I gave up on the Accurite PC software, their web service, and apps. I plug the display straight into a Raspi2B which runs Weewx. I do open a port that allows me to get at the web site from outside the house. I have a semi-static IP address and don't use one of the dynamic DNS services. I say semi-static IP. It's a dynamic IP address that hasn't actually changed in several years, so it makes it easy for me to bookmark the IP address on my phone browser.
