433MHz RF to USB anyone?

What is RPI?
Thank you!

You're not going to be able to get the pressure off of that display. No one knows the purpose of that USB connector on that model's display.
Barometric pressure is sent to your online AcuRite / WU account(s) from the AcuRite Access or the Direct to Wi-Fi display which you don't have.

Thank you guys!
Doooh re RPI, now I know what you are talking about there..
That USB port is a connection that obviously AcuRite is using for their i/o needs. So no one has managed to tap into that, too bad.
And yes I know that the pressure goes to WU and my account. My whole purpose for investigating all this is to feed realtime data to my own PC graphing app. I hate the graphs showing in the AcuRite web browser, and on the console display they are worse. They put no heart into that whatsoever. I am likely not alone with that opinion.
Anyway, now I have to find some way to get barometric pressure data as a live stream, somehow. Maybe I have to look at some cheapo weather station that feeds the pressure info to its display, decodable by rts_433, even if I need a 2nd SDR for it. Any ideas which weatherstation would fit that category?
Thank you again!

There should be multiple web sites telling how others have wired a Bosch BMP-280 to a Raspberry Pi specifically for feeding barometer data into WeeWX for stations using an SDR with no barometer data.....
uwemundry:
I really would like to use an SDR to tap into the 433MHz transmissions of a weather station transmitter, feeding a stream straight to my PC, just like what I am doing with the Atlas. RPI is for hobbyists, I don't have the time to tinker at that level :-(
Thank you!

That's funny. I'm in the compete opposite viewpoint. I have a bunch of Raspberry Pi computers that do a bunch of different things (weather and non-weather related). I dont have time for SDR. I don't really see using a Pi as requiring tinkering. You can if you want, but you can also just copy a pre-built image, boot, and just use it without tinkering. I prefer to get data from weather stations that use APIs so that 3rd party software can easily get the live data from the local network.
