Re: Access Firmware Update

I have the same problem.  Seems like if the Access Gateway device sits for any length of time AFTER initially powering it on (and actually being successful at reaching the firmware page following a power on event), that soon afterwards, it stops being responsive to web requests.

As I noted earlier under this topic, I had to power off my Access for 5 minutes (or longer) and then turn it back on before I was able to get success.  Powering it off for ~30 seconds or less, was not sufficient, but had to be a longer period of time.

After 5 minutes and then re-application of power--and once the blue LED goes solid again, I was able to direct a browser to the specific IP address expressed as a URL, and would get success.  24 hours later (or less), the page was, once again, unresponsive.

It would seem whatever controls this ability within Access must time out or otherwise become unresponsive after some period of time.  I've not tried to nail down how long it takes to become unresponsive--I do know that I tried roughly a day later and it had already stopped responding, but by then, I had obtained the firmware version--which was the piece of information I was seeking.  I'll re-iterate, it would be nice if the firmware versioning were available elsewhere (ideally somewhere within the MyAccurite Dashboard), because if this web page does nothing more than display the MAC and firmware version (for, apparently, a very limited time), then it doesn't serve a very useful purpose if we cannot rely on it to be "available" on our individual demand.

Short of rebooting the Access gateway device (and ensuring you leave power off long enough--maybe for any on-board capacitors to drain) seems to be the only method I have found to reach the web page.  This does sound like a problem--one shouldn't need to cycle the device just to reach this page, irrespective of how little information is found there.  I believe the page should always be accessible if the gateway device is "up"....

My opinion.

If you have some sort of network behavior that is badgering the Access web server, it can tie up all the available connections pretty quickly.  When that happens, the web process won't respond until the connections age out.  I can't remember exactly, but it seems about 30 seconds or so per connection.

Just a heads up but when I have a fault ( haven't had one lately ) or any other problems with my access I had to unplug it and  pull the batteries for a couple of minutes also . Don't know why but that's the only way I could clear it and then reconnect to it . Maybe try that and then open router,  recheck your IP address and then try to open the splash  page .

Removing power from Access for a few minutes has now allowed me to open the splash page.  We'll see how long this lasts, I will send an update in the next day or two.

I tried to open splash page again, 15 minutes later, and it will not open (same as before).

Maybe it is overheating. Do you have it on top of another piece of equipment? Also what browser are you using, and did you try a different browser and/or computer?

No, Access is not close to any other equipment and yes, I've tried more than one browser. Thanks for the suggestions.

It's either the Access is acting up or you have network issues.

To rule out network issues what router are you using and how many WiFi access points are configured? One possibility is that the Access is connected to a router. But at the same time you have a modem also acting as a router both with their own WiFi. Then your computer is sometimes connected to one WiFi or the other. In this situation it's called Double NAT and it isn't a desirable configuration. Because if your computer randomly decides to connect to one WiFi or the other you would be disconnected from anything on the LAN side of the router while you were connected to the Modem's WiFi.

That is just one situation that comes to mind.

If you can't determine if you have more than one WiFi access point running on the network, you could find out what IP address your computer has. If it is a different subnet than what you would expect (different than router's LAN) then you likely have a Double NAT situation.

Alternatively try and log into the router's web interface. If you can't log in then you are likely on the WiFi from the modem and therefore you are on the wrong side of the router's firewall. Which would be the same reason for not being able to get to the Access.

Possible situation:
Modem - - - - computer
Modem - - - - router - - - Access

Solution:
Modem - - - - router - - - (all Ethernet devices like Access and WiFi computers)

The problem I've seen sometimes is that the modem and the router are dishing out the exact same WiFi SSID and password and then the computer sometimes is on the modem and other times on the router. Another possibility is the the SSIDs are different but your computer has connected and remembered both and then it arbitrarily connects to one or the other

I have not made any changes yet because last night and this morning I connected to the splash page several times.

Since we have been discussing splash page, I have a question.  Over an hour ago I took the batteries out of one of my indoor temp/humidity sensors.  When I check the splash page it shows all sensors with a max signal of 4 and the battery levels haven't changed from the levels before I removed the sensor batteries (they all still show normal or low).  My AcuRite dashboard has a red indicator on the sensor with the batteries removed (which means the sensor is offline, as I would expect). 

Any thoughts???  Maybe it takes awhile for the "no signal" to show on the splash page.  My goal is to identify the splash page Id with each of my sensors.

I just did the same thing and within a minute ( hitting refresh for the splash page )  the sensor I pulled the batteries out of shows 0 for signal strength . It still shows on there after refreshing but no signal but the battery still shows normal  .   

This is how I have my extra sensor set up , with the name and the last 3 digits of the sensor so when I see something wrong on the splash page I know what sensor it is . Use the EDIT button to  name each sensor and put the sensor digits next to it . Hope this helps you out .

Thanks Mabcmb, I tried it again and it went to 0.  I have now identified all the sensors.  I also like the way you labeled them (I've now done the same numbering), thanks again for the detailed response!!!!

Add me to the list of those that are requesting that the daily rainfall total be shown. I'm much more concerned with that data than the past 48 hours or week. Midnight to midnight would be fine. This might be a deal breaker for me.

I liked how the Davis Vantage showed daily rainfall and rainstorm if the event spanned several days.

I want to use acuparse, but do I need a technical device I don't know? Or is it just software? Is there a video of that? Could you help me?

You'll need to run it on some sort of Linux box.  A Rasberry Pi is a common platform.  Here's a video on setting up a Pi 4.


Once the Pi is set up, you can run the automated Acuparse installer in a terminal window:

Quote
wget https://gitlab.com/acuparse/installer/raw/master/install && sudo bash install | tee ~/acuparse.log

After installing the software, you can use Acuparse to adjust your Access so that data is sent to Acuparse instead of myAcurite.

Then it's just a matter of setting up the services themselves.

What does the socket under the Atlas screen do? How do I use it

According to Acurite it is "for factory use only".  For example, it is used by their support for updating firmware.

No one has found a consumer use for it.

The Atlas Display has no connectivity. You need to use the Access device and then it will send to WU and to myAcurite.com.
