FAQ

Why make this?

I find it funny.

Any other reason?

Spectrum is a very anti consumer company. this whole project started because i cant even access port forwarding, A VERY BASIC FEATURE and while trying to find a way around it i found the GitHub with the page and credentials used to find the barometer.

How often can it update?

The barometer seems to update every second but that's super overkill lol but you can if you want to.

Will you update this ever?

I may make a fully optional web GUI at some point for fun but its in a very usable state already. Plus cli tools are just kinda fun :3

How hard is it to run?

When taking a reading it might take a few % of CPU and max ram use i personally have seen is 111MB (though not to say it can never get higher i cant know for sure I'm just one person) but when sitting idle its no CPU. i wanted this to be able to run on anything from a raspberry pi you already have set up running pi hole or something to someones single laptop that they are actively pushing while it runs in the background (because that's me)

None of this would be possible without the work of MeisterLone on GitHub

He actually put in the work to reverse engineer this stupid router and i wouldn't have even realized routers had barometers without it lmao
