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

The original AcuRite weather station sensor stopped working and a whole new weather station was almost $100. Figured I had nothing to lose trying this replacement. Put in batteries (not included), let it sit next to the base station for 30 minutes and all was synched. Works like a charm! Very happy.

This replaced my original control. Works well.

This replacement sensor connected easily to my inside unit and started right up. It saved me from having to purchase a whole complete system.

The unit works fine, but be aware that the directions that came with the master unit are very weak on how to set it up. I added this to the 5-in1 Acurite weather station with Lightning Detector. According to the directions that came with the main unit, you can set up the readout to cycle through all of your remote outdoor probes (in addition to the main outdoor temp readout). Lets say you have three additional outdoor probes (like, I have one in my greenhouse, and one in the chicken coop). And by the way, the Lightning Detector also will send a temperature reading, so that counts as an additional remote temp reading if desired. So anyway, you can set your main unit up to cycle so that it reads the remotes one after another. It will show A, B, and Cs temp, one after the other. Great, but no way will you get this using the instructions with the main unit! Even the tech at Acurite said he had noticed that issue with his at home. I forget all the details, but if I have to do it again, Ill take notes and update here. Its a lot of pushing Options and Select, but not quite the way the directions say. The good news is their tech service is very good on the phone. (Sorry I cant post the details of how to do it, but I dont dare messing with it now that its working ok!)

Outside temp on my Indoor / Outdoor Thermometer was wonky. Worked sort of and often looked like the batteries were dying though they were new. So just planned to buy a new I/O Thermometer. Didnt find any I liked as much as the one I have. Then I found this sensor replacement. Outside temp & humidity are back with no issues. Hopefully good for another 5 years or so, and at about 1/4 the cost.

Very happy with my replacement, works great!

I have an older model AcuRite wireless weather station that communicates with a remote outdoor sensor. The station stopped displaying the O/S temp and humidity. Decided to test whether the sensor or the station was at fault by trying a replacement sensor. The original sensor was the culprit; it stopped working after 10 years but the station is in excellent condition. . To successfully transmit data the sensor and the station must have the same A or B or C band setting. With the new sensor, band C works flawlessly with the station. We are in SoCal so Im confirming that the station does display triple digit temperatures. Please send cold air...

I got three of these in a set with a display four years ago. One of them stopped working correctly, so I had to buy a replacement. I know electronics dont last forever, but four years seems kind of short.

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.

Would buy again! Working great!
