Teapot for Tempest

More than tripled my reported wind speeds. Everything went back to normal the second I deleted the app.

Update: I used Teapot to repurpose an iPad Air 2 as the main display for my Tempest station. The prefs include a setting to keep the iPad awake when the app is running—and so I have a big, beautiful, informative display that is always available. I figure the iPad has several more years of life now! [ORIGINAL REVIEW] This app compared to the Tempest app is like stepping out from the grayscale of Kansas to the Technicolor of Oz. Incredibly impressive use of screen space to display almost all of Tempest’s data in one place, and well differentiated. You will continue to want both apps, as Teapot does not yet display historical data in the form of graphs. Setup was relatively easy, but make it easier on yourself by keeping the instructions for retrieving your sensor’s information handy. Well done!

I love it except for a glitch I had. It kept telling me the wrong station is but it wasn’t. Did it again same result. However it does connect to my station and looks great. Was able to swap the dewpoint and humidity as that more important to me than the humidity reading, which still shows just smaller. It does not give the forecast, maybe because it thinks the wrong station id? It would be nice to be able to offset the temperature and humidity as the Tempest does not. My temperature is accurate but humidity runs high as seems the Tempest typically does from looking at others. Since this is just my display should be able to show it correctly by an offset when needed. However overall very happy with it!

Easy to install and configure, no issues whatsoever and love the look and performance! Paid subscriber within 1 hour of installation and happy! This product and program will be replacing a 20 + year old Davis setup that offers less information than Tempest and Teapot! WELL DONE!

Can’t even tell if it works without paying for the subscription. Nothing in the app tells you this; it’s buried in the website under the setup instructions. Tempest sends UDP announcements that this app could be using as well but there’s no indication that it’ll do that and no way to tell without paying. Nope.

I have followed all the steps offered from the Teapot help page and the app is still not functioning properly. It is not reading data from my Tempest even though the test connection feature says everything is fine. Not at all sure what I’m missing here but it’s not working.

I just downloaded this app and it’s beautiful. The bright colors and layout appeal to me. I love the data on the Home Screen and the additional radar feature that is not part of the tempest app. I’m not in the habit of paying for apps but the cost is reasonable so I did. My only complaint so far is that there isn’t a widget for my Home Screen. I will update if anything changes.

Just installed a Tempest and this app crashes within a fraction of a second of clicking on anything within the app. Deleted and reinstalled and it’s still doing the same thing. It simply doesn’t work (iPad Pro on iOS 17.2). If it’s fixed and I am able to use the app, I will revise my rating and review. UPDATE: The latest version has resolved my issue of immediate crashes, and it has a very nice display of graphics. However, clicking the Forecast button yields a blank page. I’ve tried to switch the settings for the number of days forecast and that doesn’t fix it. The app is definitely moving in the right direction.

This app looks great and is a big upgrade from the standard Tempest app. We have it on an old 1st gen 12.9” iPad, now serving as a dedicated display in our kitchen. The bright colors, large fonts, and organized screen layout makes getting a quick read on the current weather easy. The setup was quick and the connection worked the first time, but you’ll need to actually read and follow the directions. I’d love to see some documentation showing what the various numbers mean. I can guess which is the “feels like” temp but I’d like to know for sure what each number means. I’d also like history and stats. This is a great start but since I’m paying for a subscription (worth it already) I’m hoping some of these additional features will eventually be added.

I was looking for a Tempest Weather screen for my iPad, and came across this Teapot (great naming, btw!). I had a couple of glitches with the station ID not being recognized, so I left it a day, deleted all API keys, rest from scratch and it worked today. Overall - I think the display is cool. I favor a tech-heavy console with lots of data. I would like more documentation on what the multiple rows of data are for e.g. temp, humidity, but I hope the app author will read this and add more details to the app posting. Things I would like? Graphing and trending. Historical data replay. More details on the battery status and charge / discharge per day, to correlate good UV with positive charge. I’d also like to see what *every* stat would look like on the screen! But - GREAT JOB with this app so far, and well worth the subscription. Kudos!
