Now I have a full fledged weather station at my house. It syncs with AcuRiteвЂ™s smartHUB and the data can be shared as a community weather station through Weather Underground, which is a very cool feature.

The AcuRite PRO+ 5-in-1 Weather Sensor is an easy to install weather station that includes sensors for all the necessary weather data that youвЂ™d want to collect, from rain and wind, to temperature and humidity. The mobile app shows the same data just in a smaller view. The detailed view of the web client will let you drill down into graphs that show daily, weekly, monthly, year and all time data measurements. The dashboard view shows basic information for each sensor. I clicked the + sign to add the PRO+ 5-in-1 and it began showing data within minutes. Once the batteries were loaded and I placed the unit outside, I checked the devices page in my AcuRite account and noticed that it automatically detected a new device. But for review purposes, this setup worked fine. I plan to relocate it to a permanent location soon. My pseudo installation is only about 6 feet off the ground. Also, the solar panels should face south to properly orient the wind direction.

The PRO+ should be installed away from anything that could obstruct rain or wind. I found a scrap board and screwed the mounting bracket to that and then bungee tied the board to a ledge on my deck. As you can see from the image above, I kind of cheated. It can be installed on a flat surface or a steel post. The sensor comes with a mounting bracket and hardware.

The manual recommends lithium batteries, but I used alkaline batteries which probably wonвЂ™t last as long especially during the winter months. The PRO+ runs on 4 AA batteries that should last up to 2 years. Even so, it still sends / receives data just fine. With my smartHUB in the basement and the PRO+ less than 20 feet away but through a few floors and walls, the signal strength sometimes says that itвЂ™s week. The wireless range is supposed to be up to 330 feet, but that is wide open spaces. The PRO+ transmits weather data every 18 to 36 seconds via a wireless connection to a smartHUB or a wireless display.

The rain collector has a debris filter to catch seeds, leaves and other dirt that might fall and thereвЂ™s a bubble level built into the top of the unit to help with installation. It also has two solar panels that allow the sensorвЂ™s internal fan to run frequently allowing airflow to cool the housing and keep the ambient temperature readings are more accurate. runs on AC adapter (included) or 4 AA batteries (not included).TheВ PRO+ 5-in-1 Weather Sensor features a rain collector, wind speed anemometer and wind direction sensors and temperature / humidity sensors.
