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.

My Thoughts

I got the opportunity to try the Color Weather Station. This was easy to set up. It was pretty much straight from the box and ready to use. It didn't come with batteries, so I had to put two double A into the white part that goes outside. The weather station connected to it without problem and began to detect the temperature.

I'm still working on finding the right place  for the sensor because in the middle of the afternoon when the sun is beating on it, it tells me at times is 120 degrees outside and it's really only about 85. I think once I find the right place for it, then that will solve that problem.

For the most part, the center part with the clouds stay accurate to what the weather is outside. There have been a few times I've seen rain in the center but it was sunny outside, however, moisture could have been in the air. I'm not quite sure how the sensor picks up what it's doing outside.

Over all, I really like this. I like the bright colors of this, being able to monitor the temperature in my house and outside. Having the phase of the moon is always a neat feature to watch. I'm not sure if it's accurate yet, as we had a full moon on Friday and currently only half the the moon is colored. We just finished the initial 14 day set-up period, so I will keep an eye on it to see if it straightens out.
