AcuRite Iris 5-in-1 Weather Sensor (06004M) — Temperature, Humidity, Wind & Rain, Wireless 433 MHz

The AcuRite Iris 5-in-1 Weather Sensor is a compact outdoor station that wirelessly measures temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and rainfall for connected AcuRite displays.

Designed for homeowners, hobby meteorologists, and gardeners, the Iris 06004M gathers five essential outdoor readings in one weatherproof unit and transmits them to compatible AcuRite displays. It combines durable sensors, easy mounting hardware, and low-power operation to deliver frequent updates on the conditions around your property without complicated wiring or constant maintenance.

How accurate and frequent are the measurements?

The Iris sensor uses dedicated sensors for each element to deliver precise readings suitable for routine weather awareness and home monitoring. Data is updated approximately every 36 seconds so your display stays current, and the unit is built to provide reliable outdoor performance.

• Dedicated sensors for temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and rainfall
• Automatic transmission at ~36 second intervals to paired AcuRite displays
• Engineered for consistent outdoor accuracy in everyday conditions

What are the installation and power requirements?

Mounting is straightforward: the sensor includes the hardware needed for pole or post installation and is sized for typical residential mounting above roofline or in the yard. It runs on four AA batteries (alkaline or lithium) for simple, cable-free operation, and the design prioritizes low power draw for extended battery life.

• Includes mounting bracket and fasteners for pole/post setup
• Operates on 4 AA batteries (not included) — no wiring required
• Low-power design for long battery intervals; minimal maintenance

How far will the sensor transmit data to my display?

The unit communicates over a 433 MHz wireless channel and supports line-of-sight transmission distances suitable for most homes. Actual range depends on obstacles like walls or trees, but the Iris is designed to pair reliably with a wide selection of AcuRite weather displays.

• 433 MHz wireless transmission for solid outdoor connectivity
• Typical line-of-sight range up to about 330 feet (100 meters)
• Compatible with many AcuRite 5-in-1 display models for seamless integration

How does the Iris help me in everyday life?

Whether you’re planning a lawn watering schedule, securing outdoor furniture before a storm, or tracking seasonal trends, the Iris provides the raw measurements you need to make informed choices. Paired with an AcuRite display, the sensor turns those readings into an at-a-glance view of current conditions and short-term changes.

• Improves decisions about outdoor activities and chores
• Helps monitor wind and rainfall for garden and property care
• Works with AcuRite displays for clear, actionable presentation

Who is this for: The AcuRite Iris 5-in-1 is ideal for homeowners, gardeners, small-farm owners, and anyone wanting a reliable, easy-to-install source of outdoor environmental data without subscription fees or complicated setup.
