The Cat’s Meow – Pretty Cool Plug-in and Feature Rich

March 6, 2022
Purchased a Tempest weather station for our business, which is short term rental management. We wanted to offer to our clients local weather, especially during our winter season. Tempest has decent software, but it's not all that user friendly in terms of availability from a Word Press site. I wondered why they did not off it and now I know, they point their clients to this plug-in. I installed Weather station plug-in and within a few hours, had it up and running. It took me a bit to figure out how to configure it. In terms of how it worked, it exceeded my expectations. There are so may ways to display real time data, historical data, and calculated data values. This first pass was just to get an idea of how it works, but I can see myself building this out more over time. The result is excellent and it looks good on a cell phone. 25 years ago, I installed over 150 weather stations worldwide at industrial sites with full data acquisition for $1000's of dollars. What the Tempest provides in conjuction with this software is every bit as good as those towers. I am speaking from a personal acquisition, not sure how the Tempest would hold up on the industrial environments of chemical plants. The Tempest being solid state with solar charging is a bonus to, set it up and forget about it. Needless to say, I'm excited about having this plug-in to work with and evolve over time.

Amazing Plugin that doesn’t totally work

June 30, 2021
Love this Plugin - well thought through and great features. If only it worked "with all stations on Ambient Weather" as claimed like the WS-5000 and a few others. It doesn't and that plus being ignored for help, it wins a Two Star rating. Requests for tech help on forum and direct messaging to developer has gone unanswered (not even a simple "I'll take a look at it"). Don't want to hear about "I've got a job and a life"... yeah, we all do. Just let your users know you are interested. Because I know how much work goes into creating these types of plugins, I was going to make a nice donation for 5 stars because free stuff should be supported well for the hard work. Great job, but you fell way short on support. New Ambient station users: move on, you'll get frustrated.

Très bon plugin

J'utilise ce plugin pour retranscrire les données de ma station personnelle Vantage Vue. Le plugin utilise le fichier realtime.txt généré par Cumulus MX. Tout fonctionne très bien, je suis très contente. Merci.

Doesn’t work

Pulls the wrong outdoor temperature from Ambient weather if you have any additional sensors (like the temp/hum one). I posted on the support forum weeks ago and it got ignored so, it doesn't work at all. 'tempf' is the right one from JSON and reports correctly, no idea what WS3 is pulling.
