i've been using acurite hardware at 3 different locations since 2013 (i think the first acurite usb driver was released dec 2013, and i think the bridge/smarthub driver came out summer of 2014) the acurite consoles are horrible wrt comms - there are firmware bugs, they revert to usb mode 2 (no comms) after power cycle, and we had to do a lot of hacking to ensure that we could get good data from them. but they are quite nice from a display point of view - the ticker is lame, but the rest of the display is better than most low-end weather stations. (te923 have the most readable display, imho. but i would avoid all consoles and just use an android tablet - that way you get not just easy-to-read, but also information display that beats *any* weather station) the bridge performs flawlessly. if you are loath to give away your data, you can prevent it from sending data to acurite by using your own dns on your lan. you can run weewx-interceptor in either sniff or listen mode, depending on your network configuration and skills. the sensors seem to be pretty solid - they track pretty closely with those from other vendors. the lightning sensors were pretty flaky in the first batches, but they seem to be better now. but you'll need an sdr dongle to capture lightning data (the bridge does not understand output from the lightning sensors). i would avoid netatmo - they actively prevent you from getting your own data unless you go through their servers. weatherflow is a much better option if you want to go with a netatmo equivalent. m -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
