AcuRite shut down My AcuRite. Siltwell plans your garden around the weather.
On May 30, AcuRite retired the app and moved your station's data to a new platform. That platform has no open way to get your data into the tools you use. Siltwell gives you free garden planning and weather-aware care today. An open upgrade path adds per-bed soil alerts and station-calibrated frost alerts, which AcuRite never offered.
You bought a weather station. Then AcuRite retired the app.
"My AcuRite" is gone, and "AcuRite NOW" replaced it. There's still no open way to pull your own readings into anything else. If you used your station to make garden decisions, those decisions are now harder to make. A station with an open API shares its readings with any app you give its keys to. Your garden then doesn't depend on one company keeping its app running.
Free · no station
Start with Siltwell today. You don't need a station.
Siltwell plans your beds and warns you about crop-rotation and companion conflicts. It tracks your plantings and harvests. It gives watering and frost guidance from your location's forecast, and it estimates your frost dates from ten years of local weather history. All of this is free, with or without a station.

- Frost-date estimate from ten years of local history

Open upgrade path
An open path to the per-bed soil moisture AcuRite never offered.
Per-bed soil moisture tells you which beds to water and which to skip. It needs a station with soil sensors and open data, and AcuRite has neither. The low-cost fix is an Ecowitt gateway and a wireless soil probe. Ecowitt has an open API, so your data stays yours. Its soil sensors are modular, so you can add them one bed at a time. With Pro, Siltwell reads Ecowitt natively. Add an Ecowitt outdoor sensor too, and after about 14 days of readings Siltwell calibrates your frost warnings to your own backyard.
"Can Siltwell read my AcuRite directly?"
No. AcuRite doesn't offer an open API, so Siltwell can't reach your station's readings. AcuRite also has no soil-moisture sensor, so it can't feed per-bed soil alerts. The Ecowitt path above works with Siltwell Pro today. We build on open station APIs, so you can leave anytime and your data stays yours.
