WeatherFlow Tempest Variables

The WeatherFlow Plug-in creates a list of variables (see photo)

Does anyone know what is populating the data?
How can I use the data since these are not in the Indigo pull-down menus for schedules etc?
All my prefs are set to ºF, but these numbers are not

Re: WeatherFlow Tempest Variables

If you explain what you want to use the data for, we can explain how to do it.

I want to place var data on a control page, but the data appears to be ºC

Where is this var data coming from and how do I get it into ºF? The plug-in's config is set to ºF

Re: WeatherFlow Tempest Variables

Taking a quick look at the code, it looks like the temp conversion is only done for the device states. Not the summary data in the variables.

I'm not sure but it looks like the variables are really there for debugging.

Since this plugin is no longer being maintained, do you know anyone who would be willing to take ownership for the future? These are great weather stations, I highly recommend.

Is there a way, using a Python script, to take a variable ID containing ºC data and convert it into ºF, then insert it into another variable?

I use GhostXML plugin to get data from my Tempest weather stations. I prefer it over the Tempest plugin.

My station reports in degC. When the GhostXML device state changes I have a trigger that puts the Celsius temperature into a variable and a python script that converts to Fahrenheit and puts into a second variable. I display both variables on my control page. I also display the date and time it was last updated.

If you need more info let me know.

Cheers

Re: WeatherFlow Tempest Variables

That sounds like a great idea. I'll have to do some playing around with mine.
