Topic: New Acurite user

DoctorKnow, I see that you have a station using Kevin Keys program but your rain still reset today at 8am?  Are you having luck with his latest update?  Because of the rainfall disaster with Acurite, I was using it again for awhile but it kept freezing up on me.

I don't use KK prog very often, just during heavy weather conditions... The rainfall still resets with it though, it seems to be the smarthub doing it. The pressure is fixable though with KK's The latest KK download was much better for me than the previous version as far as errors.

I figured out how to correct pressure finally. (Wunderground) It isn't what you would expect, do adjusted pressure, then go well into the negatives, (below 50 FT) in the elevation.

I got it back online! Lets see how long it stays

How did you do it? The functions are really screwy in the dashboard setup... Sometimes I have had to uncheck the sharing and save, then go back and check it again, save, and then it will go OK.

Adjust it on MyAcurite or adjust it to go through to WU?  MyAcurite is easy to figure out.  It would be awesome if the SmartHub could be adjusted to reflect the pressure I want on WU without using PC Connect.

The fix is for Wunderground AND myacurite. If you do the adjustment with "station Pressure" it will NOT fix Wunderground.

I did exactly that. I had to "unshare" and the share it again. I also changed what router my sharing was going through. I guess we will see!

Paul (or anybody):  I want to install a weather cam, too.  What do you recommend?

I did what you said, but made the elevation higher than my actual elevation about 100 feet and it adjusted to what I want it to be.  Making it negative made mine even worse from what I'm aiming for.

Thanks for the report. I started another topic on this, so that others could share their experience. I am not surprised that your result is not the exact same as mine, but at least we know what to do now.

Something isn't right. I see "no data" again.

UGH! This is literally driving me mad! I can still get all the info on the MyAcurite app on my phone and I'm over in YOUR area right now dropping off gym clothes to the kiddo!

I have no idea what's going on. It goes up, it goes down, it goes up, it goes down. My computer is on, net is stable, I've turned off the sleep mode... I am baffled why it keeps going offline!

Have you checked Myacurite? Maybe you should re enter your station ID? If it keeps up, I would try the program VIS reader. I have been having problems with my setup as well. (smarthub) The pressure is way off, and rainfall keeps going to zero...

I may have to try that. I am not getting texts from MyAcurite that its offline tho, just from Wunderground, so... I'm not sure.

I have not been seeing my station on the WU map in the last month, but I see my station when I click on my neighbors station and that other window pops up. So I am grateful to see some WXForum members suggests fixes. . . I have been resetting and "allowing to share" and even changing my Station ID and doing everything else, so now maybe I will have better luck and follow your tips...thanks !

Hey Nachoqtpie,

Your station is working good now. Did you also notice another acurite on the map down towards Burgaw past SW elementary? I just saw that one for the first time. They are using VIS reader. I wonder if they read this forum?

[NachoQTPie]

I did not! I hope they do! That would be cool to have 3 of us here!
