WeatherFlow PiConsole is a Python console that will display the data collected by a WeatherFlow Tempest or Smart Home Weather Station. The console uses the WeatherFlow REST API and websocket to stream data from your station in real time via the internet, including the 3-second rapid wind updates.
The console is fully supported for Raspberry Pi 3 Model B/B+ and Raspberry Pi 4 running the the 32 bit version of Raspberry Pi OS. It can be run on earlier models or the 64 bit version of Raspberry Pi OS, but no direct support is provided for these environments. It can also be run on a PC/laptop with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS or Raspberry Pi OS. It is not compatible with Raspberry Pi Zero, Zero W or Pico. For full compatibility details, see below.
