Home Weather Station

[Drucifer]

Now that screens have finally gotten colorized and with outside equipment being wifi, I figure I'll look into getting a simple setup.

Any recommendations?

How is AcuRite?

I'm looking at their Pro Color Weather Station with Wind Speed 00622 or even the simpler Color Weather Station 02022

Better than Oregon Scientific? Gotta be better than La Crosse.

They don't seem to have color.

I went with the

AcuRite 00622

For $50 total

I have had the 2016 for about a year and like it fine with one exception... The backlight causes the indoor temp to read about 3 degrees to high. I wanted it for the outdoor temp so doesn't really bother me.

I have the 2032C , color display, wifi; and I love it. Bought it at Costco recently for about / around $ 75.00. The only thing that I had problems with is that where I mounted it on the peak of the garage roof it ended up being to close to the roof line. I made my own pipe extension using a double 3/4 inch pvc compression fitting and 3/4 inch pvc pipe; length is your own choice. I made mine 4 feet and now it is nicely above the roof line and being it is up so high I decided to guy it on 3 radial point. We will have snow, wind and nasty weather this weekend and that should be a good acid test for the unit. I would also recommend you pay attention what they recommend for AA batteries and the temperature range. I used the lithium bats. Much success.

I purchased an Acurite model 1035 in 2012 from Costco. Black and white display, very nice unit.
Last winter as a result of an ice storm one of the cups on the wind speed indicator snapped off.
The replacement part cost $5 and shipping was almost $30 to Canada via courier.
I contacted their customer service and asked if they could ship via US Post which was a lot cheaper.
They refused to accommodate me. I guess it was out of their way to have someone take it down to the post office.

I couldn't hardly beat that re-shipping using a USPS flat rate box. With shipping to me ($5) then the USPS fee it adds up to around 55 bucks.
Might be available through a retailer close to you?? There is a Wallyworld in Niagara Falls*(??) *That looks like the nearest retailer handling Acurite.

Thanks for the tip. My wife and I are planning a shopping trip to the Niagara area real soon.
