AcuRite Iris 5-in-1 Professional Weather Station — Color LCD, Lightning Detection, Wireless Outdoor Sensor

The AcuRite Iris (5-in-1) is a professional-grade home weather station that wirelessly measures temperature, humidity, wind, rain, barometric pressure and nearby lightning, then displays hyperlocal data on a color LCD.

Designed for homeowners, hobby meteorologists and outdoor enthusiasts, this all-in-one system bundles anemometer, rain gauge, wind vane, hygrometer and thermometer into one wireless outdoor sensor array that reports to a tabletop or wall-mount display. The Iris records current conditions, historical summaries and lightning strike counts while the self-calibrating barometer refines its local forecast over time. With selectable units, an auto-dimming color screen and programmable alerts, it turns raw weather inputs into usable home-ready information.

How accurate are the AcuRite Iris readings for daily use?

The Iris provides frequent sample readings and stores running averages so you get a realistic snapshot of local conditions rather than one-off spikes. The built-in barometer runs thousands of readings to self-calibrate and improve forecast reliability over days to weeks.

• Barometric averaging: continuous readings, improving accuracy over 14–33 days
• Wind averages: configurable 1, 2, 5, 10 and 15-minute intervals
• Temperature/humidity: indoor and outdoor sensors with real-time updates
• Rainfall: historical records for 48 hours, 7 days, month and year

What lightning and severe-weather information does it provide?

The integrated lightning detector estimates distance to lightning-producing storms and tallies strike counts for immediate and historical review. Alerts and a scrolling weather ticker notify you on the display when conditions change or storms approach within the sensor’s detection range.

• Lightning detection range: reports strikes up to about 25 miles (or kilometers)
• Strike counters: current, daily, weekly, monthly and all-time totals
• Onscreen ticker: streams real-time alerts and condition updates
• Programmable notifications: set thresholds for wind, temperature, rainfall or lightning

How does the color display make weather easier to use at home?

The Iris’s illuminated color LCD organizes data into glanceable panels with auto-dimming for day/night readability. It can sit on a tabletop or mount on a wall, and shows time, date, indoor/outdoor readings and forecast icons alongside a scrolling ticker for alerts.

• Auto-dimming color screen for clear day and night viewing
• Weather ticker shows real-time updates and alerts across the bottom
• Tabletop stand and wall-mount options for flexible placement
• Display includes time, date and programmable alarm alerts

Can I expand the system to monitor other locations?

Yes—the Iris display supports up to two additional wired wireless sensors so you can track multiple spots around a home, greenhouse, garage or RV. Compatible sensor models are sold separately and integrate to show multiple indoor/outdoor zones on the same display.

• Expandable: supports up to two extra AcuRite sensors (models 06002, 06044)
• Multiple-zone monitoring: compare conditions from different locations on one screen
• Selectable units: temperature in °F/°C, wind in mph/kmh/knots, rainfall in in/mm
• Data logging: historical summaries for wind and rainfall across set timeframes

Who this is for: Choose the AcuRite Iris 5-in-1 if you want a single outdoor sensor suite and a clear indoor display that deliver professional-style metrics without a complex installation. It’s ideal for backyard weather tracking, safe outdoor planning, gardeners, small-farm monitoring, RVers and anyone who wants reliable local lightning awareness and historical weather records. If you need more sensors or networked online upload, consider compatible AcuRite add-ons or different models with internet connectivity.
