If you're a WeatherFlow user, definitely subscribe to their forums and check in there occasionally. The whole history of how the units evolved and info on what their weak/strong points are is located there, as is help and info from their support and engineering and beta tester folks (past beta tester here...)
FWIW - I found rain (for me near Seattle) hopelessly inaccurate, but the other sensors lined up ok with my VP2 and Ecowitt and roll-my-own sensor gear. Watch for your Tempest reading high on hot calm days as the case heats up in the sun and holds that heat after the sun goes down. I personally kinda liked the old Air (in the shade for temp+hum) and Sky (in the sun for wind+rain) setup better. I would disagree with the comment about "silence politics". They've proven to be rather open from what I've seen since the original Air+Sky were in beta, but yes it would be nice to know what (and if, and how much) they're tuning, as many people including me have asked. We also have asked for a long time to have more control on tunings being on/off as well. I saw one item in a public forum saying they have over 30,000 units online, so it'll be interesting to watch if their support structure and Internet-based architecture scales up. I know there are many many happy users even with the known issues with the gear itself (inaccurate rain, no long-awaited AA-backed power booster available yet to get sites through the dark winter). They seem to have a lot of hardware failures but hopefully that's growing pains. You only hear the "mine is broken" complaints and not the huge "yup still works" of course. Their support is great at working with the users to debug and replace questionable gear as things appear. At a minimum, they're overtly trying hard which is a big plus for me vs. dealing with most other companies. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
