    Hey Dan and thanks for the video! I got me the 5in1 for Christmas so I can keep up with the wind we get in North Alabama for fishing. I got it all set up but it keeps telling me on the AcuRite page that there's no sensor. It did last night but now nothing. I didn't have it mounted, just left the outside unit on the porch to test the temp accuracy (and it was spot on). Mounting is giving me a heck of a problem. I have a 10 foot piece of 3/4" conduit (like it suggests) but it won't go all the way into the mounting bracket. I'm going to mount the 3/4 conduit to a 20' power pole with only an outside light on it (no power going to it). That will raise it up about 5+ feet over the ridge line of the house. Thanks and have a great day!

    Thanks for the video. I just purchased mine. Two questions for you. What is the difference in the ABC switch other than synchronization? If all they need to do is match and offer no other benefit, why not just have one letter? The other aspect which I dont like is I cant mount it on the wall given it has to always be plugged in making it take up counter space.

    • @HomeInTheSticks
      @HomeInTheSticks  2 роки тому

      Hello Mr Chad, welcome to our community and the channel sir!! The ABC switch is to pair the sensor with the base, reckon the sensor sends off multiple signals so if A doesn't work, B & C can be used. My thinking is the opposite of yours lol, I don't want to mount on a wall yet the base has no "legs" to just have it sit on my table as I have a plug near by!! The base can run off of batteries but I think that would get expensive in the long run AND the batteries serve as a back up in case of a power failure. I thank ya for watching and commenting sir, have a good week!! Dan

  • @SouthernFoodJunkie

    If you check out that piece of Pipe that your weather station is on, it says Charlotte Pipe on it. That plant is about 20 mins from my house! I got several friends that work for Charlotte Pipe. One of them might have run that section off that you are using. How cool is that? Man, I got to get me a weather station. You make it sound so cool. I am going to ask for one for Christmas maybe haha.

    Hey Dan do yourself a favor and pour some gravel rocks down the PVC pipe. It will give the PVC pipe stability and help prevent it from breaking due to weather, age, and sunlight. I use to have one until an owl came by one night and took off with it. I guess he thought it was something he could eat. I found it all smashed up about 1/4 mile from the house. I put it back up and a Red tail Hawk took off with it, never to be seen again. So now I just stick my head out the door and look around and go back inside the house. LOL :-)
