From PC Connect, you can share the readings collected by your Iris® (5-in-1) Weather Station with My AcuRite® and Weather Underground.
To view your readings online on myacurite.com or from the My AcuRite® app, you must set up Weather Sharing in PC Connect. Once set up, create a My AcuRite® account (go to www.myacurite.com to create an account) or if you already have a My AcuRite® account, add the Device ID of the Indoor Display to your account.
To share with Weather Underground, you must have a My AcuRite® account and enable sharing to My AcuRite® in PC Connect, then register your AcuRite Weather Station (Personal Weather Station) with Weather Underground to obtain a Station ID and Password (Station Key).
To ensure continuous sharing with My AcuRite® and Weather Underground and to allow scheduled Data Transfers, the PC Connect software must be open on your computer and your computer must be on and have an Internet connection at all times. The PC Connect software can be minimized.
