I'm running two stations; Davis Vantage Pro 2 and Acurite 5+1 (with the
Smart Hub, not the Access). I have no issues with those stations running
Weewx on a Raspberry PI 3. The Davis I use the vantage driver and the
Acurite 5+1, I use the interceptor driver running through a TP-Link manage

The Vantage Pro is certainly a good piece of equipment, but costs more than
I am prepared to spend.
Can certainly live with the Acurite 5+1.
I didn't get the Acurite intercept thing... is it the smart hub... is this
device required in order to intercept TCP traffic?
Or wil
Basically, I have the smart hub and raspberry pi plugged into the managed
switch with the smart hub port mirrored to the raspberry pi port. I have
the interceptor driver listening for the TCP traffic. Another option I'm
currently using is RTL Dongle and RTL_433 software to decode the signal

I have got a 433MHz dongle... :) what software do you use do decode the
signal? Where does it run on? Raspberry?

Max, I am no expert, but I do currently have an Acurite 5-in-1 sensor,
along with two additional temperature/humidity sensors, using an Acurite
"smart hub" to receive the signals and the Interceptor driver to import the
data into weeWX. It works well, but there are a few catches.
First of all,
There is really no hardware interface. You have a dongle capable of
receiving 433 MHz, plug it in a Raspberry Pi or laptop. Download the
RTL_433 software to decode the signal. As a note, there is no pressure
sensor in the 5+1, it is in the "smart hub" and console. You can use an
i2c sensor
I am also using an Acurite 5-in-1 (and eight additional sensors (including
the lightning sensor)) connected to a Raspberry Pi.
rtl_sdr is the tuner, and rtl_433 uses rtl_sdr to receive and decode
packets from known devices, including the Acurite ones. Then the WeeWX SDR
driver uses rtl_433 to
Thanks guys...
All clear now... as it so happens, my rPi1B had a corrupt SD card today...
installed WeeWX on another Pi instead of fixing this one.
I also had a second base station, which I now use to continue with the
WH3080 for the time being.
Given your input and what I researched the Acurit
