-* Added Local UDP API support! Now you can choose to listen to your Weather Stations observations directly over your local network. No Station ID or API Token needed. Observations are broadcasted every 60 seconds. This leverages the `obs_st` message. See [documentation](https://weatherflow.github.io/Tempest/api/udp/v171/) for more information.
