not unless someone has an atlas we can plan with! as i understand it, the atlas uploads data using the acurite access (which is the successor to the smartHUB, which is just the acurite bridge with a new name and forced firmware update). since the acurite access sends data to weather underground, you can capture it using the weewx-interceptor driver. the acurite access sends a richer data set to the acurite servers, but you cannot capture that because acurite encrypts it. the only way to get your data is if someone writes a driver that polls the acurite servers (like the weewx-netatmo driver does for the netatmo servers). (btw, polling those servers is not reliable, and you only get data aggregated to 5 minute intervals, even though the sensors are spitting it out much more often) no definite word yet as to whether the elite will send data directly or use the acurite access as well. we have most of the issues resolved in the wmr300 driver. oregon scientific made a few design decisions on that one that make you go "huh?". for example, why would anyone make a rain counter that does not wrap around, provide a USB interface, but not provide a way to reset the rain counter via software? imho, davis is still top of the class for reliability and support, although they have issues too. i just installed a brand new vantage pro2 and the logger keeps going into a state where it won't respond to TEST - power cycling the console is the only fix. belfry boy to the rescue! m -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
