afaik, there is only one device - the bridge. it recognizes RF signals from the acurite sensors then emits them over wired tcp/ip as http GET requests to wu and/or the acurite web servers. acurite did a forced update of the firmware in 2016, and around that time they changed the branding from 'acurite bridge' to 'smarthub' https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/acuritebridge a year or two ago i picked up some t/h sensors at walmart once for $5 each - they work fine with the bridge. (don't recall the model number, but they look exactly like the ones in the 01059RM amazon link you posted) you can also sniff the RF traffic using an SDR USB device. but the bridge is nice because it has a pressure sensor on it - if you go the SDR route then you'll have to build your own pressure sensor. the t/h sensors have a dip switch inside with 3 positions - channels A, B, and C. but each sensor also has a serial number, so there should be no limit to the number of sensors you can monitor (the weewx-interceptor and weewx-sdr drivers use the serial number, not the channel, to identify sensors). batteries in the t/h units have lasted 2 years, but we often just replace once each year as part of a regular maintenance schedule. m -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
