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.
StormDesk can show worldwide forecast weather for a town, postcode, or saved place. Station-only history and measured observations become available 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.
