acurite used to have two 'bridge' devices.

1) 'acurite bridge' or 'smartHUB' or 'aculink' - this was a bridge between 
wired ethernet tcp/ip and the unlicensed radio (915Mhz in US) used by 
acurite sensors. it was intended for use with the acurite 5-in-1 stations.

they stopped selling these some years ago, and the devices are now useless 
without weewx (or similar) since they only communicate with the acurite 
cloud.  on the tcp/ip side, it sent data to the acurite cloud. you can use 
the weewx-interceptor driver to capture the data, even though acurite has 
shut down the cloud service.

2) 'acurite access' - this was a bridge between wired ethernet tcp/ip and 
the unlicensed radio (915Mhz in US) used by acurite sensors. it was 
introduced for use with the acurite atlas stations, and support other 
devices such as the lightning sensor.

you can use the weewx-interceptor driver to capture the data.  apologies, i 
never published a guide for doing this - acurite is not consistent in their 
long-term support for hardware or software services, and i shifted to sdr 
for this instead.  my preferred mechanism for capturing data from an atlas 
is the usb-sdr.  you don't get pressure, but you get everything else.

in my experience, both devices work reliably (i still have a couple of 
aculink devices chugging away). but they were (are) overpriced for the 
functionality they provide, and sdr works better (faster refresh rate, more 
sensor data).

hope that helps!
