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

it needs to be replaced too often

Finally, after 8 years of being out in New Jersey weather, the original unit failed. The inside wires from the circuit board corroded off, I believe because of the battery leaking. Purchased this one to replace the original one, and it is working perfectly. For some reason I needed to switch the default setting of C on the ABC switch to B, to get it to connect to the display unit. The failed unit was on C. Definitely recommend this replacement. A heck of a lot cheaper than purchasing a whole new setup.

ok

What I needed to make my indoor unit read the temp outside again.

The last one lasted a couple of years mounted under the eves of our beach house. Perhaps it was the salt air (standard reason for anything failing on the coast). Hope this lasts longer. Maybe I should buy a couple more. Update July 3 2022: The replacement lasted 7 months (installed Dec 20 2021). Probably try one more replacement. Will put outside only when I want to use it. See if that helps.

It took a few times to get my units to sync up. I had to do some research for the parent unit. But, I finally got it.

This was a replacement sensor that was about over ten years old. I went to the AcuRite website via their Amazon store and easily found the sensor that would work for my Thermometer. There are different options so be careful when choosing as not all sensors work with all there thermometers or weather stations. I put two batteries in my new sensor and it worked like a charm.

Works as described.

We bought the AcuRite 02027A1 as an adjunct to a LaCross Weather Channel weather station. In north central Kentucky, readily available, good weather info. can be a valuable asset. The AcuRite station is 6 years old and we are on the third sensor since original purchase. The base unit has been great, but the sensors after 1 1/2-2 years fail and will not sync up with the base. We have our sensors in a protected location under the barn leanto. The LaCross, WC w/ Oscar, is about 11 to 12 years old and we are on the third sensor. this makes the LaCross a much more reliable station, but can no longer buy a replacement sensor. Be advised-read many reviews before buying any weather station! Sensors can be expensive.

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.
