V3 & WeatherFlow

On Friday, I received the WeatherFlow Tempest unit I had ordered way back in early December. I never had an Air/Sky unit beforehand, but read about the false alerts surrounding the previous haptic sensor. So far, the Tempest has performed as expected and I haven’t experienced any false readings.

I came here to let folks know that once the Tempest is integrated into Weather Underground, a process that took roughly 30 minutes to complete, I was able to select my individual PWS via the Rachio app. The process was quick and easy. The end result is that our Rachio V3 is now using the real weather data provided by the Tempest on our property to make its calculations.

We love our Rachio!

Thanks for the update.
Contemplating on purchasing (debating between Netatmo and Tempest). Will be my first PWS. How do you have your Tempest mounted if I may ask?

It’s sitting atop a 10 foot long, one inch diameter galvanized pipe. I have it mounted with two brackets onto a concrete column on the second floor of our terrace. The Tempest unit sits 22 feet above ground level and is extremely sturdy. The installation is a bit overkill, but I wanted to mitigate any chance for vibrations. We also get a lot of thunderstorms and hurricanes here in South Florida, so I wanted to make sure we were prepared for whatever comes our way.

@Gene so sorry to be a pest, but if you can, would you please add my station information as well?
Still have a Gen2 rachio, so can’t use WU PWSs directly.

Thanks in advance!

@jrapoport Just a heads-up that with your Tempest, you can use the shorter URL:

https://tempestwx.com/station/18959

…or…

https://tempestwx.com/station/18959/grid

@ZoneOne seems the links are not limited to Tempest, older Air & Sky stations are showing up as well.
