AcuRite Wireless Indoor Outdoor Temperature and Humidity Sensor (06002M) , white

After years of use the old sensor stopped working.

This was a replacement for the original wireless sensor Model No. 00592TX that came with an AcuRite Deluxe Weather Center Model No. 01099 which they no longer make. The old unit was working just fine; but was looking rather weather- worn so I decided to replace it. I also ordered AcuRites Solar Radiation Shield sold here on Amazon which offers protection from the sun to give more accurate temperature and humidity readings. It should also provide protection from the rain/snow although its not advertised that way. Its very nice!!!!! (My old sensor always showed warmer temps in the summer by 15 or more degrees compared to other outdoor thermometers I had. So I put new batteries in the new Sensor, snapped into the place for it in the Shield, and hung it outside in the same place. However, no signal bars were showing on the inside display. The manual says maybe it would take 20 minutes to synchronize when the batteries were changed. I waited 30 minutes - still no signal bars. So I took the batteries out of the display and reinstalled them. Now I had signal bars; however, the display unit went into the 14 day learning mode!

Would buy again! Working great!

I would think anyone using these devices would understand that accuracy is not going to be perfect. Yes the basic units will read different sometimes right next to each other. So many variables. Simply a tad of shade or for example a piece of rebar under a concrete slab under one sensor but not the other can make a difference. For me the place I work lost a lot of food when a circuit breaker tripped on our ice cream freezers, I now have a 7 sensor system to cover coolers and freezers. Do I really care if the temp is off one or two degrees, not really. I only care to know that the temperature is rising. One alert set for 18F and another at 26F. The 18F is early warning and the 28F says get your but over and see what is happening. Bottom line for personal use do you really need to know if the outside temp is 95 vs 97? If you have a mission critical use for these devices you should probably be spending close to or over $1000 for a system if your business needs to be that precise. Even mechanical wire thermometers side by side can read different. This even includes Taylor food thermometers. For perfect accuracy get something that works with mercury.

We needed a new sensor/remote for our AcuRite weather station (old one had finally broke). Put in the batteries, made sure it was set on the same channel as the station, and voila! We have a weather station that’s working again. Much cheaper than buying a brand new station, and I was concerned if this new sensor would work correctly. This new sensor has both temp & humidity readings on it, but the old one didn’t have either of those. Still worked just fine with the older station.

A great replacement when the old one was lost

works good like to keep track of this Texas temperatures.

The original AcuRite weather station sensor stopped working and a whole new weather station was almost $100. Figured I had nothing to lose trying this replacement. Put in batteries (not included), let it sit next to the base station for 30 minutes and all was synched. Works like a charm! Very happy.

This replaced my lost transmitter for 02022-RX. Works great.

Works well
