Connecting your Tempest WeatherFlow device to TRMNL takes just a few seconds.
Step 1 - Visit the Tempest Weather Station plugin
Inside TRMNL, navigate to Plugins > Tempest Weather Station.
Click to "Connect with Tempest Weather Station" on the right side of the screen.
Step 2 - Connect Tempest
You'll be redirected to the tempestwx.com website. Log in and then approve TRMNL's data access request.
This is "read only" and will not modify any settings or stations on your account.
If for some reason the above screen does not appear, but instead yields "Unknown Application" like below, try switching to a desktop computer (if on a phone) or to Google Chrome (if on Safari).
Step 3 - Configure Plugin
Select which Tempest Station's weather data you want to display on your TRMNL device, as well as the measurement format for a few metrics.
Click Save in the top-right once configured!
Set the Refresh Rate
On the right-sidebar, some new options are visible, but most importantly, the refresh rate option:
This determines how often our servers fetch new data from your weather station, independent of how frequently your TRMNL device's screen refreshes, set in your playlist.
Adjust as desired and click Save again.
Step 4 (optional) - Tracking Multiple Stations
If you'd like to capture weather from multiple stations, and perhaps combine it on a single screen, create multiple instances of this plugin and then generate a Mashup to see them all together.
In the example above, 2 stations in nearby locations are shown side by side.
Step 5 - You're Done!
Based on your device's refresh settings, you'll begin seeing Tempest Weather Station forecasts very soon.
Stay focused.
