Tempest Integrations

Put Your Weather to Work

The Tempest Home Weather System enables users to integrate outside environmental information into smart home tech, third-party apps, and other services. Use your Tempest data to adjust your irrigation schedule based on the rain that’s fallen or the rain that’s forecast to fall. Turn on ceiling fans if the temperature is high, or configure freeze alerts to help protect your outdoor passion projects. With Tempest, you can turn your smart home into a genius!

Rachio

The Tempest Weather System measures and reports the weather directly from your yard, making it the perfect companion for the Rachio Smart Sprinkler Controller. Users can integrate their Tempest data to inform Rachio features like Rain Skip, Wind Skip, Freeze Skip, and more! See at least 20% more efficient watering with a sprinkler system that responds to your weather. Learn more about the Tempest integration with Rachio.

IFTTT

Link your Tempest account to IFTTT and use your weather data to trigger actions in hundreds of other apps & products, including Twitter, Dropbox, Nest, Fitbit, Honeywell, and more.

Amazon Alexa

With the WeatherFlow Smart Weather skill for Alexa, you can access data from your weather station by just asking Alexa.

Siri

You can configure Siri Shortcuts by going to Settings -> Siri Shortcuts. Two shortcuts are provided: Current Conditions and Detailed Current Conditions. Both will display the same UI elements, however, they differ in the length of Siri’s spoken response. If you have more than one station, you can choose which station you would like to use while configuring the shortcut (and you can configure a shortcut for each station if you want). For more advanced users, the Current Conditions output is available in the Shortcuts app.

Google Home

Link your Tempest account to your Google Home smart speaker and then you can ask Google Assistant for the current conditions and forecast for your station’s location. See the Integrations section in the Tempest app for more details.
Note: Only the English-speaking option is currently available. If you have multiple stations on your account, Google Assistant will return the first station on the account.

WeatherBug

Go beyond local weather data to understand conditions from your own backyard with the WeatherBug Tempest Network. Use your Tempest weather station as the data source for WeatherBug’s Observations feature. You can even share your station’s weather data with other WeatherBug app users and view other Tempest stations.

Weather Underground

Join a community of more than 250,000 weather enthusiasts sharing their personal weather station data on Weather Underground. Your Tempest data can be viewed in Weather Underground’s app by following the instructions here >>>

Flexible API

Integration with your smart home technology is simple but even more complex integrations are possible with our rich set of developer tools. The Tempest System exposes a collection of self-service APIs and documentation that make it easy for developers to build apps and integrations that access data on behalf of a Tempest station owner.
