That looks like it doesn't have any local-first functionality? Their API documentation only talks about how to retrieve data from their server, even if you are just trying to get the data from your own station.


The device has an API, as does their "Hub" that reports the device to cloud. You may find tools under different names like tempestwx or etc.

That said, the point of this system is microcell climate computation, and it works best when part of the public grid of sampling points.


Does it? I couldn't find any documentation on those features, if you have links to any documentation that doesn't require going through their servers I'd love to see it since I've been looking for something just like that. Everything I have found, even for querying a single devices, requires making a request to swd.weatherflow.com via an internet connection.

EDIT: I was eventually able to find this: https://apidocs.tempestwx.com/reference/tempest-udp-broadcas...

So it is possible to get the data locally, but it seems like they are pretty strongly discouraging its use.


Having said that, there's plenty of people using this method[1]. I particularly like the work this person did presenting that data in Grafana[2].

Thanks for those links, I'll check them out!
