I have a weatherflow tempest. It works great and reports data to the cloud by itself and sends the data directly to Wunderground without a PC. But, I would like to use this PC program to send the data to the other networks. I have tried to configure in the control panel the weather station type. Here is what I have set: https://is.gd/YXrUyh
But, the program still does not seem to update and pull data from my Weatherflow unit, see: https://is.gd/N02HFQ
Has anyone ever been able to get this connection to work?
It’s not clear to me what it is you’re trying to do…
Generally speaking, the idea is to have WD collect the data from your station. Once that is setup you would then have WD send the data to other networks as desired. In your screen grabs you setup WD to get the data from your Tempest, but then set WD to be stationless.
Is your intent to have Tempest send direct to WU and then have WD download the data from WU and send the data to other networks? That makes no sense to me when WD is by far the better choice for collecting, maintaining, and disseminating your Tempest data.
Like I say, it’s not clear to me what it is your attempting to do…can you provide more details on what it is you’re trying to accomplish?
I was finally able to get this to work. I was trying to pull data from the Weatherflow unit into Weatherdata and then upload it to the various networks. No matter how many times I tried to set the station type, it didn’t set. But once the program was closed and reopened, it set. So I guess that needs to be made clear, that a restart is needed.
Newbie looking to better understand how to connect W-D to the Weatherflow Tempest- there is no data out port on the Tempest hub, so how does it pull the weather info? Also- now that RPis are finally becoming more and more available…is there an install guide (Youtube?) video on how to install W-D on a Raspberry Pi? Thanks!
WD gets Tempest data from the web. On the Station setup page you enter your station ID (there is a video) and find your sensor IDs. There have been a few changes recently so it might be worth looking at this thread.
