. . . shortened
Last time I had it connected was with an ambient weather station using the gw1000 but was told I don’t need it anymore since i am using a Tempest station. Sorry if this is confusing just wanted someone to explain it a bit
More to me how the tempest and meteobridge see each other.
Meteobridge WiKi =>
WeatherFlowAIR, SKY and the new all-in-one TEMPEST stations are supported. Meteobridge connects to the HUB delivered with the AIR/SKY/TEMPEST units and reads out data via the local LAN/WLAN.The Tempest outside sensor array communicates with the inside Tempest/WeatherFlow hub using their own protocol.
That Tempest/WeatherFlow hub will be connected to your in-house
WiFi network when you install the device.
Your WiFi network is also "part" of your in-house LAN and therefor connected to the internet.
Your Tempest/WeatherFlow hub can upload the Tempest weather data to the Tempest website.
And the hub can deliver the Tempest weather data to any device on your
LAN/WLAN if requested by such devices.
Your Meteobridge is already on your LAN.
Normal WiFi uses the same network addressing as your LAN so the Meteobridge can communicate with devices on your WiFi network including the Tempest hub.
Your Metebridge should find the
IP-address of the Tempest hub by itself.
Off topic:
If, in the future, you want to add other sensors you can still use your GW1000 as the Meteobridge can communicate with 5 weather-stations at the same time. I also already did an IP reservation for the meteobridge so incase there’s a reboot the IP won’t change.
Any advise or explaination will be greatly appreciated.
If possible instruct your router to give the Tempest/WeatherFlow hub also a fixed IP-address.
Succes,
Wim
