Is it possible to connect a Tempest unit to a marine network, perhaps via UDP –>> Ethernet or UDP –>> NMEA 0183 or NMEA 2000?
The Weatherflow UDP Protocol and the NMEA protocols have different data formats for weather data, though they share the UDP transport layer. You need to have a device on your boat network running something like a SignalK server with a WeatherFlow Protocol converter to do the necessary protocol translation. If you’re comfortable doing a bit of tinkering on your own, it may not be too bad.
(Edit: my fault; that github package is not a direct protocol converter, but instead fetches the data from weatherflow’s API. It would only work if you have a network connection, and your station registered where the boat is currently located. However, it does give you the framework to build your own protocol converter, if you’re so inclined).
Thanks, that gets me started. Appreciated.
Weatherflow Tempest does expose its data via UDP on a local LAN w/o having to go over the net to their API. I was already beginning to look at SignalK.
