not see them. But the wind and direction work well, Temp is accurate with the humidity. Just wish the temp sensors that I purchased would pair and the display would dim. But in today's world it's rare to buy a new product that works 100% out of the box. Additional comment: After three business days of trying to contact customer support with out ANY luck at all I did some research. Apparently Acurite does not have any real customer support any more.. This could be an issue issue if you have a real problem. So far I can live with the two discrepancies that I listed above. It's a nice unite but BEWARE - No Customer Support. No phone support. No live chat and NO EMAIL RESPONSE. Nice product just too bad there is NO ONE to answer your questions or conerns. Upate - After five weeks in service we got a second rain and NOW the rain gauge quit working. Very disappointing for sure. Also this is mounted up 30' on a metal building and a rain slick roof so it's not going to get checked out till spring now. Some other observations are the weather forecast picture display doesn't have a clue what's coming or current and the barometer is not accurate at all. I check it with the local airport that is 1/4 mile away and my good old trusty mechanical barometer and it's pretty far off. The "two week" leaning period for the weather forecast pictures and the barometer are truly a joke. I'm of course past the 30 return window with Amazon and no response from Acurite for a service request. The unit is really a toy and waste of money and effort to install. Buyer beaware is the name of the game with this unit. Additional update - December 2019 - Interesting thing with the rain gauge, it woke up. Today we had 25mph winds and the sensor was bouncing around atop a 4' pole that is 2" in diameter. In one hour the rain gauge measured .61" inches of rain. The problem was there was not a drop of rain. The movement of the unit at the top of this pole must have bounced the rain gauge enough to trigger it constantly for an hour and I go 5/8" of rain with out a drop falling. I guess I can't blame acurite for this but at least it woke the gauge up or broke it loose. Can't wait for some real moisture to see what it measures then. Final update - October 2021 - Well about 6 months ago the rain gauge part of the display would not store the historical data and display it. I knew the 5 in 1 sensor was okay as I would get rain results as they happened but in the 48 hour period following the historical data for this one event would disappear. Well I put up with this until this month when I finally tried to do something about it. I powered down the display to dump all the stored data and after waiting 5 minutes I powered up the display and half of the graphic display was blank!! Now I try to go into the menu and do a hard reset and it won't allow me to do that as it produces a blank screen. I have played with it for two days now and while I still have wind speed, direction, temperature, humidity the rain gauge stopped working. As I mentioned half of the information on the display is missing so it's time I start looking at a brand new weather station and you can bet it won't be Acurite. This isn't the first piece of Acurite gear I have ever owned but it will certainly be the last. Acurite puts some great features in all their products but you have to hold your breath that it works for a year. I got three years to the day and this thing died completely. So it's time to move on. Thank you Acurite for a neat product it's just too bad it's build of such cheap material it just quits working.

So far so good. The unit is performing quite well IMHO. The unit rain gauge is within .03" in a half inch of rain right out of the box . I have another electronic rain gauge that I had calibrated, to which I compared the new station. The wind speeds seem to be in line with forecast wind speeds in the area. The unit is mounted in the open at between 8' & 9' in the air. The display screen on the inside monitor is awesome; great color, tons of information & easy to set up. The inside temperature had to be corrected which was easily done per the easy to use set up of the indoor monitor. As far as the outdoor temperature from the unit, even with the sun out & in the 70's, temp was within 2 degrees of my two other electronic temp gauges; when the fan cycles within 1 degree. All in all a great unit for the short time it has been in operation! Update-March 21st-the unit continues to impress with its impressive display of data. Worth every penny if you like to know what it is really going on at your location. We had 15+ inches of snow and it continued to perform as it should. We have had 3 degree after high 60's & low 70's with the unit never missing a beat!

This is the third generation of this brand station that we purchased in the last 15 years. This is by far the best we’ve bought. Outstanding coverage very nice computer monitor. Brilliant colors perfect amount of information needed for a home weather station. Easy installation. Follow the instructions and you’ll have no problems.

This is our second unit of the same brand and model (the first unit lasted about 4 years but the monitor eventually froze out, may have dropped it too many times). We actually used the existing sensor assembly with the new monitor, and ended up buying a second monitor only so we had 2 complete weather stations. Easy to read, bright. The one change is no battery backup so you lose your data if the unit is unplugged. We really like this unit, we purchased the battery extension (so you don't have to climb up to the sensor to change batteries) and the lightening detector as well.

Product was original land as described

App does not work for this model for android phone. Check the rating of the app if you dont beleive me. Therefore i cannot download any historical data . No forecast for middle east. If thats the case why sells it in the middle east?

Excelente calidad física. Aún no lo pruebo funcionalmente.

For our use. It's a good product
