## Overview

Tempest Weather System gives your software a physical input. Your home server receives station data through its hub. The linked documentation establishes a control route; the project ideas below are suggestions, not projects we have personally built or tested.

Best for: A live backyard weather board.

Not for: A guaranteed plug-and-play result without the listed setup or accessories.

Where code runs: Your home server receives station data through its hub.

## Project ideas

- A live backyard weather board

- A rain-history visualization

## What you need

- Complete Tempest station and hub, an appropriate outdoor mounting position, Wi-Fi and a home server.

- A laptop and coding agent for writing and reviewing your project

## Compatibility and cautions

- Outdoor mounting and weather exposure need planning. The linked community integration labels itself beta; cloud forecasts require authentication and internet. This is not an emergency weather-warning system.

- Documentation reviewed, not hands-on tested by Atoms for Agents. Generated code needs review before it controls real hardware.

## Creator projects and demos (source-reviewed; not independently hardware-tested)

- [Building a Tempest Weather Station display](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgm5_dZrWv8) — Ryan · TRMNL; Maker video
  Ryan installs a backyard weather station and puts its readings on a dedicated TRMNL e-paper screen, then walks through the plugin and display customization.
  Compatibility (family): Uses a Tempest station and TRMNL display; the display revision is not named. Requires both products, their services, and an outdoor mount. Follow the station's siting guidance rather than copying the tree placement. Made by TRMNL, not an independent review.

## Planning notes (not a replacement for the original technical instructions)

1. **Confirm the exact model**: Match the hardware label and bundle to the linked documentation. Complete Tempest station and hub, an appropriate outdoor mounting position, Wi-Fi and a home server.

2. **Prove the documented connection**: Follow the original guide and run its smallest supported example before asking an agent to extend it. Outdoor mounting and weather exposure need planning. The linked community integration labels itself beta; cloud forecasts require authentication and internet. This is not an emergency weather-warning system.

3. **Build one useful behavior**: Start with a live backyard weather board. Add logging, sensible timeouts and a manual off switch. Your home server receives station data through its hub.

## Coding-agent project brief

Help me plan a live backyard weather board using Tempest Weather System. Read https://github.com/julianbow/TempestHomeAssistant first. Confirm my operating system, exact model, firmware and required accessories. Use only documented capabilities. Start with the smallest reversible test and ask before moving hardware, flashing firmware or changing credentials. Outdoor mounting and weather exposure need planning. The linked community integration labels itself beta; cloud forecasts require authentication and internet. This is not an emergency weather-warning system. Keep secrets out of public code.
