My Bridge Acu-Rite bridge reader software has been updated to support the new My AcuRite smartHUB firmware!

Latest version is 2016.09.10.2225 and includes the following changes:

• Exclusively supports the new My AcuRite smartHUB / Acu-Link with the latest My AcuRite smartHUB firmware
• CWOP / APRS users can now enter a custom comment to be included in their weather data transmission
• Vastly enhanced Debug Mode to aid in troubleshooting
• Fix for Settings not saving

NOTE: This version (and any future version) will only work with the latest firmware. Older versions are still available for those that haven't upgraded yet.

An update to my website scraper app will come later.

Thanks Kevin for your great software! Acu-Rite alone was not acting right for me so i switched over to your program for WU and CWOP reporting.  All has been working very smooth after i figured out i had the wrong longitude in for my CWOP.

Thanks again!

Great stuff Kevin! Thank you. I have used your software for over two years now, and really enjoy the functionality!

A slightly-late "thank you" to mudhog79 and ColoradoWeather. Somehow I overlooked your replies until now.

Will I still need a computer with 2 LANs or a cmputer with  1 LAN and WiFi?

Either setup will work. You can connect the computer to the internet via Wi-Fi and plug the Acu-Link unit into the Ethernet port, or you can connect the internet via the first Ethernet port and plug the bridge into the second Ethernet port. Then you just need to bridge the connections.

Latest version is 2016.10.08.2336 and includes the following changes:

• Rain in the last 24 hours and rain in the last hour values finally work properly. Acu-Rite resets these values at midnight and every hour on the hour, but some of the weather networks want the rain in the past hour ongoing and rain in the past 24 hours ongoing values. The day in the past day value is still included as well. NOTE: Since I use the server's time-of-day in calculating these values, be sure that you have the correct location of your weather station specified on Acu-Rite's website.
• Removed the "You're using the old firmware" check. Some false positives were reported and I figured that this logic wasn't really necessary after all.
• When you first start the app, it will tell you what data it's waiting to acquire before it begins posting to the weather networks. This should take less than a minute.
• NOTE: The three DLL files included in the ZIP have been updated - be sure to replace your existing DLLs with the new ones.
