I am not an Acurite user, and am happy to be corrected by one, but I suspect you are out of luck:
- For drivers and stations that support downloading historical data, WeeWX will automatically download historical data upon WeeWX being restarted. There is a caveat though, WeeWX will only download historical data that is newer than the most recent record in the WeeWX database; so if you have a gap in your database (ie records before and after a period of missing data) WeeWX will not download historical data for that gap. - For a WeeWX driver to download historical data the driver requires a genArchiveRecords() method, the WeeWX acurite driver has no such method so is unable to download historical data - Looking at the WeeWX Hardware Guide <http://weewx.com/docs/hardware.htm#acurite_usb_mode> the Acurite 1536 appears to only operate in USB mode 4 which does not support storing data in the logger (I understand Acurite has never been too forthcoming with detailed technical data on their stations so I don’t know the veracity of this information). Bottom line is if WeeWX and your station can download historical data it would have happened during WeeWX start up/restart, there is nothing you need to other than restart WeeWX.
