@Lux4rd0 Great work Dave. I’d love to test this but I need to wait for a metric system version. Keep up the great job. I’ve built some grafana dashboards for my Tempest, using data exported by weewx to influxdb, so I can appreciate the amount of work you put into this.

It’s been a little while since I did much updating here! Sorry about that… Grafana has made a lot of updates to its platform, and my dashboards haven’t kept up. Thankfully my collector was running pretty well until some undocumented API changes happened yesterday. I’ve fixed that - but in doing so - I realized just how long it’s been since I’ve made any updates.
The units are a big one! It bothers me as well!! And Grafana is still impossible to change units on the dashboard dynamically. I started building a “search and replace” JSON dashboard utility, but it’s super brittle and doesn’t help much.
Appreciate the feedback - I’ll see about getting some more time here on the project! It needs some updates for sure!!

@Lux4rd0 Still looking forward to starting to use this awesome project of yours! Is an update around the corner? 
I’m currently on another weather system using their API to push to Grafana. I’d like to switch to Tempest, it really does check all the boxes for me, but I need to maintain a Grafana dashboard. Looks like this hasn’t been updated in a while but it might be working ok. What’s the current status as of 2024? Are we at least functional in Grafana?
Thanks!
Hello, @scott9 - both the weatherflow collector and AIO (All in one) work fine with the versions they’re packaged with. It has been a little while since an update - but I’m about to release a brand new version that’s been rewritten from the ground up to be more performant and easier to use. While it’s certainly a personal project of mine - with this update, it should make it a lot easier for others to resuse or collaborate on.

That’s fantastic! Developers like yourself don’t get enough credit for building and maintaining tools like this! I appreciate the quick response as well!
WeatherFlow should take note. I’ll be buying a Tempest because this functionality is available, free (for hobbyists like me) and has volunteer support that’s active.

Tempest is up and running and the Grafana dashboard was super easy to install! The whole experience has been perfect!
I’d be happy to test any adjustments you’re planning on making. Thank you for putting the time into this!
The new release of my WeatherFlow Collector was finally pushed out today!
The dashboards look the same, but I rewrote the entire collector from scratch in Python to make it easier to maintain. But I think I created a monster! LOL. It supports InfluxDB V2 and requires fewer resources to run. It’s built to scale to many devices for other projects I’m working on. I would be happy for any feedback to flush out issues! Thanks!
