Review on 🌑️ Accurate Monitoring: AcuRite 01096M Temperature & Humidity Station with 3 Indoor/Outdoor Sensors by Ken Reiff

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good price, good facilities.

I bought these few sensors to monitor rooms in my house as we don't have central heating/cooling. Rooms are heated by electric baseboard heaters, not individual thermostats. After opening and starting these sensors, the main panel and sensors showed the same temperature and humidity for 10 minutes. After a couple of weeks, I noticed that one sensor was showing accurate temperature and humidity all the time, day and night, with no changes. I removed the batteries to "reset" the sensor and it worked fine again and has been working fine for 6 days now. Previous reviews have pointed out issues, but I haven't seen any other than the one that's "stuck" and as mentioned, it's working fine now. I find the sensors to be accurate and would recommend this system if you are looking for a good way to monitor your home. UPDATE AFTER 60 DAYS: So in general these devices work exactly as they should. For the past 60 days, the aforementioned sensor has continued to "hang" about once a week, so I replaced it with another unit that was closer to the receiver. This completely solved the problem, all sensors are working properly and providing updated readings in a reasonable time. In one case, the main receiver "froze" and had to be reset because it wasn't updated. That was about 40 days ago and it's still working fine. I continue to recommend this system for temperature control in your home!
