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

I recently gifted this to my mother-in-law, and it's safe to say she absolutely loves it.She uses it all the time and has even confessed that she can't go outside without checking the outside temperature on the display first.The color LCD screen makes it easy to read, and the temperature/humidity sensor is accurate and reliable.Overall, it's been a fantastic addition to her home, and I'm so glad I chose this as a gift for her. Highly recommend!

Llevo usando este instrumento 28 dias (AcuRite modelo 02074/02077). Le doy 5 estrellas no porque sea perfecto sino porque estoy satisfecho con el y lo recomendaria con gusto a cualquier amigo. Lo primero que me sorprendio fue que la fecha y la hora se ajustaron correctamente apenas le puse las pilas (solo hay que ingresar la zona horaria y si el tiempo de verano esta en efecto). No se de donde tomo la informacion pero estuvo muy bien (Intelli-Time Clock). Los sensores son precisos y faciles de calibrar. El sensor exterior funciona muy bien. La señal atraviesa dos paredes desde mi patio hasta mi escritorio y la señal es la mas fuerte. La pantalla es facil de leer, aunque hay que verla un poco desde arriba, porque a nivel de ojo pierde nitidez. La brillantez de la pantalla se puede ajustar a tres niveles, pero el nivel mas bajo es del 30% de brillantez y si colocas la base dentro de una recamara chica, la luz todavia es muy brillante y no deja dormir bien. Seria bueno que pusieran un cuarto nivel de brillantez que fuera Brillantez = OFF. Algo que definitivamente no funciona bien es el pronostico del tiempo (Weather Forecast). Ya pasaron los 14 dias de Learning Mode, mas otros 14 dias (pues el manual dice que se sigue calibrando por un total de 33 dias). Todos los dias despues del medio dia marca lluvia con rayos aunque aqui en mi ciudad hemos tenido cielos despejados los ultimos 30 dias. Tal vez use la calibracion manual de la presion barometrica a ver si con eso funciona mejor. Aunque el instrumento se puede usar con pilas, AcuRite recomienda insistentemente que se conecte a una fuente de corriente usando el adaptador de corriente que viene incluido. Esto limita bastante donde colocar el instrumento dentro de tu casa.

This is a very nice weather station. Once you get it set up the way you want it, it performs well. It has almost all the features that I wanted, and they all work as advertised. The temperature readings are accurate, as is the barometric pressure (see below). I never pay much attention to the humidity readings, as those sensors are subject to all sorts of variations (However, after many months of ownership, I find that the humidity readings are helpful, if not perfectly accurate). The only negative that I can think of is that it is not possible to set the clock to the 24-hour format. I like to use the 24-hour format, even though I'm in the USA, but for most users this would not be an issue.Here are some other things that potential buyers might want to know:1) Setting up most of the features is not particularly difficult, but manually setting up the barometric pressure is a bit of a challenge. Many people won't care about that, but I do. I wanted to set it to the reading at our local airport, and it took me about 15 minutes to get it right. The procedure is addressed in the manual, but it could be explained a little more clearly. (The unit does have a 14-day "learning period" during which, I assume, it's supposed to eventually automatically detect the barometric pressure. I neither wanted to wait, nor did I trust this feature to get it right, so I switched from "automatic" to "manual" to set it myself.)2) The display is very clear and colorful IF IT IS BELOW EYE LEVEL. The more it is above eye level, the more washed out it will be. In other words, you want to place this weather station where you will be looking down at it.3) It is unrealistic to expect devices like this to actually forecast the weather. This is tough enough for supercomputers to accomplish. If you want a real weather forecast, go to a weather website or watch the Weather Channel.4) While the literature never explicitly says so, I believe that the time-date function is tuned to the National Bureau of Standards atomic clock [after months of ownership, I have concluded that this is not so; the clock runs just a little bit fast and has to be manually reset]. There is a separate button battery to power this function, which is why the time and date are correct right out of the box. Of course, you do have to set the time zone and whether or not daylight saving time is used in your area.5) The product information clearly says that this unit is designed to be plugged in. Do not expect it to be otherwise. The batteries are only for back-up in case of a power failure. Be sure to put in the three AAs so you don't lose all your settings if the power goes out or you have to unplug the unit.6) Read the manual.

Me gustó tiene buena precisión en todo materiales de buena calidad

When you wanna know what may happen at your residence versus your neighbourhood, this little sensor is pretty good. This is our third monitor. We have one in our bedroom, on but our patio, and he gave another as a gift. I will note that this newer model is a bit smaller and a bit dimmer that is predecessor, but other than that, we really like it.
