After many years of use this stopped working - can I connect seams like the hub
I’ve been using this weather station for almost a year, and my experience has been excellent. The installation was simple, and the data it provides is very accurate and consistent day to day. I only had one issue during this time, but Tempest’s support team was outstanding. They responded quickly and sent me a replacement station at no cost, which really shows how much they stand behind their product. It’s a reliable, well-designed system with top-notch customer support. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quality weather station.
I love my Tempest weather station. It integrates really well with Home Assistant and Alexa for hyperlocal forecasting. But the app is really in need of a makeover. It looks like it was made for iPhone 3G… things are arranged properly and it never crashes which is great, but it’s not using any modern design language. I hope to see better widgets and some Liquid Glass effects in the future.
Would be great to view a tempest with a public URL.
This is a great way to see what the weather is at home and at any other place you might be or want to know. You can save locations in your browser to look at later without having to search the Map. I also have the Light Map. It also has everything on it that is on the Tempest.
Overall a quality weather station for weather nuts, but PLEASE swap the high and low temperatures
Been a user for many years, since WF was in crowdfunding. Love the product and app.
Why does the Apple App Store want me to pay $7.50 to download the app?
Breeze to set up, well designed w/ good interface, & responsive service.
This app and the accompanying weather station work great! Easy to install, configure, and connect to Rachio and Weather Underground. If you want to know your hyper-local weather, this is the way to go!
