Tempest stations are trash compared to Davis and other far more reliable/accurate offerings.

Shame we never got a weather station app for the T3/T4s like the old Extra Vegetables Cumulus driver.

I do have v2 and it does self setup pretty well...but second or third time this has happened. I will reserve them all IPs and hope that works better. Thanks! 

Isn't this driver supposed to self-heal on IP address changes? 

Mine doesnt seem to. 

Is it a manual setting that needs turned on?

Using all Kasa devices. Outdoor dual plug KP400, KL130,  and multiple HS103s.

Thanks.

Did I read somewhere if you change your dealer of record at any point it will prompt a need to use/pay for the connect service?

Not sure if you can buy the charger setup as a seperate SKU# or not......

Doesn't need to be true outdoor as it is under roof and always under cover when not in use.

Looking to spend 750-1250. Looking at 55-65". 

Need something that does decent with reflections/sun.

Currently considering Samsung QN90 series after this article.

Thanks!

....or are there Amazon off-brand options?

So many people posting on FB tempest groups about inaccurate readings (rain, wind, lightning). 

I have the app on both new phones and they do NOT show on that list.

They show under devices.. 

They do NOT show under my automation/notifications/devices

Under just devices its show our current phones and iPad, but none of those three are on the other list. 

On customer.control4.com under my automation/notifications and devices I only have two devices showing and one is an old phone. 

How do I add devices to this?

None of my cameras will load via 4sight to fullscreen the last month or some. The small icon comes up on the main page. 

What finish on door locks? 

I hate how when browsing I think its Peacock and maybe Paramount with my Roku box it starts to stream an intro/trailer for every damn show you highlight. Havent been able to find a way to turn that off. Makes it almost unusable. 

Funny thing is it worked flawlessly for 5+ yrs and just started doing that stupid stuff in the last year or so. 

Mine is starting to do this stupid crap again. Getting messages hours and hours after event happens. So are instant, others way off. It was perfect for a few weeks right after this post's reported issue got fixed. 

Just got a driveway alert thru notifications at 12:30. Might be working again.

Do we get a 4sight disount/refund for downtime? 

Mine are not working either.

I know this is an older thread.

I have used the native email notification agent for years. I have it sent to my phones (email address) so it arrives as a txt. It has worked faultless for years.

Recently it started acting up. The messages still go thru, sometimes immediately and other times delayed by 20min, 3hrs, or whatever. It logs the correct event time. 

No changes in my system. Same router, modem, etc. Director is on 3.1.3. 

Have rebooted EA5.

Phone service was Sprint, now TMobile(bought out Sprint). I have tried sending to 000-000-0000@sprint.messagingpsc.com and 000-000-0000@tmomail.com

Any ideas?

Please post some feedback once using guys. Might ditch my Davis Vantage.

I have a Tempest, but haven't justified the expense of the driver, looked at it, pulls in many of the Tempest's variables, but know there's no weather display in Navigator.

The Tempest has been rock solid for over three months. Haven't needed to touch it, which is nice since it's on the roof on a pole.
The rain notification from Tempest built into the app works fairly well, a couple minutes delayed in a light sprinkle. Timely when actually raining or storming.
Also the rain accumulation isn't scientifically accurate, but works fine for my gardening needs.

Absolutely recommend the Tempest for the weather enthusiast.

Looks like there might be some GUI display now.

Looks like some Rachio irrigation integration coming as well.

I love my 4050, sure the 5050 is even better! 

Been looking into
