Quick survey for Tempest owners

You always want to support multiple sensors on one hub. I would argue you should support multiple Air+Sky as well in any combination (or quantity per hub).

I’m assuming you’re just going to tear apart the JSON per the API for Splunk. The Air/Sky JSON is ‘very’ close to the Tempest JSON. It would be very little work to support all the gear that is out there.

Slow poke. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: I put mine up about 10 minutes after it arrived. :smile:

My wife said, “And what is this one for?” Not sure what she’ll say when the Storm & Fire ready one shows up. :rofl:

Right now, it supports multiple Tempest sensors on a single hub. I think it’ll also support multiple hubs, but I’m not sure since I don’t have multiple hubs.

If I had some sample data from Air and Sky units, I could add support for those devices.

Assuming you’re reading the UDP messages, just look at obs_air and obs_sky and tweak how you process obs_st (which is really the two old sensor observations combined essentially). It can definitely be done by inspection of the API.

Here’s some sample data from a while back, but the API doesn’t change that much. Look at the JSON in this section…

How many Lithium batteries are needed to keep the 2nd mortgage running ?:moneybag: :slight_smile:

One early Sky unit eats 8 of them a month when I want to feed it. Seriously though, look at my Amazon purchase history for 12-packs and see for yourself:

Each package is $16. All in the name of science…

Holy cats… (and here’s some filler to get over 20 characters…yeesh, what a dumb “feature”)

Geez… so Amazon will go bankrupt now that you’re not ordering batteries from them anymore :slight_smile:

Too much of a noob to know how to do that? Seriously, though…I did look for that option.
