Can't get any data from Acu-Rite 1025 **solved**

Post by DogBytes »

This station works using PC-Connect. I have it now configured through a TL-2030 Meteobridge (trial) and a 4 port USB hub. The Station Select for Acurite shows a green check. My Weather Underground account is all green (this was also working with PC-Connect). I can ping the TL-2030. The link status for shows some activity, but I'm not getting any local data from the 1025. Can anyone give me any help on this? It would be greatly appreciated.

Can you please email me MAC address of your Meteobridge (can be found on "System" tab).

I could drill down the problem to be related to the use of a USB hub. My findings are as follows:
1) acurite stations work fine when directly connected to a Meteobridge based on Asus WL-330N3G
2) acurite stations do not work when connected via a USB hub with Meteobridge (regardless platform)
3) as MR3020 needs USB hub to be able to make contact with USB 1.1 stations (like acurite) it does not work with acurite at the moment.

As all other USB-HID stations do work fine with and without USB hub inbetween, this is a bad surprise to me.
I will start digging deeper and have still hope to find a solution in a couple of days. But this is not a trivial
kind of bug.

For time being, you need a WL-330N3G when you plan to connect to a acurite.

I was able to solve the USB issues for Acurite stations. :mrgreen:

Should now work with release 1.6 (to be finalized this evening) as expected,
with USB hub for TP-Link Meteobridges and without USB hub for ASUS.
