I just received my new Tempest and Im testing it up inside the house. The app is displaying a forecast and current temperature of -4C and the tempest is sitting inside at 22C. What did I miss? Why isnt is displaying simple live sensor readings?

Does the screen you are looking at show the icon the arrow is pointing at in the screenshot? That screen will show what it thinks the predicted temperature for your location if there are problems communicate with your Tempest. If you click on that icon, you should get a screen that shows what temperature is being received from the Tempest. I suspect that there is soemthing wrong with the setup … or the battery does not have enough of a charge to effectively communicate, or something like that.
