Whether you’re a weather enthusiast, a smart-home pro, or just want to make more informed decisions about your surroundings, the AcuRite Optimus Weather Sensor brings you the weather information you need for the life you lead! This compact outdoor sensor records data in your backyard and relays it to a Wi-Fi HD Display (06188M; sold separately).

Stop trusting unreliable weather apps and vague forecasts and start getting hyperlocal weather information from your own backyard delivered to your in-home display or fingertips on your mobile device. The AcuRite Optimus measures precise temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind speed, and wind direction measurements and senses lightning strikes within 25 miles of your location. The low-profile design of the outdoor sensor brings a high-tech look to any outside space and satisfies strict apartment or HOA rules. 

The AcuRite Optimus enhances your smart-home setup by seamlessly integrating with many connected smart-home devices. Ask your existing device to read aloud your Optimus-recorded data or set up custom rules to better manage weather-dependent tasks like watering the lawn or garden. Utilize the AcuRite NOW app to stay even more connected with your hyperlocal environment. Check conditions, view historical data trends, and receive weather alerts directly on your phone using the AcuRite NOW app — especially helpful for monitoring while you’re away. Note: the Wi-Fi HD Display (06188M; sold separately) is needed to view your weather data on the AcuRite NOW app.

The AcuRite Optimus outdoor sensor is powered by four (4) AA batteries (not included) or an AcuRite Solar Power Pack (06051M; sold separately). This ultra-durable weather station is built with automotive-grade materials and comes with a limited lifetime warranty. Receive professional-level weather reporting inside your home with an AcuRite Optimus.
