Weather Flow data to a Facebook page for a morning weather forecast

Hi folks. Sorry for the delay. Just saw this one.

Neat! Well done! I’m sure a lot of folks will find that useful.

Actually, this kind of sharing is encouraged! It’s more or less the equivalent of our “share page”. That said, this does look like it technically violates our terms (see below) because it doesn’t provide any credit or attribution back to WeatherFlow-Tempest (as far as I can tell). But that can be fixed by adding a link to our website or our Facebook page or Instagram or Twitter. Or better yet: add a link to the share page of the station to which the data applies. @mabeatty1978, that might help readers of your feed and we’d sure appreciate it!

Right, if you’re pulling data directly from the local hardware (via UDP or BLE or however else you do it), you’re welcome to do whatever you want with that. However, here we’re talking about data that’s pulled from the remote Tempest API, which is a lot more than just what comes off any single piece of hardware.

Here are a couple public pages for you:

WeatherFlow-Tempest Non-commercial Terms of Use (hard to read, written by actual lawyers)

Remote Data Access Usage Policy (more legible for most people, although lawyers edited this one too)
