What is a Home Weather Station?

What Does a Home Weather Station Measure?

Depending on the model, a typical home weather station tracks temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind speed and direction, and barometric pressure. Some models may also track UV and solar radiation.

All of this data is captured in real-time and displayed on an indoor display or mobile application, so you always know exactly what's happening outside.

How Does It Work?

Sensors are installed outdoors—usually mounted on a pole, fence, or rooftop—where they collect environmental data. That information is transmitted wirelessly to an indoor display or synced with an app like AcuRite NOW or My AcuRite, so you can monitor conditions from your phone, tablet, or smart home system.
