As always, too many hours already trying to make WeeWX on RasperryPi to 
connect to Acurite Access, at no result (1st try normal installation; 2nd 
try driver standalone; etc).


Acurite Access has a Static DHCP through DD-WRT router. The following 
command, returns no result:


PYTHONPATH=/usr/share/weewx python /usr/share/weewx/user/interceptor.py 
--device=acurite-bridge --mode=sniff --iface=eth0 --filter="src 
192.168.1.135 and dst port 80"


Understand there might be other 'strong' approaches (DNS hijack, direct 
eth0 connection, etc). Please, advice whats "next" and usually works for 
WeeWX Interceptor and Acurite Access.


After much plus hours, I was able to DNS hijack "atlasapi.myacurite.com" 
(this is the "new" API/myacurite.com address) to RaspberryPi/WeeWX IP 
address through DD-WRT DNSmasq/DNS Forwarding... still, no luck and stuck.



The above, was a posted of mine in the GitHub Interceptor blog, which 
Matthew was kind to reply and respond as the following (so ALL Acurite 
Access users to be aware):


*weewx does work with the access, but the access must send data in wu 
format. configure the access to send wu data. ideally you would configure 
it to send to the computer running weewx (use dns hijacking for this). then 
configure interceptor to listen (not sniff), and it will simply receive the 
wu data.*

*if you prefer to send to wu, then you must configure the interceptor to 
sniff the traffic (not listen).*

*please post on the weewx user group for further help on this.*

*i am sorry there is not yet a guide specifically for intercepter and 
access*


Thanks Matthew for continue support and response.



If you place the Access IP in web-browser, it provides basic info and 
current Acurite server, which for the Atlas current server seems to be 
"atlasapi.myacurite.com". In my router with DD-WRT I was able to DNS 
forward "atlastapi.myacurite.com" to RaspberryPi/WeeWX IP. Is this the same 
approach for UW through DNS hijacking? If so, what UW domain for DNS 
forward?


Thanks, ZX
