Acurite 5 in 1 Weather Station & Smart Hub - Review & Install

[@bennettsvillescweathercam8555]

The screw on the anemometer tower (below the wind cups) is an access point for oil, to lubricate the anemometer shaft. I use light synthetic clock oil. Just a couple of drops.

Where's the link you mentioned?? What model is this please?

[@mickgatz214]

great video, but why don't the pc don't connect to the indoor unit anymore?

[@Clintwoodz]

You should coat some vaseline around the pipe below the station to prevent spiders crawling up and making cobwebs. They can't climb up vaseline. Great trick for security cameras too

[@lindarendamendetta8564]

Does this unit only measure 1 inch of rain a day ? I believe that is what the booklet reads.

[@salahbibars4523]

thanks for you important information, please I have one question: can i connect my raspberry pi and get my weather data live?

[@jennysteed5243]

" The unit should be in the house" ???? How can the display get any outside readings if the unit is inside...????

[@stevepowsinger733]

I guess this is about like the currenT model. I don’t know anything about he Smarthub thing. I read the Weather underground’s link is discontinued but don’t think I need it. I would imagine using a 10 ft pole to simply maintenance but I couldn’t see the bubble level (it is a matter of leveling the pole). Hope this is still monitored. 😎From Fla.

[@mahfl22]

It's not a self leveler, it's a level indicator, you have to level the unit yourself.

[@unboxedreviews361]

Mixed my words up on that one.

[@aldo506]

@@unboxedreviews361 How did you check the level when attaching to tower?

[@bennettsvillescweathercam8555]

High quality Lithium batteries are good for temps. -4F/-20C to + 158F.+70C. Anything above that -4F/-20C, a good (name brand) Alkaline battery is all you need. Which is good for the same +158F/+70C. They last a long, long time, over a year. Thanks for the video.

[@unboxedreviews361]

Very interesting!!!! Will certainly look into this, thank you for the information, also my two lasted longer than the weather station. (1.5ish years).

[@43wagonwheel]

The smart hub is discontinued. Mine is useless now.

[@cenniedaines3745]

i'm curious about the hanging mic between the screens. who makes that? btw very interested in weather station!

[@unboxedreviews361]

The mic itself can be found here amzn.to/2t7NZMd The stand is separate and can be found here amzn.to/2u0S2wR (or an identical version more or less).

[@cenniedaines3745]

Thank you so much for your reply!

[@jasonsmith6408]

I'm thinking Phantom powered 48v condenser mic. Nice

[@ccie8775]

Warning - AcuRite has already announced they will discontinue all support and block this smarthub device from reporting effective August 31, 2018.

[@kqwarner]

WHAT!!!!!

[@Geoffr524]

They switched from SmartHub, to AcuRite Access Hub, to allow connecting to other services, than Weather Underground. The new model is 09155M.

[@Moondog9322]

Good video. O-H!!

[@goncalogil5442]

Hello, Can you give me some help, I do not understand. The Power Adapter for smartHUB, what is the input voltage? 120v or 120-240v? Because I'm from Portugal and I'm afraid the Power Adapter does not work here and I have to buy another if that does not work. Thank you very much

[@unboxedreviews361]

+Gonçalo Gil 100-240v 60/50hz on the wall plug, the hub itself runs off 5v (adapted from the wall plug). Wall plug is a two prong plug you would find in any USA household.

[@goncalogil5442]

Thank you

[@jddr.jkindle9708]

The "tower" the Acurite was mounted on was - upside down... oops.

[@unboxedreviews361]

Not an oops, but it is indeed upside down (on purpose). Sometimes things aren't as weird as they seem.

[@just1more621]

Great info. I'm ordering one just like it.

[@Mary-had-a-lil-farm]

Glad I am not the only one that lost the paperwork/book lol. Just hung mine today.

[@wiley0714]

galvanized pipe+outdoor= Lightning! unless you're connected a lightning rod and grounded that pipe I would stay with a PVC pipe attached to it otherwise you're just asking for lightning to come through that pipe and whatever structure it's attached too.

[@unboxedreviews361]

+RainbowSixThree Enlightened true! Always ground properly when working with towers etc. (anything electrical).

[@scottyweimuller6152]

Unboxed Reviews noooo way

[@homecats1]

PVC is too flimsy. The unit would wobble to and fro. Very unstable

[@hlmmoore]

Thanks for the information. I'm thinking about getting me one of these.

[@chass5438]

Fan aspirated temp sensor.

[@davidsmith5766]

lol i bought my fz10 from xtreme in Cambridge

[@mahfl22]

They read too hot in Florida, also Lithium is only useful in cold locations.

[@unboxedreviews361]

Not true, there are other benefits to lithium batteries besides their resilience in cold climates.

[@mikebrown3185]

the thing is junk
