The AcuRite indoor outdoor weather station has an outdoor temperature sensor to act as an outdoor thermometer that provides measurements for outdoor temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and moon phase. The auto-dimming, backlit LCD color display features an indoor temperature thermometer, trend arrows, and daily highs and lows for temperature and humidity. Similar to an atomic clock weather station, AcuRite Intelli-Time technology makes it easy to always know the date and time without adjusting for daylight saving time. This weather clock’s Intelli-Time technology also saves your time in case of a power outage. The home weather station features self-calibrating technology to provide your personal weather forecast 12 hours from your current conditions. The digital outdoor thermometer sensor is powered by two (2) AA alkaline or lithium batteries (not included). The temperature gauge indoor display uses an included AC adapter and can use 3 AA batteries (not included) for optional battery backup. This weather monitor, which includes indoor and outdoor thermometers, is a great addition to any weather center and can act as a portable weather station anywhere there’s a wall outlet (Like for use as an RV weather station). A perfect gift idea for new homeowners, birthdays, Father’s Day, or Christmas, this weather stattion (estacion meteorologica) comes with a limited one-year warranty.
Simple Setup and Use: Install 2 AA batteries (not included) in the outdoor weather station sensor and easily hang on a post or tree branch using the integrated hanger to begin receiving your weather forecast and hyperlocal conditions
Real-Time Weather Conditions: This indoor outdoor weather station has an indoor temperature gauge and an outdoor temperature thermometer for indoor and outdoor temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure trends from an outdoor temperature sensor
Weather Forecast and Forecasting Technology: The outside temperature thermometer wirelessly relays data to provide a hyperlocal, personalized weather forecast 12 hours from your current conditions, so you can plan your la crosse or other sports game!
Intelli-Time Weather Clock: Much like an atomic clock, the indoor weather station display automatically adjusts for daylight saving time and saves your time in case of a power outage, a feature similar to only the best home weather stations
Illuminated LCD Color Display: Easy-to-view digital indoor outdoor thermometer display has an adjustable dimmer to make for the perfect addition to your home technology and allows easy placement anywhere in the house, office, or as an RV weather station

Title: A very good unit for a very good price
Review: This is a very nice weather station. Once you get it set up the way you want it, it performs well. It has almost all the features that I wanted, and they all work as advertised. The temperature readings are accurate, as is the barometric pressure (see below). I never pay much attention to the humidity readings, as those sensors are subject to all sorts of variations (However, after many months of ownership, I find that the humidity readings are helpful, if not perfectly accurate). The only negative that I can think of is that it is not possible to set the clock to the 24-hour format. I like to use the 24-hour format, even though I'm in the USA, but for most users this would not be an issue.Here are some other things that potential buyers might want to know:1) Setting up most of the features is not particularly difficult, but manually setting up the barometric pressure is a bit of a challenge. Many people won't care about that, but I do. I wanted to set it to the reading at our local airport, and it took me about 15 minutes to get it right. The procedure is addressed in the manual, but it could be explained a little more clearly. (The unit does have a 14-day "learning period" during which, I assume, it's supposed to eventually automatically detect the barometric pressure. I neither wanted to wait, nor did I trust this feature to get it right, so I switched from "automatic" to "manual" to set it myself.)2) The display is very clear and colorful IF IT IS BELOW EYE LEVEL. The more it is above eye level, the more washed out it will be. In other words, you want to place this weather station where you will be looking down at it.3) It is unrealistic to expect devices like this to actually forecast the weather. This is tough enough for supercomputers to accomplish. If you want a real weather forecast, go to a weather website or watch the Weather Channel.4) While the literature never explicitly says so, I believe that the time-date function is tuned to the National Bureau of Standards atomic clock [after months of ownership, I have concluded that this is not so; the clock runs just a little bit fast and has to be manually reset]. There is a separate button battery to power this function, which is why the time and date are correct right out of the box. Of course, you do have to set the time zone and whether or not daylight saving time is used in your area.5) The product information clearly says that this unit is designed to be plugged in. Do not expect it to be otherwise. The batteries are only for back-up in case of a power failure. Be sure to put in the three AAs so you don't lose all your settings if the power goes out or you have to unplug the unit.6) Read the manual.

Title: Works fine after adjustment
Review: I've had the home weather station for about 3 months. I like the color, display brightness, and size. The outdoor humidity was way off but the instructions showed how to adjust and now it is fine. I compared the web online humidity with what the weather station was showing and adjusted accordingly. I like how it shows the indoor humidity going down when the furnace is on (drying out the air) in cold weather and higher humidity when the furnace isn't on so much. I also like that it plugs in and has a battery backup. The temperature is accurate. It automatically resets the high and low temperature and humidity at midnight, and I like that.I considered spending more to get one with a wind gauge, but sooner or later wind gauges fail because most are mechanical plus a lot of comments say a wind gauge is what they are most disappointed in. If you want a basic weather station without the hassle of rain or wind gauges, this is a good one.

Title: Not bright enough for us
Review: Overall the product was good. Temperature seemed accurate. Color on display was nice but not bright enough. Not as easy to read from a distance as we hoped.

Title: Practical and accurate
Review: I am so glad I got this, you can adjust the brightness on the display. I really like that it tells the humidity in the house which will come in handy in the winter. Very easy to set up, great signal strength.

Title: Good RF distance, bad weather prediction.
Review: The display isn't fantastic and quite disappointing. On the plus side the sensor does read over quote a long distance, so impressed with that. However, even after the calibration period the weather portion is just plain wrong most of the time and is therefore a waste. The temperature and humidity reporting seem fairly accurate and work fine. The weather in the middle is worse that being a waste or space because it is factually just wrong much of the time.

Title: Nice display
Review: The weather station is accurate and the display is bright and easy to read. At night, I touch the top button to dim if needed. My 7 year old grandson loves looking to see what temperature it is.

Title: Good little unit!
Review: Bought this unit to replace my old AcuRite which was working fine until I dropped and busted it. This unit has features that the older one did not have, i.e., moon phase and humidity levels. I really like the color screen. The only issue I have with it is that the screen is smaller than my old AcuRite which makes it harder to see from across the room. The color screen does provide contrast so when close enough it is easier to read. All in all, it is a good little unit.

Review: I recently gifted this to my mother-in-law, and it's safe to say she absolutely loves it.She uses it all the time and has even confessed that she can't go outside without checking the outside temperature on the display first.The color LCD screen makes it easy to read, and the temperature/humidity sensor is accurate and reliable.Overall, it's been a fantastic addition to her home, and I'm so glad I chose this as a gift for her. Highly recommend!

Review: Llevo usando este instrumento 28 dias (AcuRite modelo 02074/02077). Le doy 5 estrellas no porque sea perfecto sino porque estoy satisfecho con el y lo recomendaria con gusto a cualquier amigo. Lo primero que me sorprendio fue que la fecha y la hora se ajustaron correctamente apenas le puse las pilas (solo hay que ingresar la zona horaria y si el tiempo de verano esta en efecto). No se de donde tomo la informacion pero estuvo muy bien (Intelli-Time Clock). Los sensores son precisos y faciles de calibrar. El sensor exterior funciona muy bien. La señal atraviesa dos paredes desde mi patio hasta mi escritorio y la señal es la mas fuerte. La pantalla es facil de leer, aunque hay que verla un poco desde arriba, porque a nivel de ojo pierde nitidez. La brillantez de la pantalla se puede ajustar a tres niveles, pero el nivel mas bajo es del 30% de brillantez y si colocas la base dentro de una recamara chica, la luz todavia es muy brillante y no deja dormir bien. Seria bueno que pusieran un cuarto nivel de brillantez que fuera Brillantez = OFF. Algo que definitivamente no funciona bien es el pronostico del tiempo (Weather Forecast). Ya pasaron los 14 dias de Learning Mode, mas otros 14 dias (pues el manual dice que se sigue calibrando por un total de 33 dias). Todos los dias despues del medio dia marca lluvia con rayos aunque aqui en mi ciudad hemos tenido cielos despejados los ultimos 30 dias. Tal vez use la calibracion manual de la presion barometrica a ver si con eso funciona mejor. Aunque el instrumento se puede usar con pilas, AcuRite recomienda insistentemente que se conecte a una fuente de corriente usando el adaptador de corriente que viene incluido. Esto limita bastante donde colocar el instrumento dentro de tu casa.

Review: When you wanna know what may happen at your residence versus your neighbourhood, this little sensor is pretty good. This is our third monitor. We have one in our bedroom, on but our patio, and he gave another as a gift. I will note that this newer model is a bit smaller and a bit dimmer that is predecessor, but other than that, we really like it.
