AcuRite Temperature and Humidity Solar Radiation Shield

I bought this Acurite Radiation Shield/Cage for a different brand of thermo-hygrometer to the one it is designed for, as I knew that the generous dimensions of the internal void would accommodate my sensor. I was impressed by the quality of the this Shield which is quite a sturdy unit. The Acurite Shield, which arrives fully assembled, is actually constructed from a set of moulded white plastic louvre sections of tapering sizes with plastic latches that enable each section to click firmly into the next. These louvre units can easily be dis-assembled, if necessary, to assist in any modifications, which I needed to do in order to drill some fixing holes for my own cross piece that I screwed onto the internal top plate from which to hang my thermo-hygrometer sensor. The design protects your sensor from rain and also minimises erroneous readings due to direct sunlight but allows the air to flow through. I can recommend this unit.

I am using these housings with SensorPush HTxw sensors in polytunnels. The height of the housing can be adjusted by adding and removing extra levels. My readings seem to be accurate for temperature, humidity and VPD, and they shelter sensors from direct sun and from rain. Very happy with the design

Smaller than expected but adequate for temperature sensor. Fixing for the sensor is a bit hit and miss, as "gripped" by thin plastic clips.

This is a very well-made product and is ideal for sheltering an outdoor temperature/relative humidity sensor for a weather station. The only issue encountered was that my sensor was slightly too large to be retained by the plastic insert near the top of the unit, and there is no internal base provided. As a result, I had to fabricate additional plastic inserts to secure the sensor. With an internal base, this would merit a five-star review.

My Youshiko outside sensor was incompatible with this shield's fittings. Easily fixed with cable ties and works well. The readings seem more accurate as the sensor is now away from the wall giving readings of -4Cwhich is the true reading. Cheaper than other sheilds

Good looking like most of outdoor remote temperature sensors will fit. It is a lot cheaper than its comptitor selling similar seller similar on Amazon. I took a gamble and I think made the best choice. Good recommended seller

Hangs outside, in all weathers, but keeps the thermometer dry

Have used this to accommodate a Govee humidity/temperature sensor, and it fits perfectly.

Good way to ventilate sensor but protect it from direct sun light. Easy to install -- just push sensor up into the device and it clicks in place. Sunlight and heat over time take a toll on this shield but it lasted several years before the internal clip became brittle and broke. Sensor remained working and easily installed in the new shield.

百葉箱が欲しくて探していたが、どれもこれも高いし大きい これ見つけて感動した。

Muy interesante para los sensores de temperatura

El paquete llego en excelentes condiciones además de que llego en el tiempo estimado

I bought this for an Ecowitt WH32 temperature/humidity sensor. After a bit of modification, it fits nicely. I removed the plastic clip meant to hold AcuRite's sensor and replaced it with a bit of 18 gauge wire, then used another bit of wire to create a hook for the sensor to hang it off the first wire. This way, when I need to replace the sensor's batteries, I can just unhook it without any disassembly. It's been keeping the sun, rain, and snow off the sensor for over a year and shows no sign of wear or yellowing. The hole on the top is just large enough for a 15" hanging plant bracket from Canadian Tire (059-5696-6), which keeps the sensor from reading heat from my house in -40 winters. If I ever need another one (greenhouse?) I'd order this one again.
