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

Work well, long battery life

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.

Worked as promised

It lasts for years, this is my second one after about 10 years

I bought this as a replacement for the AcuRite Wireless Sensor I bought over 15yrs ago. It was worth the purchase over buying a whole new weather system. I also bought the cover for it to help keep it out of the elements. Here in Michigan, our weather can go through some extreme changes and sometimes some rough conditions.

I took a chance and ordered this as my remotes did not survive the Florida environment. Acurite is not kidding when they state the remote sending unit should not be exposed to rain. This worked for my model 6036. Apparently, the 6024 display is similar so these remote sending units should work for that model as well. Installation went OK. But you will need the manual for the display as the method for recognizing the new sending unit is not intuitive. Search the Internet if you dont have a copy and save the copy! You might consider ordering a spare unit. I am.

Works Perfectly as connected with the indoor terminal without issue.

Great replacement

Purchased 4 units to monitor humidity in crawlspace and attic. 2 of the units are off by -6% in humidity 1 unit is off by -4% humidity 1 unit is off by -8% humidity I calibrated these using the salt/water 24 hour method and a total of 6 units. One of the units was a more expensive (50$ sensor) from another brand that swears by their accuracy and sure enough that was the one unit that got exactly 75% humidity after 24 hours. These...not so much. These are probably mass-produced and not given a second thought on calibration. Thankfully for my use case (home assistant) I can set an offset.

Works well
