This is a custom-built display for the WeatherFlow Tempest weather station. You MUST own a WeatherFlow Tempest or Air/Sky, or have the ability to obtain the required WeatherFlow API key from a family member or friend. Home WiFi is also needed for wireless operation.
One of the biggest complaints about the
WeatherFlow Tempest is that there is no dedicated display. This device solves
this problem by providing a convenient, well-organized summary of all
weather data from the Tempest weather station. Weather data is updated
every one minute with rapid wind updates as soon as every 3 seconds. The WeatherFlow Air is optional for indoor temperatures.
The WeatherFlow Pi Console displays the following information provided by your Tempest:
- Outdoor temperature with dew point, humidity, and feels like temperature
- Indoor temperature if you have the WeatherFlow Air
- Outdoor and indoor (only with the Air module) daily min and max values along with the time of occurrence
- Outdoor temperature 24-hour difference and hourly temperature trend
- Wind speed (average, lull, and gust) with direction (degrees and cardinal) provided by 3-second rapid wind updates
- Daily maximum wind gust and daily average speed
- Barometer with atmospheric pressure, pressure trend, current condition, and daily min and max values
- Rainfall totals for today, yesterday, month, and year
- When raining, see the precipitation rate and description (light, moderate, heavy, etc)
- Lightning time and distance since the last strike
- Lightning strike totals for the last 3 hours, today, yesterday, month, and year
- Solar radiation and UV index
- Sunrise/sunset times and number of hours until dawn and sunset
- Moonrise and moonset times, moon phase, and date of next full moon and new moon
- Your specific Hourly forecast provided by WeatherFlow
- Location-specific Sager Weathercaster forecast
- Setting screen to change time/date formats and display units
- Screen layout can be changed by editing the configuration file
This 7" touchscreen weather display is based on the Raspberry Pi 4 and the free, open-source WeatherFlow Pi Console software. The display can be placed on a desk, table, countertop, etc. The display can also be VESA mounted. This model has a fan attached to the back, but it can be removed, and the fan-less back plate can be installed.
All Raspberry Pi 4 ports are 100% accessible. The micro-SD card is not accessible.
The display measures about 8.75" x 5.75" (base plate: 7" x 4.1").
You will receive the display unit pictured and a 5v 4A power supply.
After purchase, I can set up the display for you if you would like. You will need to send me some information about your Tempest. Once you receive the display unit, use the on-screen keyboard to connect to your home Wi-Fi. You can also connect the display to a wired network if you wish.
Please ask any questions you may have.
