I just got a 01050 unit and bridge today for beta testing. The installation and setup was easy. It took about 20 minutes to register the bridge, and another 20 or 30 minutes for it to detect all of the season, but it is working fine and uploading to Weather Underground. The interval is 15 minutes, but sometime it is 15 minutes, but sometimes as much as 20 to 25 minutes, perhaps bridge problems?? I noticed after sunset that the Aculink temperatures fell much faster than my Oregon Scientific unit and have been running 3 to 4 degrees cooler than that unit and the local ASOS. I also notice that sometimes the readings on the console do not match what is being shown on the Acu-Link dashboard, or what is being sent to Weather Underground. I'm sure these are things that are still under development in the software. As I have said repeatedly, I think having more frequent updates to Weather Underground, including the Rapid-Fire feature, capability to upload to CWOP/APRS, and the ability to ftp to our websites are a must as this station moves forward. It would also be a plus if support was added to one of the 2 big software packages, i.e. Weather Display or Virtual Weather Station. I have already asked about Cumulus and was told that there was no plans to add this system to Cumulus, so it will be one of the big two, most likely Weather Display, since VWS development seems limited. I will keep you posted as I continue to test. It will be quite interesting to see how the system does once we get some precipitation.
