I can say Acurite does have good Atlas sensors that work properly now, since the warranty replacement Atlas sensor I received a couple months ago works perfectly. The first issue I had was the well known lightning problem and then the low UV readings. I have none of these issues anymore with this completely new Atlas sensor. My original Atlas I bought when they first went up for sale, which I should have known was a mistake. I should have waited longer until all of the bugs were worked out. There is hope here with getting a working Atlas is my point.

I have had three Atlases over the past several months - Acurite CS sent me a replacement after each of the first two had issues. All three of these units had/had/have very low UV readings of less than half of what I observe from other stations. Acurite Customer Service was very responsive throughout; however, low UV readings were the least of my issues so I never addressed it with Acurite.

Original Atlas: High temps/fan not running; fixed via troubleshooting w/Acurite CS.

Original Atlas: Periodic connection loss with Access - Acurite sent replacement Atlas.

Replacement Atlas: High temps/fan not running: same issue as Unit 1, however, the fan still failed to start every time it should have (unless I touched it to get it going) so Acurite sent a replacement Atlas.

Second replacement Atlas: is working well (except for the low UV)

This is not a very realistic test, but I got a reading of 15 UV by holding a 1000 lumen LED flashlight right up against the sensor cover. 

Lux maxed out at 163K.
