AcuRite 01024M Pro Weather Station with Hd Display, Lightning Detector, Rain, Wind, Temperature & Humidity by AcuRite

The display unit is not showing wind direction and speed. It is completely blank. What to do? Anyone plz advice

I replaced an older model with this one. I did not remove the batteries from the old one before I set the new one up. It read the old station's info for a day until I realized it was not the new one. It was an easy fix. The old display ran off of batteries. This model is only plug in. I set on a window sill facing the weather station. It had a poor connection with the station, sometimes no reception over night. I thought the new station could not receive a signal as well as my older model so I moved my station from approximately 250 feet to 150 feet and not behind any trees. It still had intermittent reception. I moved the display 3 feet away from the window sill and it has worked perfectly since with the signal strength constantly at full bars.The rain sensor worked perfectly and was very accurate the first time it rained. 2 other gauges showed 6/10ths and this display showed 0.61". The second "rain" the display showed it raining for 45 minutes before it actually rained. It was out 0.75 inches. The 3rd rain was very accurate again. I will have to wait for more data before determining an adjustment. I'm not sure what interfered with the second rain recording.The lightening counter is a nice feature. The wind, humidity and temperature seem accurate.

Todo correcto, lo único para hacer notar es que si se va la luz se pierde la memoria con los datos anuales, mensuales, semanales y tiene que volver a aprender

The media could not be loaded. I know this model has been out for awhile but I have to say it...It's about time the displays with weather stations caught up with the rest of the world. I've been wanting to replace my older weather station for some time...all the while I dreamed of the display's being more graphic and in color. After looking over what Amazon offers...I found some which had the text in color and the forecast in color...however nothing "Wow'd" me in terms of the display until I came across the AcuRite 01024M Pro.Once received I had it installed within a couple days. I couldn't believe how easy it was compared to my older system. What made the installation a breeze (no pun intended lol) was the fact that the sensors are all housed within one unit...unlike the older systems which had at least three separate sensors and wires. It was as simple as attaching the sensor housing to a dowel at the height I wanted and then attach the dowel to the roof. Done. Going back to the display...all I had to do was plug it in and it automatically started the setup process and detected the sensors. In fact I didn't even need to look at the user guide it was so simple. And of course, the display was awesome. I loved the graphics...gives more of a computer feel to it...yet the info is laid out in an orderly fashion and easy to understand. An added plus which I actually love...seeing how the display is always on...is the option to dim the brightness at a specific time in the evening or...to have the display go into a sleep mode at a specific time and wake back up at a specific time. The screen dims and only shows the most important current weather info. If you need to see the main screen you simply press a key and it wakes up. The display goes back to sleep after 15 seconds of the last key press. This is very handy at night. I have mine go to "sleep" shortly after I call it a night, and wake back up about an hour before I get up. Now that is a very clever handy function. This system also updates more frequently when it comes to wind guests than my older system did which means it catches more guests with less data loss. My older system updated every 30 seconds...you can miss vital wind gust info within a 30 second span. So...this was an added plus for me. And lastly, this weather station also detects lightning which is a first for me. On day one after I installed it we had another winter storm push through and behind it heavy showers. This system detected a single lightning strike about 9 miles away...most likely off shore as we live on the coast. You see the lightning alert on both the display and the portable detector. I like how it actually tells you how many miles away the lightning was. To know if lightning is getting closer or moving further away you simply see if the system is reporting lighting with the distance decreasing or increasing. Decreasing means getting closer and increasing moving away. Simple enough.One thing to note, as you look at the included photos, I also have a wired wind gauge which is the small display you see above this weather station's display...and to the left of this stations sensors on my roof. And yes...I also purchased it from Amazon. It's electronic and gives me up to the second wind info...so a more accurate wind reading. While the wireless update window with the AcuRite 01024M Pro is much faster than older systems...there is still some data loss due to the update window it has...which is why I have a second wind gauge...kind of like a back-up system.So...if you're looking for a well put together weather station with clean crisp graphics...and in color to boot...I highly recommend this system. I'm very happy with my purchase and look forward to tracking the remaining winter storms of 2017 as they push through our area. Hope this review helps you to make your decision....

Great product in theory, but it is designed for the Northern hemisphere so the solar panels on the outside station face the wrong way in Australia. This is not insurmountable, but it means using more batteries.The lightning tracker works a treat during storms, but returns an error message once the storm has passed saying that it needs to be relocatedAlso not very durable. After 2 years, the wind meter no longer turns and the outside humidity is stuck at 99%

We've had this since May (it's July 26 now) and it does a nice job recording rain fall, temperatures, humidity, lightning and we have it a good 100+ feet away from the receiver screen. The lightning thing is neat. We've got hits as far as 38km and I think 1km is it's closest showing. During the heat wave it recorded a temp of 39 in the yard, which was right in line with the old mercury thermometer. The rain meter seems to send updates every 15 minutes or so. Cause it will go from 0 to say 1.6 after it has rained for a bit. Then it jumps to the next reading. So it's not "realtime" but it kinda is. The wind direction works good. The wind speed, hard to say how spot on it is. We've had some pretty big wind storms this year and had a high reading of 28kph. News claimed 50k gusts. Maybe it just goes by "sustained" wind speed. Overall I think it's good value. The screen is nice and easy to read and changes to the light or dark and even has pics of the current and upcoming weather. Like before it gets cloudy, it has showed clouds and rain on the display even though it's sunny. But 30-60 minutes later it becomes cloudy out. Pretty neat trick. There's cheaper and more expensive ones out there. Got this on "sale" for bout $280. We shall see how it handles -40 this winter. Lol Oh I also have it bout 20 feet above ground.
