Thanks for the feedback! Many of the comments are already in the process of being addressed or are planned in the future as updates. It's important to note that all of these new connectivity products are a platform that will continue to receive support and updates. We are excited about the future of Acu-Link.
The rainfall issue might be a weather underground problem, I am not seeing that issue anywhere else. Maybe try turning off weather underground sharing and then turn it on again from the drop down menu on the website (
www.acu-link.com).
The Aculink USB software that is available now is only v.1.0- pure functionality. There is a new version in the works right now that is more concise and easier to use, as well as having a live weather view window, and an easier way to stop the service.
The 18 seconds refers to the the transmission interval from the sensor to the USB console (or bridge). After that it's depending on network traffic and ISP speeds, server loads, speed of wunderground, etc., the update interval will vary.
