Hey guys, I know WeatherFlow had original announced there would be a “remote kit” option for tempest. I assume it would use cellular transmission to send data. I like the idea of being able to mount a unit outside of WiFi range. The location options would be endless. Has anyone heard anything else…

Thanks, I got into the game late and purchased right from their website. I wasn’t involved in the Kickstarter or indigogo. Glad to hear it’s still in the works.

Just to clarify - the link from the Tempest to the hub is not WiFi. I assume what is being considered would be a hub with cellular data as a backhaul option or in place of the WiFi connection.

Thanks all for the info! Once the pro system is available I’ll definitely add one to my list!

Anyone have any idea when the pro hub and related equipment will be available? I know it’s still under development. Thanks!

October 2020 at the soonest, last I heard.
