Re: Can I reset rain total in My Acurite
Yes on your display touch the three lines top left and that brings up the menu . Touch the records and then touch clear today's records . Now I found out that after doing that sometimes you also need to unplug the display for about two seconds and re plug it in then the " records " will reset .
For MyAcuRite I open the splash page and all you have to do is click on the SAVE AND RESET and that reboots your Access and clears the data / readings . It will take MyAcuRite awhile to redo the readings because it doesn't refresh that fast . Hope that helps .

Re: Atlas ' UV sensörü 6'ya kadar mı? Neden
I can say Acurite does have good Atlas sensors that work properly now, since the warranty replacement Atlas sensor I received a couple months ago works perfectly. The first issue I had was the well known lightning problem and then the low UV readings. I have none of these issues anymore with this completely new Atlas sensor. My original Atlas I bought when they first went up for sale, which I should have known was a mistake. I should have waited longer until all of the bugs were worked out. There is hope here with getting a working Atlas is my point.

Re: Atlas ' UV sensörü 6'ya kadar mı? Neden
I have had three Atlases over the past several months - Acurite CS sent me a replacement after each of the first two had issues. All three of these units had/had/have very low UV readings of less than half of what I observe from other stations. Acurite Customer Service was very responsive throughout; however, low UV readings were the least of my issues so I never addressed it with Acurite.
Original Atlas: High temps/fan not running; fixed via troubleshooting w/Acurite CS.
Original Atlas: Periodic connection loss with Access - Acurite sent replacement Atlas.
Replacement Atlas: High temps/fan not running: same issue as Unit 1, however, the fan still failed to start every time it should have (unless I touched it to get it going) so Acurite sent a replacement Atlas.
Second replacement Atlas: is working well (except for the low UV)

Re: More Ridiculous Acurite Rainfall Data
I was able to get in touch with AcuRite via Facebook and they were very responsive through messenger. I can't say enough about that process, it worked very well.
Bottom line: This is an issue effecting a small number of 5 in 1 station owners. The only fix is to replace the 5 in 1 unit. If the unit was less than a year old, I believe they would swap it out. Since mine are over 1 year old, no luck on that. They did offer me a 15% discount should I choose to buy a new 5 in 1. For now, I'll elect to keep an eye on things and see if it gets worse.
I did ask about a fix; swapping out the internal board. Unfortunately, that won't resolve the issue, hence the need to replace it.

Re: More Ridiculous Acurite Rainfall Data
This issue is affecting the Atlas users too with the Access. There is definitely some mixed messaging going on from Acurite. The issue is clearly with the Access device. I don't see how replacing the 5-in-1 or Atlas will resolve anything.

Re: Can I reset rain total in My Acurite
Thank you Mabcmb. I did the save and reset on the Access yesterday and I saw it renew it's connection to the detectors but when I went back to MyAcurite the rain history was still there. When I review the 7 day history, the false rain data I created during installation/setup is still there. I'm looking for a way to clear that bad info from the rain history data if possible.

Re: Upgrades? Since Victoria is Listening, What Upgrades Would you Like to See?
I would like to see solar radiation graphed for my new Atlas Weather Station. Since Light intensity is recorded to Acurite and to my HD display and it should be able to be transmitted via Weatherground, since Ambient stations have that option activated.

Light intensity (Lux) is not the same as Solar Radiation W/m2. You can use Light Intensity to easily get to UV index but Solar Radiation is different.
Davis VP2 Plus stations have separate UV and Solar Radiation sensors. There is no conversion happening with Davis VP2+ as each sensor is designed to measure each thing. The Acurite Atlas only has a light intensity sensor used for UV. Ambient (Fine Offset) stations also only have a light intensity sensor. What Ambient (Fine Offset) is doing to get Solar Radiation is to take some liberties and estimate the Solar Radiation based on a formula to convert light intensity Lux into W/m2. But this is not apples to apples. It is not like converting inches to millimeters. I believe I read somewhere that Acurite didn't believe in doing this. It is a rough estimate that is not 100% accurate to do this conversion. Therefore I doubt you'll ever see Solar Radiation from the Atlas, even though as you said it is possible if you accept the conversion with its average estimation formula.
The formula Ambient (Fine Offset) uses is to divide Lux by 126.7 to get W/m2 therefore if you capture the data yourself and run your own software to report to WU then you could possibly use this method to report Solar Radiation. I think using WeeWx might provide the solution. Or perhaps your own upload script which many have done.
Link to Ambient formula and explanation of why this is just a rough estimate as it really varies based on different factors:

Re: Upgrades? Since Victoria is Listening, What Upgrades Would you Like to See?
Thanks for the info. However, light intensity to solar isn't that simple, from what I remembered, because one's latitude is also configured into a more complicated formula.
Rough estimate is okay!
Thanks,
Dan

Thanks for the insight! I'm going to keep and eye on things and see if there are any changes.

Re: Upgrades? Since Victoria is Listening, What Upgrades Would you Like to See?
You may be right...but I only saw the one thing on top of the Atlas.
Yes, there is only "one thing" showing externally.
Regardless, there are two distinct sensor arrays on the chip.

Thank you for the clarification. I've edited my response above.

Lux is light visible to the human eye. UV is not visible to the human eye.
So Ambient is also estimating UV from Lux? That seems unusual.

I don't know. On Ambient/Ecowitt/Fine Offset there is what appears to be just one thing (which is why I thought the Atlas was the same). The fact that they list this one device in one line made me think it was just one sensor not two. If there are two chip/sensors there as one unit then it isn't immediately obvious. Notice though that Solar Radiation is not mentioned....because it is calculated. So maybe there are two things there.
Specifications (taken from Ecowitt HP2551):
Outdoor sensor
Transmission distance in open field: 100 m (330 ft.); RF Frequency: 433 MHz
Temperature range:-40°F - 140°F;Accuracy: 2°F
Humidity range: 10% ~ 99%; Accuracy: 5%
Rain volume display range: 0199.99 in; Accuracy: 10%
UV-Index range: 0 15; Light range: 0 120 kLux
Sensor reporting interval: 16 seconds

Re: Upgrades? Since Victoria is Listening, What Upgrades Would you Like to See?
Here is more specifications from WH2900 manual (WS-2902A).
I only see one thing listed for this sensor we are discussing. That is why it looks to me like just one thing. No mention of UV nor Solar Radiation. Only mentions Lux.

Re: Atlas display frozen
Last week I experienced the same thing as some of you, my display locked up, I rebooted it and it froze at the initial welcome screen, even after the usual troubleshooting methods.
I chatted with Selene and she promised to send a new one, I could trash my existing Atlas Display. That was last Thursday. To my pleasure and surprise, 5 days later the new one showed up, after traveling through FedEx and Smart Post. It also is version .04o.
So mark me down as VERY happy with AcuRite's customer service.

Re: Acu-Link Web Bridge to CWOP/APRS
Recent versions of MeteoBridge have APRS as one of their weather network choices...although it reports via the Internet and not over the air.
I recently obtained an APRS TNC with a bluetooth serial tty interface, with the hope of making MeteoBridge broadcast my weather data via RF. I'll post details if/when I get it working.....
I know this is a very old post, but I was wondering if this was ever worked out or if someone knows how to make this work with a WS-2000 and ham radio?
↧
Re: Acu-Link Web Bridge to CWOP/APRS
There are directions online to get many Ambient Weather stations' data into WeeWX, as well as directions to make WeeWX send observations over RF via APRS using the APRX Linux package. You'll need a cheap Raspberry Pi to run it all on, and maybe a dedicated TNC (or another piece of software) if APRX doesn't support the Pi's sound port output to feed your 2-meter radio. As they say, some assembly required.
I had it all up and running for a few weeks until a nearby lightning strike fried the Pi Zero it was running on. Since my digipeater RF coverage here is spotty on a good day, I went back to sending my data over one of the APRS Internet gateways and gave up on the idea.
It is worth mentioning that Peet Brothers weather stations (and Davis to a lesser extent) have great support in the ham radio community. They may even have native support in the common APRS packages, so you won't need WeeWX at all.....
