Power booster worked great. However, I experienced a great deal of trouble reconnecting the sensor to the hub. It was only simple instructions provided by Tempest support and not published on the Tempest website that got me up and running again.
I’ve had the Tempest weather station a few months now and haven’t yet had a chance to mount it on the house in direct sunlight. It was working great in a temporary location when it was warmer and the sun was higher. The last few weeks I was getting notifications that it lost connection due to lower battery voltage. After connecting the power booster I’ve had no problems. It fixed the problem at a low cost until I’m able to mount the station when the weather warms up. Great solution.
I keep my booster plugged in day and night, so my station always has the battery life to get as much readings as possible. Love it
Fixed the issue of the unit going into low power mode or completely turning off during week long rain events.
After having the Tempest for a year mine started to have problems charging in the winter (I think the trees on the hill to the south of me have grown to block the afternoon sun). This was exactly what I needed for the winter. Using lithium batteries it’s easy to recharge and swap out batteries. Waterproof and well made.
