Compatibility
Connect the station you already use.
Support depends on the station’s connection method and gateway—not only the brand on the outdoor sensor. Check the route below before installing.
| Station or software | How it connects | What you need |
|---|---|---|
| WeatherFlow Tempest | WeatherFlow personal-use API and live station data | A Tempest account token and your station |
| Ecowitt | Custom local upload to your StormDesk host | An Ecowitt gateway or console that supports customized uploads |
| Ambient Weather | Local compatible upload or Ambient Weather Network cloud polling | A compatible console/gateway, or AWN API credentials |
| Weather Underground upload | Local WU-compatible upload endpoint | A console or weather program that can send WU-formatted updates |
| Davis | Local WeatherLink Live polling | A WeatherLink Live device reachable from the host |
| La Crosse | Cloud polling | La Crosse account credentials; this unofficial connection may change |
| AcuRite and radio sensors | rtl_433 JSON forwarded to StormDesk | A supported radio receiver and a computer running rtl_433 |
| WeeWX | Weather Underground-style uploader | A running WeeWX installation configured with the StormDesk host address |
A brand may sell models with different gateways and upload features. The connection method above determines compatibility. Check your exact console or gateway documentation.
No station? No problem.
Choose a town, postcode, or saved place to open the full dashboard with up to ten forecast days. Gauges without a station reading stay visible and explain what is unavailable; measured history appears after connecting a station archive.
Where the host fits
The desktop or headless StormDesk host receives and archives local readings, evaluates alert rules, and serves other household screens. Keep it running for closed-browser notifications and continuous local history.
