My Thoughts: 


The advances of technology in this day and age are truly mind blowing. It amazes me what else we are able to gain access to every day. My AcuRite has brought a state of the art treat for families. If you love weather as well as have an interest in home care, this is for you!

When it comes to monitoring your home, AcuRite has truly outdone itself. Everything you could desire and need for tracking is right there in front of you. There is also an app, so you can monitor on the go. Everything about this system was user friendly, and connecting was an ease. It picked up on a multitude of information pretty quickly. I'd find myself looking throughout the day to see updates. 

One of my favorite features has to be the allergen tracker and humidity information. As someone who has severe allergies, this is wonderful for prevention. I also love the twelve hour trend chart, as my dad works outdoors. It's a great help for him. Who could resist the fact his helps with energy costs as well, saving families a lot of money in the long run as AcuRite makes sure everything is flowing efficiently, and nothing is acting up within the home. The fact you can get updates of everything from the wind speeds to the need for some outdoor watering is just incredible!1  There are so many options for every need!

Thank you very much to AcuRite for allowing me to try this incredible system! I am so thankful. It has brought wonderful benefits to my home and family! I would highly recommend this to any household who is desiring to keep track of not only temperatures, but the way your overall home is running.
