Home Weather Stations

Hi all,

I am in the market for a new home weather station and was looking at the AcuRite Pro-Color Digital with PC Connect...any thoughts or recommendations? I am looking for something that has frequent recordings, like every hour or so and keeps a long history...

I am too actually. If anyone has any other station recommendations I would greatly appreciate it.

Scott, I liked this one because I can get readings on my phone when I am not home....and I love the color display, mine is grey and black..

Dunnzoo and Sroc4, I have the Vantage Vue from Davis Instruments. You get an all in one unit for outside and a console for inside. I also purchased their Weatherlink option which let's you go online or use your phone to see what your conditions are from anywhere. I bought it on Amazon.com because they have the best price. They also sell extra consoles for this unit. I've had it almost 2 years and have had no problems what so ever. I just changed the original battery a week ago for the outside unit. It uses a lithium cr123 battery for outside and the in side console plugs in and uses 3 C batterys as a back-up if the power goes out. Check their website out for more information. It's a really nice station. Hope this helps you guys.

I saw that Vantage Vue unit online....looks great! Will have to make a decision soon since it is going on my Christmas List!

I like that it is semi-solar powered and will feed directly to the internet so I can check it anywhere

My new toy!

Sweet, Janet!

Enjoy!

by **CPcantmeasuresnow** Fri Dec 26, 2014 5:06 pm

Janet

I want one.

Would it be rude to ask approximately how much?

by **Dunnzoo** Fri Dec 26, 2014 5:23 pm

I think about $150....see the links above for the info... it also has a bridge that helps collect the data and send it to my phone and I can be a wunderground weather station as well.... very cool! Now if we can get some weather to monitor, all will be well with the world!

When I build my new home in 15 years, I'm going to make a weather room. My wife will have no choice but to approve

Hope I'm alive in 15 years to see how that works out for you,Frank.

Remember, when you are married, you will always get the last words in after an argument with your wife......"yes, Dear....."

I've heard that one before doc hahaha

It will look like the NWS office with big screen monitors hanging on the walls. Love it! Lol

I'm not even kidding. A weather room and an entertainment room. That's all I ask for

Can someone give advice on the best spot to put my new weather station 5-1 Acurite I'm thinking on top of roof somehow or on a 6 ft post . thought higher would be better for wind accuracy

I think that's the one I got! I put it on top of my garage... sunny enough for the solar panels and clear of trees. I nailed a small piece of 2x4 to the roof and then mounted the station on that... I posted a photo somewhere on here! Good luck!
Btw I have a detached garage so no house interference..

Thanks Dunnzoo how does it work do you like it.

by **Dunnzoo** Fri Dec 26, 2014 9:57 pm

I installed it today... so far so good! And the app for the phone is so cool!

I just put mine up is a acurite Model 01525A1 they are all pretty similar quick questions for you do you have to go online first to activate the mobil app

by **Dunnzoo** Mon Dec 29, 2014 9:24 pm

Sorry skins... been busy, I just downloaded the app on my phone and then went online to register with ACU-link. Today I registered with Wunderground...not too difficult...
