🌡️ Accurate Monitoring: AcuRite 01096M Temperature & Humidity Station with 3 Indoor/Outdoor Sensors Review

In this review, I compare the Acu-Rite device to two other popular 3-sensor devices. Acu-Rite, VivoSun, WA54 All devices have 3 sensors All devices are battery operated, Acu-Rite requires AA batteries which are not included. Acu-Rite was the most accurate because one sensor reading differed from the other two. This is the only system that allows calibration, WA54 and Vivo-Sun cannot be calibrated. If battery power is lost, calibration is lost and default values are set. RANGE: I got all three…

To answer a few questions that several people including myself have asked. These AcuRite receivers will connect to the first set of transmitters they find. This means if you put batteries in a set of transmitters and then turn on the first receiver, it will connect to that first set of transmitters even if you remove the batteries from those transmitters, which is what you will do. do in the next step. The next step is to remove the batteries from the first set of transmitters and put the…

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…

The outdoor remote thermometer works reliably and emits a strong radio signal that can easily be picked up by the base station. The internal remote thermometers would get stuck intermittently and would continue to read the same temperature until the batteries were removed and replaced. Also, the indoor thermometers really can't handle temperatures below 32F like you have in your garage. They go out and require the battery to be removed and replaced to come back to life. The base station seems…

It's worth every penny! An absolute game changer for my home. Different floors of my home are set to different temperatures, and as temperatures rise, it affects the humidity levels on each floor. I already have a fancy Ecobee with remote sensors in many rooms of the house. This means that I already know the temperature in different rooms of the house well BUT I had no idea what the humidity levels were in different rooms. This amazing device and its little accessory gave me very accurate…

*UPDATE* 2018-06-22 - Downgraded to 1 star. The readings from the remote sensor are even less stable than it seemed at first glance. In the evening it can be +3 degrees above the actual one, in the morning from normal to -1 or -2 degrees. It appears to be around 70°F which is pretty close to (+/- 1 degree), at 75° it appears to be +2-3, and in the mid sixties the reading kind of falls into the minus - at 65°F shows 66°-63° and at 60° 58°-61°. Also, I've found that if one of the sensors fails…
