How It Works

AcuRite Atlas is an environmental monitoring station that delivers key information on current outdoor conditions in your exact location. The outdoor device contains sensors that read temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, rainfall, UV, light intensity, and optionally lightning (requires optional Lightning Detection Sensor; may be purchased separately). These readings are transmitted over a 433 MHz wireless radio frequency (RF) to be received by the AcuRite Atlas indoor touchscreen display.
NOTE: To view your outdoor readings online from My AcuRite an AcuRite® AccessTM is required; may be purchased separately.
