Teapot for Android

Update: I used Teapot to repurpose an Mobile Air 2 as the main display for my Tempest station. The prefs include a setting to keep the Mobile awake when the app is running—and so I have a big, beautiful, informative display that is always available. I figure the Mobile has several more years of life now! [ORIGINAL REVIEW] This app compared to the Tempest app is like stepping out from the grayscale of Kansas to the Technicolor of Oz. Incredibly impressive use of screen space to display almost all of Tempest’s data in one place, and well differentiated. You will continue to want both apps, as Teapot does not yet display historical data in the form of graphs. Setup was relatively easy, but make it easier on yourself by keeping the instructions for retrieving your sensor’s information handy. Well done!

I love it except for a glitch I had. It kept telling me the wrong station is but it wasn’t. Did it again same result. However it does connect to my station and looks great. Was able to swap the dewpoint and humidity as that more important to me than the humidity reading, which still shows just smaller. It does not give the forecast, maybe because it thinks the wrong station id? It would be nice to be able to offset the temperature and humidity as the Tempest does not. My temperature is accurate but humidity runs high as seems the Tempest typically does from looking at others. Since this is just my display should be able to show it correctly by an offset when needed. However overall very happy with it!

I love how simply and efficiently this app displays information. It works equally well as an always-on console on a dedicated device or an on-demand app on your main squeeze.

Easy to install and configure, no issues whatsoever and love the look and performance! Paid subscriber within 1 hour of installation and happy! This product and program will be replacing a 20 + year old Davis setup that offers less information than Tempest and Teapot! WELL DONE!

Can’t even tell if it works without paying for the subscription. Nothing in the app tells you this; it’s buried in the website under the setup instructions. Tempest sends UDP announcements that this app could be using as well but there’s no indication that it’ll do that and no way to tell without paying. Nope.
