@npeach Hi thanks for submitting this. I believe the issue is with your Station ID. ST-00018457
does not look like a valid station ID. It should be an integer.
Please go to https://tempestwx.com/settings/stations/ and click on your station. The URL should update to something like https://tempestwx.com/settings/station/<number>
. That <number>
is your Station ID.
Also I’ll look into the options, it should support multiple of the same type.
Facepalm! ok that worked - thank you! the only other issue I am still experiencing is that I can't set the sensor type for humidity, and so when the api pulls the data into homebridge, homekit sees it as a temp.
Is there a way to use the motion sensor for windspeed vs. the fan sensor?
thank you !!

@npeach Great glad that worked!
I'll continue to look into the GUI issue with the sensor types but in the meantime, for sensor_type
I'm noticing in your manual configuration file the humidity sensor_type
is an empty string. Can you try adding the value of Humidity Sensor
and restart?
I could expose a Motion Sensor
Accessory. I'm thinking if I did that I could add an additional attribute trigger_point
which would let you configure a wind speed you would want it to go on/off at? 🤔 The fan was simply so you could see the wind speed 0-100.
Really appreciate it! This is a great plugin :)
I can add the sensor type manually and restart. What that does is create the correct sensor, but as soon as I restart for any reason, it reverts back to a temp sensor.
on the fan - my thought was that the current sensor type showing up as a controllable fan is a bit weird and because I have real fans in my home on homekit, the display is a little awkward. Too bad homekit doesn't have a true wind speed or rain accumulation sensor type yet.
When I wrote my last note, I was considering that if wind_avg was reported as a motion event, then every time it would poll, the trigger could be 'motion' and an alert with the speed. If you have ever seen a co2 alert within homekit - something like that. But I'm not sure that is right either.
Thanks for taking the time to respond!

Very odd I can't reproduce this, at least not yet. What browser are you using and also what version of homebridge-config-ui-x
are you running? Would you mind trying it in a different browser / make sure you are using the latest version etc?
Yes indeed its a shame Homekit doesn't support any Accessories that could be in your yard/outside, the options are very inside your Home orientated.
My little work around is I have an "Outside" room that a throw everything outside in and remove the info from my Home summary so it doesn't effect the averages etc.
🤔 I'd agree having an alert for every wind speed change would become too repetitive, so maybe not the right fit.
However, I felt inspired by your idea and I do plan to expose a Motion Sensor that lets you configure at which wind speed to trigger it. I could see this being useful for warning you of a storm, especially at night for say a Tornado/Huricane warning. e.g. You get a 80mph gust of wind, then you could trigger a home alarm.
I'll keep having a think about what accessories could be better used to display windspeed. 🤔
Closing please respond if https://github.com/chasenicholl/homebridge-weatherflow-tempest/releases/tag/v2.0.0 addresses drop down menu issue. Thank you!
Describe Your Problem: There are two issues that I am working through. The first is that when I create a new sensor, the humidity sensor is no longer an option. I only see Temp, Fan, and Light. If it try to manually update the json under advanced to create the humidity sensor, that doesnt work either.
The second issue is that when the API tries to connect for the first time, it returns a message that OBS data is missing.
