Weather Magic PWS
Read full descriptionHide full description
Weather Magic PWS puts your own personal weather station on your iPhone. It reads the data your station already sends to Weathercloud and shows your readings as they come in. You can also connect your own station's Weather Underground account (optional). If your station goes offline, Weather Magic PWS can use a nearby backup station so you still see current conditions until your station is back. FREE - Live data from your home station - Today's graphs - One backup station Free does not include long-term history, cloud storage or data export. PRO: ONE UNLOCK FOR IPHONE, IPAD AND MAC Pro is a single purchase, not a subscription. Buy it once and it unlocks Pro on your iPhone, iPad and Mac. On iPhone and iPad you can try Pro free for 30 days first, once; the trial never renews or charges. Pro adds: - Your station's history and week, month and year graphs, read from your own cloud database. Long-range graphs load quickly because they use hourly and daily averages. - Your own cloud database: choose Turso or Supabase and connect an account you control - Multiple devices: one computer, such as your Mac, collects your station's data every minute. If it stops, another computer takes over automatically. Your iPhone and iPad view the data from the cloud. - A second backup station - Air quality - Near-real-time lightning: the wind vane shows nearby strikes on 1, 5, 10 and 20 mile rings with a flashing bolt. On iPhone and iPad, lightning comes from your collecting computer through your cloud database, so no key is needed here. - Data export YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Your station's data goes only to your own database. It is not sent to us. Data read from public backup stations is used only in the app and is never pushed back to its source. GOOD TO KNOW - Weather Magic PWS is built for owners of a personal weather station that sends its data to Weathercloud. Connecting your own station's Weather Underground account is optional. - Viewing history from the cloud needs Pro, your own Turso or Supabase account, and a computer running Weather Magic PWS to collect your station's data. - Lightning data is provided by OpenWeather and requires a free OpenWeather account and API key on your collecting computer. Pro setup there walks you through creating one. No key is needed if your weather station reports lightning itself. - Air quality and lightning depend on the data available for your area. - Readings come from your station and the sources you connect, and may sometimes be delayed or unavailable. Not for lightning safety decisions.
