Introduction

What do I need? (not included)

1. Network router with an available Ethernet port

2. “Always On “Internet connection

3. PC or Smart phone for registration

4. AcuRite weather sensor(s)

How does it work?

AcuRite weather sensors collect and broadcast current conditions

such as temperature and wind speed. The Bridge receives weather

data from Acu-Link compatible AcuRite weather sensors. The

Bridge connects to your existing home internet router via a

standard network cable. The information is automatically streamed

to the internet to allow you to monitor home weather conditions

remotely on a smart phone and PC.

Getting to Know the Acu-Link Internet Bridge Choosing a location

The Acu-Link Internet Bridge receives data from sensors via

433mhz wireless radio frequency. Reception range of the

signal from sensors can be limited by very thick concrete or

metallic walls or materials. Other “noisy” electronic devices

such as TVʼs and microwaves may also interfere with the signal

reception.

To help ensure a successful reception from the AcuRite sensors,

choose a suitable location no more than 330 feet from the

sensor to place the Bridge. Choose a location free of large

stone or concrete surfaces, metallic surfaces, and place at least

3 feet away from other electronic devices.

Step 3. Wait for the bridge to start up

Connect

Press the “REGISTER” button only once during initial installation. DO NOT

PRESS THE REGISTER BUTTON AGAIN AFTER YOUR BRIDGE HAS BEEN

SUCCESSFULLY REGISTERED, or you will lose previously stored weather

data and have to register again!

Acu-Link Tip

After connecting the power and Ethernet cable, the

Acu-Link Internet Bridge may need up to 30 MINUTES to

start up and automatically download the latest software

before it can register with the server.

1. Make sure that BOTH status lights are blinking rapidly.

2. Press AND HOLD the “REGISTER” button on the

bottom of the Acu-Link Internet Bridge for 4 SECONDS.

Step 4. Prepare the Bridge for Registration

The Acu-link Internet Bridge will transmit your weather

information to the secure AcuRite servers. From there you

will be able to view and track this information via the

web site or by downloading and using the Acu-Link APP

for iPhone and Android smart phones, we will cover that

later.

Before you can access all this wonderful information, you

must first “make the connection” by registering your

bridge.

DEVICE ID

(MAC Address)

The “Name” that you type will appear on the dashboard as the bridge

name. It will also appear on the title bar of each widget. This helps to

identify multiple bridges and locations, as well as allowing you to

personalize your weather.

Acu-Link Tip

The Acu-Link system allows you to add multiple bridges to your account

from multiple locations (for example- a bridge at your home and a bridge

at your business or at another property). You would add additional bridges

from this same window by clicking on the “+” button again.

Acu-Link Tip

5. Click on the “ + ” button to add your bridge.

6. Enter your unique DEVICE ID (MAC address) and the

geographic location that the Acu-Link Internet Bridge will

be operating from.

7. Click “SAVE” to complete the registration process. You

My Dashboard

Acu-Link.com

The dashboard displays all of your widgets for your

sensor(s), think of it as your weather home page. From

the dashboard you can access and use all of the features

of the Acu-Link system.

My Sources

The sources list will display the available weather widgets

for your bridge. If you are subscribing to a friendʼs

bridge, that bridge and itʼs available shared sources will

show up under the “My Sources” list as well.

Widgets

Each weather category is given itʼs own “widget” that

will display the latest information as well as the daily and

weekly records. Each widget also allows you to chart the

data and set alarms for that weather category. Most

widgets will also have a “settings” button which allows

you to rename the sensor, set sharing and unit

preferences (ºC or ºF, etc.)

Using the Web site

Adding Sources and Managing Sensors

For each Acu-Link web bridge there is a “MANAGE

SENSORS” window that shows you all the sensors that

the bridge is receiving. If you want these sensors to be

available in the “My Sources” list, you can add them by

clicking the “MANAGE SENSORS” button.

Manage Sensors

2. Click the “ + ” button

dashboard source list

My Bridge - Wind

1514

The 5-in-1sensor wind widget is shown here, there will be little differences

between the widgets, such as temperature widgets having a recorded

“low” instead of an “average”. Also note that the widgets do not

automatically refresh, so refresh your browser to see the latest readings.

Acu-Link Tip

Getting to Know the Widgets

Using the Web site

Deleting Sources and Managing Sensors

For each battery powered sensor there is at least one

widget that will show a specific weather category. Some

sensors will have more than one widget. For example, a

5-in-1 sensor will have a separate widget for wind speed

and direction (shown below), temperature, humidity and

rain.

You may want to delete sensors and their widgets from

the source list and/or dashboard. You can add them

back to your sources list at a later time if you wish. This

function allows you to “ignore” a sensor that your bridge

is receiving that you have no interest in.

PLEASE NOTE that the specific sensor history data and

charting will be ERASED from the server if you click the

red “X” button to remove it from the “My Sources” list.

Click on the “X” button to delete the

sensor and all of itʼs widgets from the

sources list and dashboard.

Showing & Hiding Widgets

Using the Web site

When you “show” widgets on the dashboard, they automatically tile in the

order that you expand them. You cannot ”drag and drop” widgets or move

them around in your web browser. So make sure and expand your most

used widget first so that it will be near the top of the dashboard.

Acu-Link Tip

You may customize which weather widgets you want

displayed on your dashboard by showing or hiding them.

Sensor Settings

For each sensor based widget there is a “SETTINGS”

button that allows you to rename the sensor, choose units

(ºF or ºC, etc), and set sharing preferences if you wish to

share your sensor data online with friends and family.

Sensor Name

You may customize each sensor by entering a custom

name. For example- if you decide to add an additional

sensor to your bridge to monitor your basement

temperature and humidity, you may want to name that

sensor “basement”.

Sharing Sensor Data Online

You may wish to share your sensor data online with

friends and family. The sharing preference in the sensor

settings panel determine whether or not a particular

sensor will be visible to people following your bridge.

This will be covered in greater detail in the “Sharing”

section of this manual.
