New AcuRite Platform

[admin]

Yes, Meteobridge never had the limitation on number of sensors.
If you encounter problems with sensor recognition, please let me know.

Thanks. So far the old AcuRite firmware seems to be working fine with 3.0. I will let you know one way or the other what happens when I get the new release of their firmware.

If I was to add the soil sensor would meteobridge pack that up and send it to Weather Underground?

This new sensor type will need to be implemented first. Please let me know when you have it so that I can remote login on your Meteobridge,
see the data coming in and add this sensor type. Shouldn't be rocket science

[joe002]

Cool! I'll order one and let you know after I get my firmware updated and the sensor up and running. Thanks!

[admin]

Yes, when a user has those sensors connected, I am keen to remotely login, see the data and adapt the software.
This should go rather quick, but I need the support of the users there, as I don't have access to these sensors here in non-Acurite land.

It seems something in the meteobridge is hindering the pressure communication. Before I migrated I had set an offset to fix my pressure and it was working. After migrating for some reason my pressure has spiked up. Ive added the offset into the new acurite platform but nothing happens. when I plugged aculink bridge directly to router and place a 0 it fixes the problem but not on CWOP and other sites. When I add 1.3 offset which was previously working before update it brings my pressure up. The pressure also comes up when I reconnect the smarthub to the meteobridge. neariest airport pressure is 30.04 and iam sending 31.37 to wunderground and cwop now for some reason.

Meteobridge expects to get station pressure from the Aculink bridge. When you increase pressure on Aculink bridge this will fool the Meteobridge which adds pressure itself based on defined station altitude.

FYI - I have the new sensor but I need the firmware update to activate it...

Plese drop a note to "info(at)meteobridge.com" when you have your Aculink updated and running with the new sensor and Meteobridge.

Got the email to update my firmware. Started the process and my hub now appears to be a brick.

I'll see how things look tomorrow.

Sorry to hear. I dont have personal experience but in wxforum they say that Aculink bridge can be bricked when update process gets anyhow interrupted. They recommend to directly connect Aculink to the LAN in order to minimize risk of interruption during firmware update. I hope you get it running again, it presumably had changed its IP after update. May be it is just that?

I'm checking with AcuRite. I can see the web interface for it and it seems to be stuck. We'll see what happens today.

[joe002]

Boris - I noticed the lights on the bridge looked different this morning so I rebooted it and it came up. I had to leave for work, so I didn't get a lot of time to check things out, but I could see the "downloading" message was gone and it could see my 5-in-1 and 3-in-1 data. I re-connected it to the meteobridge and I'm seeing data at WU.

When I get home I'll check to see how things settled out. I'm not sure I'll have time to hook up the new sensor tonight as I have a previous engagement, but I will keep you up to date as I progress.

[admin]

Great that it has not been bricked. Looking forward to your notice when new sensor type is up an running.

[joe002]

Me too - expensive brick.

Anyway, I have the sensor turned on (right now I have it in my house so the temperatures won't match the outside). I see it in the bridge web page and I see it on the MyAcuRite site so it's working. I'll shoot you an email.
