Interceptor drive help

[dave.sp...@gmail.com]

I am in the process on getting the interceptor driver configured and I am having an issue. I have the acurite atlas weather station. Weewx is a brand new install on ubuntu. Currently the weather station is uploading the data to wunderground with no issue. But when I run sudo PYTHONPATH=/usr/share/weewx python3 /usr/share/weewx/user/interceptor.py --device=acurite-bridge --mode=listen address=THE IP ADDRESS OF THE ACURITE ACCESS, I do not get anything at all.

 

Can anyone tell me what could be going on please?

 

Thanks

Dave

Are you running the ethernet cable directly from the Access into the Pi? THat would be necessary. If you have them both plugged into a switch, they're not going to see packets that aren't addressed to  them.

With the AcurIte, I've had some success with the SDR driver, although it doesn't capture the pressure data. I wrote some code to scrape that off the Access bridge's simple web page.

Thanks for the info and that was the piece I was missing.  I was hoping that it would have talked to each other through the switch but I guess I will go down that route later tonight.

You'll have to set the pi up as a router/bridge, as well as getting it to provide a DHCP address for the Access unit. There are guides out there how to do it, I went the SDR route.

Software Defined Radio - you basically have the Pi decoding the transmissions the outside weather station makes at 433MHz. Uses a cheap DVB dongle. It's one of the ways people have pulled data off the Acurites.
