Add a sensor to a Connection Device

You must add a sensor to a Connection Device (AcuRite Access, smartHUB, PC Connect) to monitor and view its sensor readings from your My AcuRite account. Once added, its readings are sent to your My AcuRite account by the Connection Device.

How to add a sensor to a Connection Device

  1. From the top menu, select Settings > Devices.
  2. Locate the name of the device you want to add the sensor to.
  3. From Available Sensors, select + Add next to the sensor you want to add to the AcuRite Connection Device.
  4. Enter the sensor settings:

    5. Device Name - be sure to enter a name that uniquely identifies the installation location of the sensor. Its name is displayed in the Dashboard tab of the AcuRite Connection Device (AcuRite Access, smartHUB, PC Connect).

    Calibrate Reading (optional setting) - when sensor placement or an environmental factor may impact its readings, setting a reading calibration can improve accuracy. When a reading calibration is adjusted, the reading is offset by the set amount. For example, setting the temperature calibration to a -10 results in its readings to be displayed as 10 degrees less.

    Sensor Location - only applies to sensors that can be either located indoors or outdoors.

  5. Select Save.

The sensor is added to the AcuRite Connection Device. The sensor is listed in My Sensors and its readings will be sent to your My AcuRite account.
