Use Your Own HDMI Display -- Create a Weather Display for WeatherFlow Tempest

Description: You can turn your HDMI-enabled monitor or TV into a weather display for your WeatherFlow Tempest. Sounds intriguing, doesn't it? Keep on reading for more details. But first, you MUST own a WeatherFlow Tempest or Air/Sky, or have the ability to obtain the required WeatherFlow API key from a family member or friend. You also MUST own an HDMI-enabled monitor or TV and have a home network established (wired or wireless will work.) One of the biggest complaints about the WeatherFlow Tempest is that there is no dedicated display. This device solves this problem by providing a convenient, well-organized summary of all weather data from the Tempest weather station. Weather data is updated every one minute with rapid wind updates as soon as every 3 seconds. The WeatherFlow Air is optional for indoor temperatures. All data is displayed on your monitor or TV for convenient viewing. Note, the display will not be touch sensitive unless you use a touch screen monitor. The WeatherFlow Pi Console displays the following information provided by your Tempest:Outdoor temperature with dew point, humidity, and feels like temperature Indoor temperature if you have the WeatherFlow AirOutdoor and indoor (only with the Air module) daily min and max values along with the time of occurrenceOutdoor temperature 24-hour difference and hourly temperature trend Wind speed (average, lull, and gust) with direction (degrees and cardinal) provided by 3-second rapid wind updatesDaily maximum wind gust and daily average speedBarometer with atmospheric pressure, pressure trend, current condition, and daily min and max values Rainfall totals for today, yesterday, month, and yearWhen raining, see the precipitation rate and description (light, moderate, heavy, etc)Lightning time and distance since the last strikeLightning strike totals for the last 3 hours, today, yesterday, month, and yearSolar radiation and UV indexSunrise/sunset times and number of hours until dawn and sunsetMoonrise and moonset times, moon phase, and date of next full moon and new moonYour specific Hourly forecast provided by WeatherFlowLocation-specific Sager Weathercaster forecastSetting screen to change time/date formats and display unitsScreen layout can be changed by editing the configuration fileNew: 1, 4, or 6-panel screen layoutNew: Internet connection optional (LAN connection still required -- either wired or wireless) This weather display device is based on the Raspberry Pi 4, Raspbian Bookworm OS, and the open-source WeatherFlow Pi Console software. The software was recently updated to version 26.2.1. All Raspberry Pi pins, ports, and the micro USB slot are fully accessible The computer board has aluminum heat sinks attached. For the initial setup, you will need to connect a keyboard and mouse to the device via the USB port. Once setup is complete, the mouse and keyboard are no longer required during normal operation. However, I keep an old wireless mouse and keyboard attached to my weather device all the time. Since this device is not touchscreen-capable, the mouse comes in handy at times. The case measures about 3-7/8" x 2-3/4" x 1-5/8" You will receive the weather-displaying device, a 5.1v 3A power supply (for the U.S.) with USB-C connector, and a 3 foot HDMI cable. Suggested installations: I have my weather display device and my desktop PC attached to my monitor via a monitor-sharing switch. With the press of a button, I can see the weather conditions. Another press and I'm back to my computer screen. The weather display can also be attached to one of your Tv's HDMI inputs -- see weather conditions from the comfort of the couch right from your TV remote. After purchase, I can set up the display device for you if you would like. You will need to send me some information about your Tempest. Once you receive the display unit, use a keyboard and mouse to connect to your home Wi-Fi. You can also connect the display to a wired network if you wish. I am able to preset your WiFi settings if you want so the device will work immediately out of the box. Please ask any questions you may have.
