I thought I could live with USB/display (02032c) problems if the 5-in-1 readings were accurate, but I'm returning mine to the store. I'm not going to spend money to ship it to Acurite and have them tell me nothing is wrong. The fan actually starts up from sun light coming through the little windows in my closed garage door, but it's hit or miss for running in partly cloudy conditions even though the sensor body is getting heated up. If the 02032c wasn't so flawed I would keep it and modify the 5-in-1 to have the fan run sunup to sundown like other people are trying to do.
I think it says a lot that Acurite is now selling most if not all of their bridge bundles with the 6014RM dual panel sensor. I'm not sure if it would solve my problem but it's at least a tacit acknowledgement that the single panel sensor is not accurate enough in some locations to report data to 3rd party sites.
People should keep in mind that Davis addresses the varying levels of radiation with different versions of their Vantage Pro2 station. One w/o fan and another with 24hour solar powered fan. Could be more versions but I didn't spend much time looking. I just saying problems related to location and varying levels of radiation are real.
