Acurite 5 in 1 weathersnoop7/10/2023 When I contacted they replied that my station ID has been added to the “Active Member” list and would show up at NOAA in a few days. The next step is getting the CWOP data sent to NOAA. Once your data is uploading you will immediately see the updates at at: I had to email: and request my account be activated.īefore you start uploading data you should update the “System” menu and put in your Latitude and Longitude and the “Select Station” menu to add your Altitude, because this data is sent to CWOP along with your weather data. I am a HAM radio operator, so I’m a unique case where I can use my callsign. In this case, CWOP is the network will get the data to the Rachio App. Next, I choose the weather station I wanted to upload too. I needed to select “Acurite Internet-bridge” from the “Select Station” menu: The meteobridge “sniffs” the traffic from the acurite bridge and this is how it is able to collect the weather information and send it to a weather network of my choice. The meteobridge acts as a transparent bridge, and the acurite bridge thinks it is just on the local lan. Once I got this working, I plugged in the Acurite internet-bridge into the ethernet port on the meteobridge. Next I needed to setup the the wifi on the Meteobridge so that it is a client “WLAN mode” on my homes Wifi network. The firmware will work for 14 days without needing to buy a software license. Next, I bought the DLINK DIR-505L and flashed it with new firmware from meteobridge, Instructions and firmware can be found here: I bought the Acurite 5in1 with Internet Bridge from, got that installed and updating to the internet. Here is a summary of what I did (which only applies when using the AcuRite Internet-Bridge). You can check that the meteobridge will work with your weather station at: The core component of this solution is the meteobridge, which cost $20 for the hardware (DLINK DIR-505L from amazon) and the software from for 59 Euros. You could require the users get their own API Key from wunderground, so Rachio does not have to pay for access I was able to integrate my wunderground data with my VeraLite by getting a free API key, So if we can pick the source of where the “Weather Intelligence” gets it’s rain data, that would basically be the solution. This would be useful for people that doent have a PWS too, since they might find a nearby neighbor that has one, and theyĬan use that data for Weather Intelligence as well. My PWS tracks rain fall which would be awesome to be able to delay my sprinklers based on the rainfall collected by my PWS. I currently have a PWS (Personal Weather Station) running on my house (AcuRite 5in1 with internet bridge: ), which transmits data to the weather underground.
