Demo mode
Demo mode lets you test the weather models against different locations without affecting your own vineyard’s data:
- Predefined locations: Australia (Hunter Valley), Poland (Sandomierz), France (Bordeaux), USA (Napa Valley), South Africa (Stellenbosch), Argentina (Mendoza), New Zealand (Marlborough)
- My vineyard (OpenMeteo): Simulates OpenMeteo data for your own location - useful when you don’t have a physical weather station
How to enable demo mode
- Go to Settings in VineyardElf
- Tick the Demo mode checkbox
- Pick a location from the list
- Save your settings
Station calibration
The calibration panel lets you compare readings from a physical Ecowitt station against OpenMeteo forecasts:
- Comparison chart: Ecowitt temperature vs OpenMeteo
- Statistics: mean difference, correlation, RMSE
- Insights: automatic recommendations for calibrating your station
Accessing calibration
Click Station calibration in the VineyardElf sidebar.
