I had an issue with my Access not being able to be added to MyAcurite. After some exhausting troubleshooting I was able to get that figured out with my ISP yesterday. That is a whole topic of its own. Anyway, after watching the Access about constantly while I am learning it and adjusting my pressure to be calibrated for my house, I began to notice some issues. For one, I used the replace function to replace a smart hub. That worked fine. I then tried to re-add the smart hub. No luck, with the dreaded this device must be connected warning. It was logged in, and I could see traffic on my router and the connection to the Acurite servers in my router logs. So I waited for the servers, thinking that I would restart the hub a few times and eventually it would be available to add the device in MyAcurite. Well, that never happened, and I am not really losing sleep over it. But to the observations.
I had been adjusting my Access elevations to get my pressure right in the splash page and following the changes on WU until I got it right, and then went and changed myacurite device page to match. It is a work around that is fast and works well, but I kept getting funky station pressure showing up. Super low, in the 26 inhg range, but didn't match the Access station pressure or my ASOS local pressure. It was a number all out on its own. Then MyAcurite would update and match my adjusted pressure to a tee, and my feed to WU. Then in a few minutes it would revert back to some wonky station pressure. Every time I opened the MyAcurite app or webpage, the pressure graphing would be correct, matching the Access, but the pressure tile, the big numbers would be some station pressure that didn't match anything.
I was watching my Access rapid fire update times on WU, and comparing them to Georges update times in Peru, NE. Mine would vary from 10 seconds or so to 2 minutes. Georges were never really more then 30 seconds, sometimes way less. I know that his Atlas sensors send data to the Access faster then the 5 in 1 but the Access still sends faster, even if the data hasn't changed. While I was watching and wondering about that I disconnected the Smart Hub to let it set to try and reset again, and bang, the Access rapid fire started to match Georges update speed. I watched it for a while and plugged the smart hub back in. Once it logged in the speed dropped way back to 1 minute or more with an occasional 30 second update. MyAcurite pressure went wonky again too. Checking the splash screen of the smart hub shows that no WU log-ins are assigned to it. It sees all my sensors, but they are technically not added, and the device isn't added. But it is reporting its own station pressure to the Acurite servers and it is getting mixed into the app and website. It also is sending to WU and slows it way down. I am not sure how, as it does not have the WU data showing. But it is repeatable, and I have done it several times this morning. It may also have clashed with my rainfall recording last night. Big rainstorm and wonky graphing and reading of the rain fall. My local displays are all correct, but MyAcurite and WU are all goofy. Unfortunately I can't repeat that test.
I never did get my smart hub to re-add into the devices, and I don't need it anyway with 5 sensors. If there is anybody else running both the Access and Smart Hub simultaneously, maybe you could check your Access to WU update times and see what they are with the smart hub operational and with it disconnected. Maybe it is just a glitch with mine? Maybe something that Acurite may not know about. My app and WU have been perfect since removing the Smart Hub from the network. I did remove my WU sharing and logins prior to hitting the replace button.
