AcuRite Wireless Indoor Outdoor Temperature and Humidity Sensor (06002M) , white

Great replacement

This was a replacement for the original wireless sensor Model No. 00592TX that came with an AcuRite Deluxe Weather Center Model No. 01099 which they no longer make. The old unit was working just fine; but was looking rather weather- worn so I decided to replace it. I also ordered AcuRites Solar Radiation Shield sold here on Amazon which offers protection from the sun to give more accurate temperature and humidity readings. It should also provide protection from the rain/snow although its not advertised that way. Its very nice!!!!! (My old sensor always showed warmer temps in the summer by 15 or more degrees compared to other outdoor thermometers I had. So I put new batteries in the new Sensor, snapped into the place for it in the Shield, and hung it outside in the same place. However, no signal bars were showing on the inside display. The manual says maybe it would take 20 minutes to synchronize when the batteries were changed. I waited 30 minutes - still no signal bars. So I took the batteries out of the display and reinstalled them. Now I had signal bars; however, the display unit went into the 14 day learning mode!

Worked as promised

Works perfectly but should have priced a new one first. Part cost almost as much as whole unit.

Mine failed after 6 years. I changed the batteries and the old one still left the permanent reading of 55 (like other reviews have reported). The new one came quick and just put the batteries in and it works again. I like the atomic clock a lot. I guess Ill replace it again in another 6 years.

Bought it after my old one died after 10 years. Set up easily and works fine.

Got this into home assistant. Temps are within a degree. Have 2 different models.

Replacing batteries requires a genius because the system rarely ever works without the assistance of a genius with a PhD in Electrical Engineering. But once it operates its greats but must be protected from rain and moisture.

Our old outdoor device died. This is a replacement and seems to work as expected.

This is the third remote sensor I have purchased. I bought the original unit in 5/17. The sensor lasted a little over a year and I bought the second one in 7/18. It lasted a little over 2 years, so I bought the third in 10/20. The third one is now going bad. It seems to me these should last longer than 2- 2 1/2 years. Plus the last time I bought a replacement, I paid $14. Now is $36! I think Ill get a cheap stick-on thermometer.
