Acurite Iris with Access

[Ryan DeVoe]

I see that the Access is supported next to the Atlas. Is the access supported on WeeWX with any system or only the Atlas?

Will this work with WeeWX?

use the 'weewx-interceptor' driver to talk to the acurite access.  that will work with any acurite station that uses the access.  that means either the atlas or the 5-in-1.

however, you might not get all of the data available from your station out-of-the-box.  the interceptor listens to the packets that the access sends to weather underground, so it can only capture data that your station sends to weather underground.  i think the acurite lightning sensor and the battery status are not included in that.

if you want more data, you can use the weewx-sdr driver.  for this you must also purchase a usb sdr (about 20$US).  this catches the radio signals directly from the atlas or 5-in-1.  beware that sdr driver requires considerably more manual setup - you must figure out the sensor names then map those to the database fields.  and it does not include a pressure sensor (there is a pressure sensor in the access).

both interceptor and sdr will run reliably - i have systems that have been running them for years with no restarts.
