Lightning data in My AcuRite!
The lightning detector is now compatible with AcuRite Access™ which allows lightning data to display in My AcuRite! This includes temperature, humidity, and lightning data reported by the Lightning Detector. View the lightning data in real-time on the My AcuRite app for the number of strikes per day, the closest strike, and the time of the last strike detected within a 25-mile radius of your location. Not only does this allow for remote monitoring, but you can also set up custom alerts to notify you when lightning is detected.
We strive to help stay connected to your environment and help keep your family and loved ones safe. Stay tuned as we continue adding new features and increase functionality in My AcuRite.

Could this replace an outdoor Temperature/Humidity Sensor so that you could get temperature, humidity, and lightning from one sensor in Acurite Access? With the Access only accommodating 7 sensors, I don’t have room for an additional one, but I could add this if it could replace my outdoor Temperature/Humidity sensor.
Does the detector sensor itself have an alarm and if it does can it be turned off? I would like to install this at our mountain home but only want it to alert me via the app and/or just log into the portal. (I of course have the latest hub and lots of other sensors and alarms setup) Thanks!
Thank you for listening to my suggestions and adding the lightening sensor which also includes another temp and humidity sensor. Now if you would add alerting on barometric changes to the list, it would be a grand slam.
Connected right up with no trouble; sensor was waiting to be added at the My Acurite Web UI. This is a really awesome addition and quite a nice surprise!
Thanks Acurite!
Thanks, Acurite, for integrating the lightening tower to MyAcurite. My Atlas was reporting too many false hits due to the location, so I had to remove the lightening detector from it, and bought the lightening tower. I am thrilled I can now see it on my phone and desktop.
On the App, Lightning Tower will show strikes but not when or distance?
It would be great if ALL lightning strikes distance and time got logged.
I just was given an acurite 5&1 (with weather ticker) system for my birthday and I love it and I was thinking about adding this to my system… originally my system did not have the Acurite access but I just purchased one and I am wondering if the lightning strikes will show up on my weather ticker or somewhere else on the indoor acurite display at all or if it only displays on the app/desktop/ phone?
I am having the same problem, the number of strikes, last strike, and distance show up on the website but only shows number of strikes on the app. For some reason the information is not coming across to the app.
Can the distance of detection be changed?
