  • Inaccurate

    I have had the unit for about 3 years. Initially it seemed to work fine, but over the last few months o do not trust what it days. Maybe 60 degrees out side and the widget states is -10. Open the app and it may say 5 degrees. Usually worst in the evenings but during the daytime may occur also. Cleaned the unit, turned off and on, disconnected hub and reconnected. Still the same. Don’t know if this is a hardware or software issue. Back to Weatherbug.

    very underwhelmed by the app and station. every time my computer or phone is shut down the app clears my login that I need to manually re-enter. Still has not shown rain and wind seems to be very far off actual.

  • Love my weather station, the watch app not so much

    After years of use, my Tempest still works like its brand new. I couldn’t be happier with it. However, the Apple Watch app is problematic. Periodically, the complication stops showing on my watch face. While annoying, this can typically be fixed by uninstalling and reinstalling it on the watch. After the update yesterday (2/27/25), the complication disappeared and all my usual tricks aren’t working. I can select the app from the watch menu but it won’t display on the face. I really hoping the Tempest team will address this issue soon.

  • Great!

    Just got this. Setup was a breeze. Great support with some questions I reached out about when connecting the system to Rachio. So far very pleased. I will update this if anything changes.

  • Notifications not working

    Love my tempest, however I’ve noticed that notifications don’t fire on any of my devices even though settings are set to allow this. Used to work on all of them last season, but now that lightning and rain have returned for this season, no alerts. I’ve deleted the app and reinstalled, but the notifications still don’t work.

  • I like it

    I really like the device and the app. Although the app’s map display could use some refinement to make maps easier to read. It also would be nice to have a “conditions” watch face widget in the watch app similar to Apple weather. Siri and Apple Home integration would be great too along with reestablishing the Google Home interface.

  • Weather Information in my Backyard

    The Tempest Weather Station and app have been great. I have had it for two weeks now and all is running smoothly. It was an easy install and connecting the app. Great information and history. Only two things I wish it had (and it doesn’t take away from the rating) is the ability to work with Google Assistant and a way to customize the app screen to display the weather information of one’s choice. Will update in a few months. Update: 02/14/25. Thanks to the quick response of the Tempests support staff, I learned that I can modify the screen display. And Google is not currently supporting the Tempests App. They also helped with integration with the Weather Mate app and My Radar app. One month in and going great.

    I looked for a quality weather station for a long time until a friend told me about the Tempest. I am so happy with this station, it is very easy on the eye, super easy to physically install and the software was a total breeze. The Tempest app works perfect not only at home but while away from home it will give you a forecast for the location you are at. Thanks for a great product.

    Love the weather station. The app provides all history data needed and more for a residential owner. Integration with Rachio irrigation works excellent providing accurate weather forecasts at my home instead of relying on forecasts miles away. Great addition when integrating with MyRadar. MyRadar app also works with Apple CarPlay and has an available app for Apple TV. It’s nice to see accurate rain and wind results. Love the addition with the local radar map when rain is expected. Would LOVE to see the Tempest Weather app start working with Apple CarPlay and also have an available app for Apple TV. Also, integration with Apple HomeKit, Lutron Caseta Wireless and Honeywell Resideo so smart home items display accurate weather and respond accordingly.

    I had high hopes for this system when I asked for it as a Christmas gift. I have been disappointed with the app and the weather station. The app is not reliable when it comes to location services. It frequently will not display current or saved locations and displays a server connection error. This happens several times a week, even after deleting and reinstalling the app.
