AcuRite 01007M Atlas Weather Station-New & Exciting

This New AcuRite 01007M Atlas Weather Station a Review

When I received the news that the AcuRite 01007M Atlas Weather Station was now available to purchase I was very excited.AcuRite 01007M Atlas Weather Station

 

Weather station fans and AcuRite owners have been looking forward to this since January 2017 when AcuRite announced it was developing this new and better version of their best-selling 5-in-1 weather stations.

It was announced by AcuRite with the following statement from a Press Release “LAKE GENEVA, WI. January 04, 2017

AcuRite, the leader in personal weather station technology, is pleased to announce the new AcuRite Atlas environmental monitoring solutions. The initial debut of the AcuRite Atlas family consists of three models of outdoor environmental monitoring solutions – the AcuRite Atlas 7, AcuRite Atlas 8, and AcuRite Atlas Elite.“ So this was where the Atlas started, Now it has arrived!

The AcuRite 01007M Atlas Has Some New Advantages

In taking a thorough look at the new personal weather station, it is definite that they have made the sensors more responsive to your location. They call it hyper-local.

Yes, you can now have some very specific and very accurate readings that pertain very exclusively to where you have the sensors set up.

You are no longer receiving and collecting readings that are close, but there are furnished to you with new hyper-accurate weather sensors.

As an example, the temperature readings rate out at -+less than 1 degree of accuracy. Wow, that is great.

A View From a Beta Tester

Before the equipment is released it is tested by a select group of weather professionals who actually use and rate the equipment. AcuRite then receives a review from each participant in the Beta Testing.

Acurite 01007M Atlas Weather Station

One of the reviewers identifies himself as a professional weather forecaster with over 25 years of service.

He writes and I will quote him on this, “The temperature data is far superior to the 5-in-1. There are now three panels of solar-powered aspiration, the fan starts much earlier and runs later in the day eliminating the spikes in data commonly seen in the 5-in-1 and the temperature is almost always within 1-2 degrees of our local ASOS about 5 miles away.”

So as you can see he is impressed especially with this part of AcuRite’s newest release. The Atlas also has new features that track UV exposure, light intensity included in it and you may purchase a new feature called a Wind Extension.

Types of Instruments

This model will measure temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, rainfall, UV index, and light intensity for you. So the sensors are

Display

The monitoring Indoor display features many of the new things about this new model from AcuRite. Let’s take a closer look at the facing that you look at in having the AcuRite 01007M Atlas weather station in your possession. Atlas Model 01007M Display set upIt comes with the Touchscreen TFT  which makes for effortless setup and navigation. The latest touchscreen technology allows you to enjoy your setup as well, as you personally can see how colorful it is.

So let’s look closer now at what you are getting. I will go clockwise around this display facing.

As you can see in the middle on the top sits the wind direction arrow and the last detected wind speed.

This is monitored every 10 seconds over the 2-minute span. The next larger number is the recorded rainfall for today.

It will also give you rainfall rate, accumulated rainfall for the

current week, month, and year to date.

As you continue on the bottom going left we have the current time and date that are presented on the lower right-hand side.

Next is the indoor temperature & humidity, as well as above it is the one feature I love, a 12-24 hour future animated weather forecast.

The settings such as volume, brightness, and sleep mode are located on the lower left-hand of the facing…

Going up on the left-hand side is where the dew point is read, and the current barometric pressure is read also. The Light LUX reading and the UV rating are shown here as well.

The Upper left-hand side shows you the current outside temperature as well as the low and high temps for the day.

So as you can see many things are available to follow throughout today and daily as you live your life.

There are a few more things on the display unit facing as well, but we will not discuss all of them. You may find more information by going to these manuals.

AcuRite 01078 Wireless Weather Station with 2 Displays

Let’s Discuss the AcuRite 01078 Wireless Weather Station

Weather Station With 2 Displays

 

AcuRite has a very interesting package they offer to weather fans everywhere. It is the AcuRite 01078 Wireless Weather Station.

This unit comes to you with two display consoles and with all of the data being generated and sent to you from their professional remote sensor unit.

If you are a person who is highly interested in your climate changes daily then this may be of top interest to you.

Let’s dig into this deeper and we will present to you the 5 compelling reasons to buy this for yourself.

Description of AcuRite Model 01078

This model is mainly a very flexible weather station. Its flexibility is built into a couple of things. First, the sensor may be moved to a location that is suitable for obtaining the weather data since it is wireless.

So without the fear of having enough cord for a great transmission of data to your console, it proves very flexible to its owner.

And secondly, (my favorite reason) you are purchasing two display consoles with this model.Two locations in your home will present to you all of its weather data. So which two rooms will you be putting your consoles in? Something to think about.

It also comes equipped with a high-precision 5-in-1 wireless Weather sensor.

AcuRite 01078 Wireless Weather Station

This weather sensor will collect data for you such as the temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and rain.The sensor unit has the following highlights for you to use.

It has a debris filter that prevents debris from getting into the rain gauge

Solar cell panel which converts sunlight into power to run the internal aspirating fan. The aspirating fan is supposed to draw ambient air into the sensor to reduce the radiation heating. This will allow the temperature readings to be more accurate and to not be inflated because of the sun heating up the air by the thermometer.

It uses a Weather Ticker (a Trademarked) program to stream real-time data including the moon phase, and indoor comfort level to you inside your home. It also streams for you the feels like temperature (wind chill, heat index).

5 Compelling Reasons to Purchase the AcuRite 01078

  • Reason #1-It is supplied with the Patented Self-Calibrating Forecasting pulls data from a sensor in your backyard to give you the most accurate forecast for your exact location
  • Reason #2-It uses the Weather Ticker to stream real-time information and alerts to your console
  • Reason #3-Rain accumulation data recorded for today, over all-time, by year, by month, and by rainfall event; tracks days with rain this month, and days since last rain
  • Reason #4-You will be able to get a perfectly level installation of the remote unit using the bubble level (included on top of the sensor) to ensure it is level. This also helps in getting the best wind speed readings.
  • Reason #5-It comes with dual digital display consoles which allow you to observe your weather data in multiple rooms

Most have reported actually on how short the amount of time was that it took them to set up and have it running for them.

Keep in mind when looking at this, that the variety of instruments that you get, plus the number of physical tools you will be using.

The simpler needs of a less interested person, should not be matched up with this unit. It will be wasted on a simpler needed person. Buyer beware, do not overbuy.

AcuRite 02007 Weather Station-With Morning, Noon & Night Forecasting

Features of the AcuRite 02007

AcuRite 02007 Digital Home Weather Station

This unit from AcuRite features a very easy on the eye, colored screen. This screen can be adjusted for brightness from a low setting to a middle brightness setting to the brightest setting.

Customers really like the colored display which makes it easier to read and visually pleasing.

It is also very easy to read because the numbers and letters are large enough and illuminated enough to be read well.

Both by quick glances and taking a concentrated studied look.

At night you may want to dim it down. Some customers have reported that it can be pretty bright at night with no other lights on.

They have tried to sleep with it in their bedroom and experienced trouble sleeping with just how bright it was.

It also will display both your outdoor temperature currently as well as your indoor temperature right now for you.

This unit includes settings for indoor and outdoor barometric pressure readings, 12 hour high and low-pressure readings as well.

It will present you with the Intelli-time clock known for its accuracy and the date is given to you too.

What’s Most Intriguing To Me

The quickest way that I could describe to you the AcuRite 02007 Digital Home Station is that it will break down your upcoming weather forecasts into 3 sections of the day.

The AcuRite Digital Weather Station uses patent-pending Precision Forecasting Technology to provide your personal forecast of the morning, noon, and nighttime weather conditions.

How the Forecasting Is Presented

AcuRite 02007 Weather Station with Morning Noon and Night Precision ForecastAcuRite 02007 Weather Station with Morning Noon and Night Precision ForecastI generalized when I said it was set up as a morning, afternoon, and evening forecast cycle. The precision forecasting technology that is used by AcuRite combines North America’s regional weather patterns with data measured by precision weather instruments.

These weather sensors are positioned in your yard to generate the most accurate forecast available for your location.

Also to be more accurate about the displays presentation of information on the three screens.

This is actually how they are presenting the forecasts.

The three forecast screens present to you the next 4 hours of weather report. Then another screen is giving you the next 4-8 hours forecast. 

The last of the three screens has an 8-12 hours (from now) forecast for your area.

Using the Forecasting Tool

When using the forecaster tool on the AcuRite 02007 you need to set up the geographical region that you live in, in the United States. The Geo precision settings are there you make your forecaster much more accurate for you.

The Geo settings are set up by pressing the “GEO” button, located on the back of the unit in the battery compartment.

The letters for each corresponding GEO region are shown on the display screen to help you pick and set up your correct region.

  • The backlight is pretty bright even on the dimmest setting
  • If you haven’t set everything up properly sometimes the accuracy of the readings may be suspect

Pricing-Persuading a Purchase

If you examine closing most of the AcuRite personal weather stations have many similarities to them. This one is no different than previous AcuRite released units.

They all have seemed to be competitively priced as well as they get good reviews from the majority of the purchasers.

I believe the prices paid for an AcuRite are very fair for the quality of the product, the lasting pleasure you will get from owning one as well.

I see a large advantage to this model that hasn’t been offered before. I absolutely am stoked about the forecast breakdown into 3 different time periods.

Instead of getting a large lumped (very general) forecast, I now will receive my immediate conditions expected as well as what will be happening tonight where I live. It will help to plan out things better, plain and simple.

I believe these extra things plus the Geo-Targeting can only make my case stronger for you making this decision to buy easier for you.

My Review Summation

AcuRite 02007 Home Weather Station w/ Morning Noon and Night Precision ForecastAcuRite 02007 Home Weather Station w/ Morning Noon and Night Precision ForecastAcuRite 02007 Home Weather Station w/ Morning Noon and Night Precision ForecastI see this product from AcuRite to be a good value. I see the features far outweigh any preconceived notions you may have had before you invested your time to study it.

Whether or not you buy this particular model from AcuRite, it looks to me as if these personal weather stations are great buys for weather lovers.

I would be the first to admit that this wouldn’t be something for a very died in the wool weather person, but for a family member who has some interest in the weather, or your wife, your husband, son, or daughter, who would just plain find this to be very useful in helping to plan out their days, I can’t see how you would go wrong.

Enjoy your new personal weather station and thanks for reading.

This weather station’s color display features three different lighting settings.

They are: high which is (100%) brightness, then you have the medium which is at (60%) brightness. Then your third choice is the low (15%) brightness setting.

Some other things that you should know are, using battery power alone, the backlight is available momentarily for 10 seconds.

When the display is powered with the power adapter, the backlight will remain on at full 100% brightness.

There are directions that you can adjust your brightness settings to your own preferences. Then please be aware of the Auto Dim Mode which automatically adjusts display brightness based on time of day.

6:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m. = 100% brightness
9:01 p.m. – 5:59 a.m.= 15% brightness

AcuRite 02077RM Color Weather Station with Temperature, Humidity and Forecast

Acurite 02077RM Color Weather Station

Highlights of AcuRite 02077RM Color Weather Station

When you own an AcuRite color weather station you have a special weather instrument.

The first thing that you will really enjoy is the colored screen. The illuminated color display with adjustable dimmer, and is electric-powered with optional battery backup, for your convenience.

Secondly, it monitors both the indoor and outdoor temperature for you. It also records the daily high and low temperature and then it will let you know whether the temperature is trending upwards or downwards. It does this with an upward arrow or a downward arrow.

The third feature in the highlights is the humidity level icon which conveys a low; high; or ideal humidity level for your indoor environment.

Fourth its wireless all-weather outdoor sensor features a wireless range of up to 330 feet (100 meters).

Fifth it will provide a self-learned unique to your location, 12 to the 24-hour weather forecast. This forecast is done by using colorful icons for sunny; partly cloudy; cloudy; rain; snow and rain/snow mix.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can it be wall mounted?
Yes, but It is concave in the back with a slight curvature which really restricts wall mounting.

Also, this particular model is very hard to read from any distance.

Can you switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit temperatures?

Yes, go to settings/tools click F until C appears

Can you adjust the pressure?

It is my understanding there is no ‘adjustment’ you can make to the barometer reading. The unit will settle down in the first month to reading within +/- .01-.02 usually.

You can compare the readings to a National Weather station located near you as a guide of its accuracy.

What is the coldest temp it can display?

The temperature range for this model is -40 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit; -40 to 70 degrees Celsius for the sensor and the indoor temperature range is 32 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit; 0 to 50 degrees Celsius.

What size of batteries does it use?

Uses 3 “AA” batteries in the base unit and 2 “AA” batteries in the outdoor sensor.

Is this atomic time or do you have to set it each time?

It’s atomic time

Does It come with a power cord? and if so how long is the AC adapter cord?

It is 4 feet long

Description of the AcuRite 02077RM

  • This weather station from AcuRite, the AcuRite 02077RM has the patented self-calibrating technology that has been used for a few years now.
  • This very interesting technology provides an accurate; personalized forecast of 12 to 24-hour weather conditions.
  • The unit also possesses a built-in Intelli-Time clock which you will find will work well for you because it updates itself and even accounts for daylight savings time on its own.
  • It’s pre-programmed with the correct time and date
  • The outdoor sensor has powerful wireless technology and is found to be housed in a weather-resistant construction and an integrated hanger for easy mounting.
  • The color weather station display stands upright for tabletop use or is wall-mountable. So either way, you will find the perfect spot as a home for your AcuRite 02077RM.

Power Source

This weather station comes with a 4 foot AC/DC adapter power cord as a backup. It also works on batteries.

Lithium batteries are suggested for the outside sensor and regular batteries for the display unit which is inside use.

The batteries needed are “AA” sized batteries, 2 are needed for the sensor, and 3 are needed for the display.

Pros

✅ Colored Display
✅ Can be either wall-mounted or sets on a desk
✅ Sensor can be set up up to 300 feet away
✅ Provides a 12-24 hour forecast
✅ Has icons that show the moon phase you are currently in
✅ High/low-temperature alerts that you can set

Cons for Purchasing the AcuRite 02077RM

❌ Backlight doesn’t stay on very long
❌ Numbers are difficult to read from severe angles
❌ Colored screen is dual (it’s in two parts) so sometimes the numbers from the angle don’t show very well at all

Pricing Contributes to Purchasing

So in looking at this model it looks as it would be a great purchase for the following types of people.

  • a newly interested weather person
  • A person who is on the run. All they need is a quick glance to get the temperature, whether it’s rainy or snowing outside right now, and then what is it going to be like in the next 12-24 hour time period.
  • A younger weather fan. While this personal weather station is a simpler one, it would make for a great learning experience and gift idea for the younger upcoming weather geek.

It is important to realize that this would not be enough of a weather station for a more sophisticated and/or advanced weather fan.

You would want to look at a more professional level type of personal weather station to satisfy that type of person.


Review Of My Decision

AcuRite 02077RM Color Weather Station with Temperature, Humidity and ForecastAcuRite 02077RM Color Weather Station with Temperature, Humidity and Forecast

So all of the AcuRite weather instruments are rated highly by owners and new purchasers. I see that many are happy owners of this AcuRite model.

They are very pleased with the craftsmanship of the station and the reliability of the parts. They do their job and they do it well.

So I would rate this model #02077RM as a 4.5-star rating. The right person will find hours of pleasure and the person should find the sensor and display to be unfailing.

AcuRite 01512 Pro Color Weather Station

AcuRite 01512 Pro Color Weather Station

A Look At The AcuRite 01512 Pro Color Weather Station

As one does more and more inspection of climate stations, they find that most manufacturers build a series of stations that are very similar to each other.

You will also find while they appear very much alike if you look much closer you can find some very interesting differences.

The AcuRite 01512 Pro Color Weather Station is similar to others we have reviewed but please allow us, to point out to you the additional features this model has for the weather lover in you.

We believe you will be intrigued as well as impressed with the AcuRite 01512 as you read this review.

We were excited about the extra features this model offers you. If you are more than a casual observer of the daily elements, we believe you will be as equally as impressed as we were.

It is our belief that people such as serious gardeners, small farmers, serious weather hobbyists, and people who love to keep historical data records of daily instruments, will be very interested in this product.

Keep reading if this is you, allow us to help you save time to guide you in your buying decision.

Type of Instruments

Let’s look at the array of scientific climate instruments the AcuRite 01512 possesses. The 5 in 1 Remote sensor is the home of the following weather instruments

  • Thermometer-outdoor & indoor readings
  • Anemometer- measures wind speed & direction
  • Rain gauge-self emptying is a tipping type of gauge. The water is continuously dumped out the bottom of the device as it is measured
  • Barometer
  • Software is not supplied, but the unit is compatible with the AcuRite Bridge unit, which you can buy as an added item

Instrument Sensors on Color Weather Station

Some features of the AcuRite 01520 remote sensor

  • Solar Cell Panel-converts sunlight into power to run the internal aspirating fan
  • Draws ambient air into sensor to reduce solar radiation heating, resulting in more accurate temperature measurement

We are concerned about the solar sensor getting enough energy to operate the fan properly. When placing this remote unit, be aware you need to collect enough sun to operate the aspirating fan, but not too much sun to cause too much heat build-up inside the unit.

This could cause the fan to not be able to keep up with keeping the temperature down enough to get a proper temperature reading. We view this as a Catch-22 type situation.

The sensors that are housed in the outdoor unit are the thermometer sensors, the anemometer, the barometric sensor, the rain gauge, and the relative humidity sensor.

As you read through our review of the AcuRite 01512, please look for our mention of our other articles that can be used as supplements to this review.

Such things as sensor placement are extremely important to successfully use your weather station.

AcuRite 01512 Weather Station

Please remember that it is very important to study out our information on where to set up your location for the remote display.

You must read this great post on mounting your remote sensors for remote sensor locating, both how and where to do it.

Type of Transmission

  • Wireless 433 MHz
  • Transmission schedule as the following
  • Wind Speed: 18-second updates
  • Wind Direction: 36-second updates
  • Temperature and Humidity: 36-second updates limits on transmission

Display

This is a list of display-provided alert indicators that we really liked. Many of these are not part of lessor expensive models from AcuRite but are part of this model.


  • Wind Speed Alert indicator activates when the wind speed is over 50 mph.
  • Rainfall Alert Indicator indicates rainfall of more than 1″ (25mm) of rain in 2 hrs. or less
  • Storm alert indicator activates when the barometric pressure drops
  • AUTO DIM Indicator-indicates display is in auto-dimming brightness mode
  • Heat Index/ Wind Chill Alert Indicator-activates when heat index rises over 90ºF (32ºC) or when the wind chill drops below -17ºF (-27ºC)

As you can see, these cover a variety of related areas, that any big fan of climate elements would find very useful to them.

Being a big fan and an active weather station user, I would find the storm alert indicator to be great, for those busy days where you kind of forget about the weather.

A bad weather storm alert would definitely save your backside. I believe my other favorite, is the rain alert, which can really help you prepare for any possible flooding.

Preventing flood damage could save you thousands of dollars. Very cool indeed.

Take A Further Look

For a good insightful look at how the display unit is set up, and some of the common features between this and the AcuRite 01036 go here to read this information. The two models are very similar in many areas.

The Backlighting Feature

The backlighting on the display is very popular with this model. We love being able to see the display clearly at all angles.

The larger size, the brilliant colors, and the backlighting make this model a winner. Many high marks to AcuRite for their design. Here is some information for you.


This weather station’s color display features three different lighting settings:
High (100%) brightness, Medium (60%) brightness and Low (30%) brightness.

While it is wonderful to give you these settings, one complaint you need to be aware of is that the backlighting (at night) can be too bright for some customers. When the brightness is even set at 30%, it is still very bright for the likeness of some owners.

When the display is only on battery power, the display setting backlight is only on for ten seconds. We don’t believe this isn’t long enough to digest everything displayed to view. Many customer complaints bear this out to be true.

We think you would like for the backlight to be on longer than only ten seconds when you hit the backlight button. We believe this is to conserve battery power when using.

2-acurite-01512It is our belief as well that reaching for the backlight button every time is a possible irritant to some, and to others, Well they just wouldn’t put up with this at all.

Highlighting the Rainfall Gauge

As I wrote this review I came across this very interesting tidbit, did you know this about the rainfall information collected?

Rainfall tracking on the 01512, is done by the remote sensor & display unit in unison. This station also features enhanced tracking of historical rainfall data.

Rain accumulation data is recorded for today, all-time (overall) accumulation figures, measurements for the year, the monthly rainfall totals, and then a one-time rainfall event amount measure.

Press the “RAINFALL” button to review rainfall records. The icon is shown
on the display while historical data is being viewed. Records are shown in the following order:

  • PREVIOUS RAINFALL #1*
  • PREVIOUS RAINFALL #2*
  • PREVIOUS RAINFALL #3*
  • CURRENT MONTH TOTAL RAINFALL
  • PREVIOUS MONTH TOTAL RAINFALL
  • 2 MONTHS AGO TOTAL RAINFALL
  • CURRENT YEAR TOTAL RAINFALL
  • PREVIOUS YEAR TOTAL RAINFALL
  • ALL-TIME TOTAL RAINFALL (date shown is the start date of the all-time total

The Weather Ticker

A really neat thing about this AcuRite model is that it has the trade-marked Weather Ticker feature. This is the continuous flow of information that runs along the bottom of your (in-home) display unit.

The “Ticker” automatically flashes your real-time weather information
and alerts as text in the lower part of the display screen. Here is the list of messages that can be shown.

  • HEAT INDEX
  • WINDCHILL
  • DEW POINT
  • IT FEELS LIKE XX OUTSIDE
  • 7 DAY HIGH TEMP-MM/DD
  • 7 DAY LOW TEMP-MM/DD
  • 30 DAY HIGH TEMP-MM/DD
  • 30 DAY LOW TEMP-MM/DD
  • ALL-TIME HIGH TEMP-RECORDED MM/DD/YY
  • ALL-TIME LOW TEMP-RECORDED MM/DD/YY
  • 24 HOUR TEMP. CHANGE +XX
  • ALL-TIME HIGH WIND XX MPH…RECORDED MM/DD/YY
  • 7 DAY AVERAGE WIND XX MPH
  • TODAY’S AVERAGE WIND XX MPH
  • MOON- NEW
  • MOON- WAXING CRESCENT
  • MOON- FIRST QUARTER
  • MOON- WAXING GIBBOUS
  • MOON- FULL
  • MOON- WANING GIBBOUS
  • MOON- LAST QUARTER
  • MOON- WANING CRESCENT
  • INDOOR HUMIDITY OK
  • INDOOR HUMIDITY HIGH
  • INDOOR HUMIDITY LOW
  • NEW LOW TEMP. RECORD XX
  • NEW HIGH TEMP. RECORD XX
  • NEW WIND RECORD TODAY XX
  • CURRENT RAINFALL X.XX/HR.
  • RAIN EVENT STARTED XX HRS. AGO
  • SENSOR BATTERIES LOW
  • DISPLAY BATTERIES LOW
  • SENSOR SIGNAL LOST…CHECK BATTERIES AND PLACEMENT
  • CAUTION- HEAT INDEX IS XXX
  • CAUTION- WIND CHILL IS XX

It is my concern that you can’t change any part of this. Say as an example, maybe you don’t want all of this information showing all the time. Can you edit or delete some of the information titles if you don’t want that information? The answer is that you can’t edit the Ticker at all.

Accuracy

Here are the accuracy ratings for the display unit.

Indoor temperature 32 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit; 0 to 50 degrees Celsius
Temperature accuracy +/- 2 degrees Fahrenheit

Indoor humidity range 1% to 99% Relative Humidity

Wind direction indicators 16 points are shown

Humidity accuracy

  • +/- 5% from 0% to 10% Relative Humidity
  • +/- 4% from 10% to 20% Relative Humidity
  • +/- 3% from 20% to 80% Relative Humidity
  • +/- 4% from 80% to 90% Relative Humidity
  • +/- 5% from 90% to 100% Relative Humidity

Now let’s take a look at the remote sensor and outdoor ratings.

Outdoor temperature range -40 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit; -40 to 70 degrees Celsius

Wind Speed 0 to 99 mph; 0 to 159 kph

Acurite 01512 Software


AcuRite 09150 smartHUB with My AcuRite Remote Monitoring AppAcuRite 09150 smartHUB with My AcuRite Remote Monitoring App

The software for the AcuRite 01520 will have to be purchased outside of what comes with this station.

The remote sensor transmits data regularly to the display station inside.

That is the extent of software that is involved with this model. For anything else, you will need to make an outside purchase.

The AcuRite 09150 AcuLink Internet Bridge is what is recommended to work with your data stream’s transmission to the display unit in your house.

With this AcuLink Internet-Bridge, you are able to do several things. You can remotely monitor information from your station unit.


  • You can follow your data stream anywhere, whether it would be your smartphone, your i-pad or your computer
  • Publishes data online from up to 3 compatible AcuRite sensors. These sensors are the sensors on the 01520, that are transmitting the data to your display
  • Please note that you are able to purchase another individual (not Included) remote weather sensors online to use with this bridge
  • You can track indoor temperature, outdoor temperature, indoor humidity, outdoor humidity, wind, rain, atmospheric pressure, through the sensors your AcuRite station possesses
  • This bridge is connected to the internet and then allows the bridge to talk to either your portable devices via an app or you may access the data through the acurite.com website

AcuRite 09150 smartHUB with My AcuRite Remote Monitoring AppAcuRite 09150 smartHUB with My AcuRite Remote Monitoring App

Very important to note that you will need to have an ethernet cable so that you may connect it directly to the internet connection you have. The internet needs to be hooked into the bridge 24/7, this is very important.

The data may also be shared with weather-sharing communities like Weather Underground.

When using the bridge, you can also share your information with other users of Aculink.com.acurite-01512.

You can set up email and text alerts when any changes have activated the alerts on your station’s display.

There isn’t a fee for these bridge-provided services. No monthly fees ever!

Dimensions

Display

Remote Sensor

10.8” Height x 5.6” Width x 13.8” Depth

How Powered

The display uses a 4.5V power adapter, which is included in your purchase. Using the power cord adapter is recommended for optimal display color.

The display unit also uses 6 “AA” alkaline batteries. Not necessary but optional, and note as well that batteries are not included by the manufacturer.

The power brick is approximately 1 1/4″ x 2 1/2 and sticks out about 1 1/2” from the wall. The power cord is also around 6 feet long.

The remote sensor uses 4 “AA” alkaline batteries or if you choose, Lithium batteries. In colder climates, it is highly recommended that you would use lithium batteries.

Lithium batteries work much better in colder climates. They also hold their power charge much longer than a conventional battery would.

This will allow you to spend less time charging the batteries, as well as less expensive in the long run.

Consumer Ratings

As I spent time digesting all of the information on the AcuRite 01512 model, I was amazed at the similarities to the other model I have reviewed. This unit possesses all the great things that we loved about that display. This model has additional bells and whistles.

The added alerts, the added information provided on the weather ticker, plus the automatic emptying rain gauge more than make up for the additional cost of the unit. They add for added interest and fun in using this station.

We believe that this unit deserves a 4.5 star rating from us.

It has all the AcuRite features and a big plus on the features. Now there is so much more information being provided. more to record, more to track, more to help you with understanding your daily climate elements.

The amazingly strong overall ratings are backed up by our research. This is a very solid station for the avid fan of daily climate elements. So if you consider yourself, a geek, an avid fan, an enthusiastic participant, or a long-time admirer, we believe you would be very satisfied with this model.

But if you find yourself as a casual observer, a hurried seeker of daily weather information, or even, just a person who may need information for occasional special events.

If that is you, would be wasting your money on this unit. You would be receiving way too many things to look at, too many things you don’t care about, or you just want a couple of simple things provided.

In a nutshell a very solid choice for the informed person, who has a need for such information. We like to study and analyze this would be very enjoyable to us.

AcuRite 01512 Price

This AcuRite 01512, is very reasonably priced for the consumer. After looking at all of the features this model offers, I find that this would be a highly recommended purchase for serious weather fan. I am talking about the person, who loves to look at what is going on outside all the time.

Many people talk about the daily weather in passing. Many do it as a topic of conversation, usually because they have nothing else to talk about.

That is not the person I am talking about. I am referring to the person who loves to look at temperature data, wind speeds, and barometric pressure readings.

The person, who keeps daily records of all types of instrument readings. The person who will spend ten minutes analyzing a weather report.

That is me. If that is you, you will love the AcuRite 01512.

But if you are looking for a display unit that provides time, temperature, a future forecast, and maybe the wind speed this model is not for you.

The cost for all of the features wouldn’t be worth it to you. You do not need all of that information, nor would you ever use it.

We can recommend other stations for you that are much simpler, and very easy to use, plus they would be exactly what you were looking for at the price you would be fine with spending money for.

These are two well-received models we could recommend for the casual weather observer.

If you are an avid information seeker and love to study wind speeds, wind directions, and find yourself stuck looking at bad weather events, then you will very pleased with the AcuRite 01512 as a choice to purchase.
