Hi,

I would love to see an increased wind sampling option (1s or realtime) available, when Tempest is connected to the Power Booster accessory.  
In this case power saving considerations, should be obsolete or marginal.

Regards

Absolutely!  
It’s not uncommon for ultrasonic wind sensors to sample at 10Hz in order to provide a max value over the send interval. So even if your display is only updated once per minute (in the case of cellular), for example, you don’t miss out on max and gust values. A realtime display with 2Hz update would be nice to watch during pulse thunderstorms which can produce gusts in excess of 100 mph in these regions.
