• Turn on whole house attic fan & turn off the AC if the outside temperature is cooler than inside
• Turn on outside accent lighting when light level falls below a set limit
• Turn on an engine block heater on work days when the outside temperature is close to freezing
• Adjust heating/cooling levels based on the temperature and humidity forecast
• Adjust indoor lighting levels based on outdoor sunlight levels
• Adjust awning and shade positions based on ambient light, solar radiation, wind, etc

In addition to direct integration with your smart home systems, there’s also a growing list of devices and software that let you do all sorts of things with the data from your Tempest System. The WeatherFlow Tempest System exposes a collection of self-service APIs and documentation that make it easy for developers to build apps and integrations that access data on behalf of a Tempest station owner. With both remote access (via REST & Web Socket) and local access (via Bluetooth Low Energy, UDP Broadcast).
