N/A — AcuRite, a maker of smart weather-monitoring devices, announced that its My AcuRite app will not be available after May 30, 2026, and that device owners must transition to the AcuRite NOW app before that date. The company began emailing customers last month informing them of the deadline.

The My AcuRite iOS and Android app launched in 2016 and primarily functioned as a weather-station cloud dashboard providing app and web access to weather data. AcuRite NOW was released in June 2025 and is built on a newer cloud-connected platform intended to serve as a broader, connected-device platform.

"The technology behind My AcuRite is obsolete and can no longer be maintained," Jeff Bovee, AcuRite's vice president of product development, said. The underlying technology of My AcuRite was limited for long-term app development, modern cloud services, smart home integration, and support for newer connected devices, and maintaining both apps is not sustainable for the company due to cost and long-term supportability.

"Even if [My AcuRite] continues to function for many users, the underlying systems require ongoing maintenance, updates, hosting, monitoring, security support, and compatibility work as phones, operating systems, cloud services, and third-party integrations continue to change," he said. When AcuRite retired the older platform, it removed the online dashboard that let users manage their devices through a web browser. The company is planning a new web-based dashboard for AcuRite NOW but has not confirmed a release date.

AcuRite NOW supports mobile-first app development, cloud-based feature updates, longer weather data history, user account management, device pairing, and notifications. It works with thousands of products in Tuya's SmartLife IoT ecosystem, including third-party fans, thermostats, light bulbs, plugs, cameras, and motorized blinds. The AcuRite Now+ subscription starts at $2 per month and includes 365 days of data storage instead of 30 days. Unlike My AcuRite, which supported data sharing with Weather Underground for free, AcuRite NOW charges a subscription fee to share data with that service.

Some customers have complained online that they are unable to rename multiple temperature sensors in AcuRite NOW, that the app only reports temperatures in whole numbers, and that they have had difficulties uploading data to weather sites. According to a support page, AcuRite is working on adding the ability to rename multiple sensors, organize on-screen sensors, and report non-integer temperatures, as well as a desktop version of the app.
