The detector features a compact, weather-resistant design and integrated mounting options. The lightning detector can wirelessly send lightning, temperature, and humidity data readings to compatible AcuRite weather stations (sold separately). the replacement lightning detector with temperature and humidity sensors is for use with AcuRite models: 01021, 01021M, 01022, 01022M, 02080, 06046, 06047, 06047M, 06058M.

When it alarms, you'll be looking around for what is making that noise. Then you realize it is giving you a heads up for rainy weather. You start to get a little to complacent if you aren't careful! It's a wonderful warning to have!

This lightning detector works quite well. Unfortunately it works too well. When is senses lightning it gives off a little beep , which unfortunately it scares one of my dogs so badly that he would rather sit outside in a thunderstorm than listen to it.

I have to say that even though this does detect lightning and notifies you with an audible beep, it only beeps for ten lightning strikes. If no lightning is detected for two hours then the beeps will resume. It also has a red light that flashes too but it seems to sometimes flash when no lightning is around...like on a sunny day. I like it but i dont love it.

Bought this to replace one that was failing after 6 years in the weather. Easily paired to my AcuRite monitor and it sees the lightning we get here. I'm near Tampa Bay so 400 to 600 strikes can happen in a day. I put lithium batteries in it as they will last much longer.

This connected to my AcuRite weather station easily, and now tells me how many recent lightening strikes I've had and how far away the last was.NOTE: do not use this anywhere near a microwave oven, it can sense the start and stop of the oven as lightening strikes.And, I had one of these sensors before that I hung from a tree limb and it stopped working after a couple of months. So this one, I bought one of the AcuRite solar shields, so we will see if this one lasts longer.Note about the solar shield: it is priced WAY too high, more than the cost of this sensor, BUT it occasionally goes on sale for $10 to $15 less.

What a hunk of junk! This device will continuously and randomly start and stop transmitting -- and this is the second unit to do this! When it's working, it reports roughly once a minute. When it's not working? Once an hour, *maybe*. And this isn't wireless interference, as my weather station (a few feet from it) is clocking in reliably -- THIS PRODUCT JUST SUCKS OUT LOUD! Should be discontinued by acurite!

Was painless to set up on Acurite Hub. Do not put in full sun. Find a shady place or temp will be off buy a lot. Very senseative to electric things. A cell phone or wifi will set it off. Even a cordless drill driving a screw made a strike. After a found a place out out the sun outside and away from anything that would cause any interference it works very well. I knew going in a would have to find a place it would work. I am pleased with it.

I use this as a standalone temperature and humidity sensor that I query with a Nooelec SDR (software defined radio) and rtl_433 software. Signal strength reliable and appears error free. I use it to track and record temperature and humidity in a vacation home ~2500 miles from my primary home. I ssh into a linuxmint server at my vacation home and scan the json logs that I record on that server. Just bought two more units to implement a similar setup in my primary home for use when I am at my vacation home.

I live in Costa Rica and we've recently entered the rainy season which = many lightning storms. The device seems to work fine, signaling detection on strikes we don't see (detection up to 40 miles). It has registered 100s of strikes. During our dry season when it does not rain at all (Dec to April) the device did not register any strikes at all, so I'm assuming that means it's functioning correctly.

Confirmed. It really does detect lightning. Not perfectly, of course, but enough to alert significant proximity starting with about a 25 mile radius. Furthest one detected so far is about 22 miles away (according to counting seconds while waiting for thunder).There's also a companion display for this ... Model 06047 ... Turns out the sensor is not just an independent lightning detector, it's also a Humidity-Temp sensor replacement for an entire lightning & rain themed weather station. Cool, eh?Radio Interference Issues:You really do need to pay attention to the interference indicator. Not just for first-time installation, but afterwards as well. In todays modern world with everything going wireless and things causing electrical noise, it's nearly impossible to find an absolute radio silent place to put this detector. The main thing is you want the most interference-free zone you can find for this detector's new home.Indoor uses is a no brainer and you can pretty much figure out what the interference source is and make relocation adjustments.Outdoor uses is another can of worms. You might need to do a lot of experimenting for a week or two while finding an official location for it, and even then you might still pickup some light occasional radio interference that's very infrequent, but acceptable.
