| Weather station data via OpenWeather | Works | Works with a free OpenWeather account; values show in HomeSaved copyIf you look at your Homebridge accessories tab, do you see any values in your accessories widgets? These should reflect the values from the weather site. I am using homebridge-weather-plus pluggin with an OpenWeather free account and it seems to be working.

| WeatherFlow Tempest weather station | Works | Merged support via local UDP broadcastsSaved copyMy Weatherflow implementation conforms to the architecture of this plugin, which was written with the idea of fetching (pulling) weather information from internet on a periodic basis. It does not need to persist data, the data is always available. The Tempest weather data is broadcast (pushed) on it's own periodic basis, and is not always available. For this plugin, it is only the Tempest weather source that needs to persist information. The way I see persistance implemented in the examples you provided is through Characteristic updates - aka when the data is pushed to HomeKit.

| Weewx weather station software | Works | Additional Weewx API mergedSaved copyToday, i have tried to install and connect to weewx. weewx create the json-File. But the homebridge shows no values. homebridge shows an error: [10.5.2022, 18:34:03] [WeatherPlus] Error retrieving weather report and forecast [10.5.2022, 18:34:03] [WeatherPlus] Error Message: Error: [ { "error": { "code": "CDN-0001", "message": "Invalid apiKey." } } ] homebridge config: { "platform": "WeatherPlus", "service": "weatherunderground", "key": "http://192.168,0.30/weewx/test.json", "locationCity": "V.4.8.0" } the "test.json" can i open in the browser: { observations:[ { stationID: "my Station", … Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-22. | PR #219 · 2021-10 |
| Ambient Weather station | Partly works | No dedicated plugin; weather-plus can pull station data via Weather UndergroundSaved copyCheck out HomeBridge weather plus. I use it with my Ambient station to pull data from WU. Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22. | Reddit comment · 2020-07 |
| Ambient Weather WS-2000 | Partly works | Bought for Weather Underground link to plugin; untested; one user found it clunkySaved copyI just bought a WS-2000 knowing that it integrates with WeatherUnderground. That links to the homebridge-weather-plus plugin. We'll see if it works. I was on the fence about the Tempest but I like the old school weather vane style. https://www.npmjs.com/package/homebridge-weather-plus Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22. | Reddit comment · 2023-02 |
| Ambient Weather WS-5000 | Partly works | No dedicated plugin; cloud-only; sensors clutter Home app and update poorlySaved copyI have tried a couple of different ones, I have the WS2000 which uses the same console as the WS5000. It ends up junking up the Home app interface. Sensors are put in as small and greyed out boxes that aren't able to be included in the main screens of the app and gets wonky as hell about updating the actual readings. I used HOOBS, Home Assistant and tried to use Homebridge with MQTT plugin for Ambient Weather...none of them were really satisfactory.

| Ambient Weather station | Requested | Support PR still openSaved copyIt looks like different apis implementations handle [`ObservationTime`] differently. OWM and WeeWX are using the timezone of the weather location. WU and Weatherflow are using the device timezone. I could make arguments for both variants :) . What do u prefer? It appears that `ObservationTime` is displayed in the Eve app but I don't see it otherwise used. I'm guessing that the Eve app doesn't adjust it for where my phone is, so if the weather station in in timezone A, homebridge is in timezone B, and my phone is in timezone C, then I would probably prefer the observation time to be reported … Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-22. | PR #297 · 2024-05 |
