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 New: 1, 4, or 6-panel screen layout New: Internet connection optional (LAN connection still required -- either wired or wireless)
This
7" touchscreen weather display is based on the Raspberry Pi 4 and the
free, open-source WeatherFlow Pi Console software. The software was
recently updated to version 23.11.1. The display can be placed on a desk, table, countertop, etc -- or wall-mounted by removing the back panel to expose the two keyhole slots.
All Raspberry Pi 4 ports are accessible in this case.
The display measures about 7.75" x 4.5" x 1.75".
All components were purchased new for the purpose of building this display. You will receive the display unit pictured along with a 5v 4A power supply.
NOTE: This display case requires the screen to be installed upside down (inverted). The image will appear upside down while the Raspberry Pi boots, but the system software will invert the screen image and make it appear upright.
After purchase, I can setup 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, simply 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.
