Can you please leave the current app as is for professional weather users and set aside the tempest interface for the different market you are apparently targeting with the tempest system
You have done a commendable perfect job with the current app
There is no need to change nothing as it is perfect
Easy to read at a glance and to monitor
Clean and simple
Focus on data which is what we want in a weather station
The new interface you are showing in way to busy and Impossible to read st a glance
Thank you
Th existing app is as close to perfection as one could want with the rapid fire updates
suprised none of you saw this coming go all the way back to november 2019 newsletter … weatherflow acquired the media brand tempest , dont think anything will change in terms of existing sky/air owners its now a product thats been superseded.not sure but i cant confirm if your sky/air data is interpreted into the forecast it would be a somewhat big mistake if it were to be as the data could be somewhat misleading , be it positioning of the sky/air not meeting specific requirements,standards so i would imagine that would screw up a modelling system if that data was not monitored or were to be used . personally i dont see any changes for existing sky/air users as it quotes you can switch to normal display . think its all positive news and obviously seperating the professional branding of weatherflow is good move .
ps admins dark theme totally unuseable in open daylight on led based devices … good luck but what do we call you now tempest or weatherflow …
nope not particularly interested the current app meets my requirements as i only use the air for lightning notifications the rest i have no faith in the data sadly.
I don’t think it is fair to claim that WeatherFlow are targeting a different market with the Tempest compared to their original Smart Weather Station Air/Sky. Neither have ever been marketed as “professional” level devices. While I am sure you are aware that WeatherFlow does provide professional level technology (TempestOne Professional Weather Solutions | Tempest by WeatherFlow), their Smart Weather Stations are consumer grade devices.
Sorry to say, but you are both missing the point here. The screenshot WeatherFlow shared was of the new forecast view. The original station view is still available according to the original post:
When clicking the upper right button is all of the original functionality exactly there?
All data points present
Wind data updates every 3 seconds remotely
Temperature to tenths xx.x
All graphing options
All advanced status options
The email sent yesterday does not address any of this.
Still it is not good to see the app moving from a perfect concise display for Meteorological professionals and weather enthusiasts down to a cluttered hard to read icon overloaded interface where the data points are secondary to frivolous icons.
I hope the original trusted app will still work and the download of the new app can be skipped in the App Store.
I would be willing to pay a monthly fee to keep the professional quality app.
Once things started going down the Tempest route, I finally agreed with what Davis instruments told me when they actually laughed at me on a support call when I compared the weather flow system to their vantage pro. They said I would be lucky to get a 1 year of service out of the WeatherFlow system
Is it a correct understanding that WeatherFlow will not sell this equipment to a private user but instead owns these stations and sites and maintains them solely by WeatherFlow?
Thanks. That may be a better option to consider where year old Flow Skys are starting to exhibit some issues pointing towards needing a replacement
Agreed. I think the company, WeatherFlow has actually improved and made the product simpler. It’s the same market and much the same product, just made to be easier to install.
I don’t think I’m stepping out of bounds here but for those in a panic over the Tempest app, here is a screen shot of the other screen with a SKY+AIR.
A coworker with an android checked and I logged into the app with my account and these panels are no longer there. The wind also no longer updates every 3 seconds on the home page
