Is Alexa the most popular name in your home? “Alexa, order dog food”, “Alexa, play country music”, or my kids’ favorite—“Alexa, tell me a joke.” I don’t know about you, but the first part of my morning routine is to ask “Alexa, what’s the weather today?” What if you could ask Amazon Alexa about weather conditions in your backyard or she could tell you the temperature in the baby’s room? Well, now you can!! The new AcuRite® Access™ now has the capability to connect to Amazon Echo.
Our technical engineers at AcuRite have developed a skill for Amazon Echo that will make it even easier for you to interact with My AcuRite and the environmental monitoring data your devices are reporting. Just ask Alexa:
- "Alexa, ask My AcuRite what are my current conditions"
- "Alexa, ask My AcuRite about my backyard weather"
With these simple commands at your disposal, you will have quick access to the information you need to ensure that your family is prepared for the day’s conditions and get everyone out the door geared up for the day. Umbrella? Check. Winter coat? Check. Sunscreen? Check. You get the idea. Planning your Day with Confidence on those hectic mornings just got even easier.
The integration of AcuRite Access with Amazon Echo is just the start of AcuRite integrating with the technology that you rely on daily in your smart home. As a busy mom, I can't wait to enable the My AcuRite skill on Amazon Alexa to make my life easier. Already have an AcuRite Access? Enable the skill today and let us know what you think.

No doubt Alexa is the market leader right now. But there are some issues in Alexa. If you are also facing the some issues then you can contact netgear router support usa. They are the best customer service provider of Alexa.
I just got this setup yesterday. Works great! A graphical interface on the Echo Show would be a wonderful update down the road. Also, specific sensors and specific measurements would be ideal and it looks like you’re working on that.
It’s not available in Canada yet! Bummer. When? When?
Any news about my integration with Google home?
When will Google Home be available?
I have the same problem. Have you found a solution?
a year later and still not available for use in Canada!
They managed to get Google Assistant working but still no Alexa in Canada?
What a bloomin’ pity!
Is this skill available in Canada? I do a search for the skill ad nothing shows up.
Will this work with the Amazon Fire Stick TV with the Alexa ?
Looks like my acurite does not work with google home in Canada. Will the acurite atlas work with google home in Canada?
I have 2 Access devices and 7 sensors per.Access. 1 is for outdoor temperature, 4 are for two fridge/freezer units, 3 are for temperatures at 3 distinct locations inside my motorhome, and the balance are to.monitor areas in the "basement"of the motorhome that I do not want to freeze.during sold.weather.
I know how to ask for the Outdoor temperature but cannot find how to ask the temperature for individual sensors or preferably have Alexa read a group I sensor data to me. Is that possible? If not, will that detail ever be available?
What are your plans for Apple HomeKit support?
I’d like to see this feature as well. I have the Atlas Pro and 7 additional sensors. I have 3 in the “basement”of our bus. They monitor the water bay for freezing temps. Thanks for your consideration.
When setting up Access with Weather Underground, when asked for “PASSWORD” you actually insert the Weather Underground “KEY” and NOT Password. It will drive you nuts if you didn’t know this! Your Welcome :)
I would also like to see homekit compatability. This is our current deciding factor in upgrading.
