AcuRite Notos (00589MCB) Weather Station with Color Display

I bike to work on days that isn't too cold nor rainy. So I wanted a device next to my bed when I wake up and quickly check the temp and weather condition. I was going to get the simple device with just the outdoor thermometer. Well this on eis on sale for the same price and had a wind measuring device so that was better. ALso this model has a better screen then the simplier one. Goods: + great for the price I got it at. Also I got another one as a Christmas present. + seem to be well built well, even the wind outdoor therometer was built pretty good. + setup was easy and it sync instantly. I have mine on the 3rd floor and it is outside in my back yard so the range is fine. + outdoor temp is on pair with accurate weather website I checked the city I live in, exact number. Indoor I think it might be 2 degrees higher compared to my house thermometer. + screen looks nice, but it is just led on a color background that doesn't change. + good dimming mode. It dim the led brightness per the time range (you can read the manual for that). It doens't have a light sensor, which I thought per term auto dim, but I did read the manual and it is time range). Issues: - Outdoor wind speed is very low if you place it low to the ground. You need to place it as high as you can. - led viewing angle, you need to be above it to see it. My is placed above me when I sleep so I can't read it when laying down. pending: currently it is still learning (they say 14 days), but I see it is producing some graphic of what is happening. I will see how accurate this gets. Overall for the price it is a great product. The wind speed is low as I don't have a higher mount to place it on. Also I didn't install the backup battery, don't care if it lose data of last month. But you do need 4 AA batteries for the wind outdoor thermometer.

Trouble getting parts. I had it 15 feet above my roof, ziptied the pole it was on to my house and one very windy night the pole and all crashed down. I tried to replace the wind device that spins around and could not. I was able to purchase the cuppy thing for a differant model, glued it on with E6000 glue. I'm not sure it'll work, have to see tomorrow. Also temperature guage kept saying 44°. I put in 4 new $26.00 Lithium batteries for the outside unit. It gets cold here in Oregon, USA. Now the temperature guage works but not the wind, yet. I'm good with jerry-rigging. We still have DST here so I gave up trying to correct the clock. I use another bigger clock. Very easy to set up, I was younger then. I need to set it back on the pvc pole, this time with more 1/4" zipties. The photo shows 36°, finally correct. 69° is correct for indoor temperature. Again, be sure to use Lithium AA batteries for the outside unit if your area gets cold.

Bought this as a replacement for an older unit that was in our winter home when we bought it. I like the color display, very easy to read. We bought the black with silver trim. Set up was fast and easy. The only thing that is not correct on this is the weather in the bottom middle panel. Since this is in our Arizona winter home and humidity is low and temps are hotter, I think it may confuse the unit as to what it is really doing outside some days. I like the wind speed indicator. It shows wind speeds and gusts and records them for the last 30 minutes showing the strongest wind speed. We have this sitting on our end table with the included stand in the living room and the bright display is always just a peek away. Large easy to read numbers, which is great for us. High-precision 3-in-1 wireless weather sensor accurately measures the temperature, humidity and wind speed Daily, monthly and all-time high and low records, History chart displays temperature, wind speed and barometric pressure trends over last 12 hours Illuminated color display with adjustable dimmer; electric-powered with optional battery backup.Easy setup and mounting. We are very pleased with the ease of set up, just wish the weather indicator was accurate all the time, hence the 4 star review.

This is my third unit of this brand . This one is for camper and it works very well . Easy to set up . Original unit on old home and have 2nd unit on permanent home . There not cheap but I know they are reliable so I’ve stayed with this brand .

Great addition to the household. Accurate. Fun!

If I could give it zero stars, I would. This was the second one of these we purchased because the first one stopped working. Should have known better... it wasn't a fluke. Love the features that it's supposed to offer, but they don't work. The temperature rarely moves, and the wind speed is never accurate. We tried all of the instructions, including resetting it and changing the batteries. Total waste of money!

I've been looking for a weather forecaster that is easy to use and one that I could find the information I wanted quickly. I just got this unit and love it so far. I didn't have to even read the instructions to set it up...it's very intuitive...just put the batteries in both parts and the color display showed the information within a minute. The wind feature is nice as well. I compared the temperature readings to another thermometer I have, and it seems to be close to that as well. It comes with an electric adapter that allows the color display to be on all the time. It looks like there are 3 settings for brightness along with an auto adjusting function...but I like the bright setting on all the time.

This works great... Bought it 5 years ago and still no problems. I run the main unit on the DC power plug. The sensor is on top of a pergola and I put lithium batteries in it and *still* haven't had to change them... been running on the same batteries for 5 years. The only thing that doesn't seem super accurate is the wind speed. It measures about half of what it really is, but, it could be because It's not super high in the air. Updated 2024: It finally died. 9 years of reliable service. I bought this for about $80 nine years ago, so it was well worth the money for what I ended up getting. In the 9 years I never had to change the batteries once on the outside unit. The energizer lithium batteries I originally bought lasted all this time. Unfortunately, I am going to get a different unit now. I have no idea why they basically doubled the price since I first bought it. I get it: the economy, but there are no new features. Better options out there for cheaper.

Todo : su fácil instalación, su tecnología

Great unit. Replaced old unit damaged during ice storm. Now I have 2 displays, one for sunroom and one for living room. My only complaint is there is no humidex reading. There is a reading showing the wind chill factor (outdoor temp 30C and humidity at 75% and wind chill reads 30C). Not sure if that is right, old display shows 36 degrees humidex.

Was really easy to set up, works like a charm. The screen is very bright but can be dimmed. It has to be plugged in and also has battery as backup for the unit. Had it in a corner first and noticed inside temperature was off 1 degree but as soon as we moved it out of the corner temperature was good. The only complaint I have is that you have to been standing directly in front of the screen to read it, Was an excellent buy and I would recommend it to anyone.

This is a great weather station. Like the memory function so you can review the months weather and the all time stats. It’s nice and has colourful display that makes it easy to read all the relevant wether I go inside and out. The wind meter is worth the effort as it will give you wind chill effect which is very helpful in winter like climates, such as mine. Would be nice to have wind direction but not really necessary as it tends to swirl around in urban environments anyway. Make sure you get good lithium batteries for the outdoor sensor so they don’t freeze is really cold temperatures. Overall I’m very happy with this product. Good purchase!

Love this product, it does exactly what I bought it for, backyard weather station. I have it mounted on my roof and it have excellent reception to the receiver. I really enjoy the trend monitoring options that it shows. My only criticism is that the display needs to be read at a specific angle or it’s faint and difficult to read.
