Atlas Lightning Detector
Second one I have owned. First station and detector failed in a little over a year. Bought a new sensor suite then found the original detector was also bad so ordered this one. It works and is simple to install. Seems to be fairly accurate for distance on short range strikes based on real time lighting maps on the internet. During a storm about 50% of the time it says it can't detect lightning so you don't get a total count of strikes. Only does this during a storm.

Love it......easy to install!!!!!!!!
12/27/19 - So far liking it, it was easy to install. TIP: If you are using a telescopic flag pole make sure you disconnect your access and take out their batteries so you don't get accidental rain reading. 04/11/20 UPDATE: This lighting sensor is awesome and does the job well. I have had it pick up lightning strikes as far as 15 miles away.

Works well - Must use with Atlas Outdoor Wind/Rain unit
Works great with no issues... Would be nice if it could show you where the lightning is on a map vs just the difference, but this does a great Job, especially for the price

THIS ACU-RITE UNIT HAS A VERY HIGH ACCURACY, QUALITY AND EXCELLENT ATTENTION TO DETAIL !
I HAVE HAD ACU-RITE WEATHER EQUIPMENT FOR A DECADE OR MORE AND BY FAR THIS SET UP IS THE MOST ACCURATE AND OF THE BEST QUALITY WITH MORE FEATURES THAN I HAVE HAD IN ONE OF THESE WEATHER STATIONS BEFORE. I HAVE FOUND NO DISLIKES AS I BOUGHT JUST EXACTLY WHAT I WAS IN NEED OF. ~ PAUL B.

Beware the AcuRite Atlas
I bought an Atlas weather station and had nothing but problems with it. It always had connection issues with the display, and the lighting sensor would display an error on the display unit whenever a storm got close, saying it couldn’t communicate. I replaced the lightning sensor, as per AcuRite and still the same issue. It’s a shame because before the Atlas, we owned an Iris and never had a single issue. We ended up just giving up on the Atlas and switched brands to Ambient Weather and have been happy with that weather station.

Novelty at best.
I sure like having my own weather station but with this AcuRite Atlas you need to have internet connection in order to see any of the readings. This lightning detect dies work but only under 25 miles and only measurements I’ve seen was 6 miles and 1 mile away. Had one hit in my front yard and this device still says 1 mile and it only ever says 1 mile and 6 mile. Also after getting this installed in the Atlas the whole thing quit working. Their sever was down or not reporting accurately or even close. Never got any support response. I read someone claiming to hacked them and I’d course they’d say no but all the resets and removal/installs did NOT WORK. I must say I’m majorly disappointed and this lightning detect should’ve been included and NOT extra. They have now reset but still not as accurate as once was. I can no longer depend on this as first or even second source for data of a viable nature. Basically I see this as a novelty at best and living in an area where weather is everything having sensors that half work or can’t be depended on is NOT a good thing but a major waste. My daughters purchased this for me for Father’s Day so even more major disappointment.

The only problem is that one has to purchase a newer compatible display.

Dès que je le branche, la station devient non fonctionnelle. Perte instantanée de signal, impossible de retrouver le signal tant que le détecteur de foudre est branché

We have only one so far so it’s hard to tell right now

Works well. It would be nice if it showed the direction of the strikes, but really you can tell if you're outside.
