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

This is the second time Ive purchased one of these. The first lasted 2 1/2 years. The temperature is terribly inaccurate. Ive followed the instructions exactly, including fresh new batteries, re pairing it, etc. If this one fails Im going with a different brand.

Ive never owned anything AcuRite. I dont even own the weather station you usually need to use with this. What I do own are several Raspberry Pis and an RTL_SDR. Getting this to be read couldnt have been easier. I simply installed rtl_433, and ran it. No commandline arguments required. In just a few seconds, it came back with the product identifier (a unique but static number that lets you distinguish one device from another), the temperature in Celsius, the humidity as a percentage, and the status of the battery (just a boolean value for either OK or not). This device sends out updates approximately every 15 seconds (though this varies by a few seconds each time; this is by design, to avoid packet collisions). The accuracy seems fine to me. When I got it, I stuck it beside our nest thermostat, and the temps were spot on. The humidity did read a few points low though, but I only care about the temps, so that doesnt matter to me that much. So far, Ive just been reading the temps manually, but eventually, I plan to write some scripts, or maybe just connect these to Home Assistant, to set up some alarms for when the garage is about to freeze, or for when the freezers are about to unfreeze. So far, Ive only put one in the garage, but Ive ordered a few more to monitor the fridges and freezers. For the price, you really cant go wrong.

I bought this to replace the exact same sensor that originally came with my AcuRite weather station. The sensor that came with my weather staton was constantly losing connection. I tried everything numerous times, such as replacing the batteries, resetting its base station, changing locations many times, etc. Nothing worked. Since I have been using the new sensor, everything is working fine once again, and the sensor is no longer losing contact with the base station. I was quite disappointed that the original sensor only lasted two years before having to be replaced.

Got this to replace a broken one. Works as expected.

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

If youre on the fence, dont be. It replaced my broken one that I had for over 10 years. Check the #s inside of your old one and make sure you read them clearly so that you order the right one.

Great replacement

Works Perfectly as connected with the indoor terminal without issue.

old one was blown off pole, and fell in water, couldnt get it to dry off. bought this as replacement, worked with temperature gauge

This product was a replacement for one that stopped working. We had it for a few years and needed a new one. This one is working great.
