// METAR Station — Key action

Up to 10
per Key

WORKS ON ANY STREAM DECK MODEL

Pin one ICAO to a key for a dedicated station tile, or pin up to ten and cycle through them with each press. Long-press opens the detail page — defaults to our purpose-built METAR Lookup with TAF, runway analysis, density altitude, and an airspace overlay map. Switch to metar-taf.com, point at any custom URL, or disable entirely.

  • Flight category color background — VFR, MVFR, IFR, LIFR
  • Color-blind safe palette option — Wong/Okabe-Ito anchored, distinguishable for red-green CVD, past WCAG AA on white text
  • Wind, vis, ceiling, age, color-coded weather condition icon
  • Wildfire smoke icon — smoke (FU) and haze (HZ) render as a campfire with smoke drifting downwind
  • Category change cue — an edge stripe shows the previous category's color for an hour, fading toward the direction of change
  • Configurable 4th data row — T/Td, altimeter (inHg or hPa), SLP, or decoded weather phenomena
  • Custom station labels — rename KSEA → "Seahawk" right on the button face
  • Wind chevron cue when sustained ≥15 kt or any gust is reported
  • SPECI badge when a special observation is active
  • Refresh on demand — set press to fetch fresh METARs instantly; long-press still opens the detail page
  • Visibility in statute miles or meters/kilometers, per action
  • Configurable press behavior, long-press timing (250–1500 ms), and detail URL

Touchscreen

REQUIRES STREAM DECK +

Up to ten ICAOs per encoder slot. Rotate the dial to scroll, with the touchscreen rendering the selected station's full METAR in the top half and a chip strip of adjacent stations below. Press the dial to flip into a detail view — long METARs auto-scroll line-by-line so you can read them at the dial.

  • Carousel: hero tile + chip strip showing 5 nearby ICAOs
  • Detail view: raw METAR text with sliding-window auto-scroll
  • Touchscreen press-and-hold opens the full detail page in your browser
  • Dial press refresh option — fetch fresh METARs on demand instead of toggling the detail view
  • Category change stripe on the hero — the same cue as the keys
  • Custom labels show on the hero, detail header, and the key area below
  • Color-blind safe palette toggle for the hero background
  • Edge-to-edge custom layout — no wasted padding
  • Same Smart hourly refresh shared with all your keys

FAA Standard —
or Color-Blind Safe

The default palette mirrors the colors on FAA charts. A per-action toggle swaps in a color-blind safe alternative, anchored on the Wong/Okabe-Ito palette and darkened to clear WCAG AA against white text. Try both:

VFRCeil >3000 / Vis >5
MVFRCeil 1000–3000 / Vis 3–5
IFRCeil 500–1000 / Vis 1–3
LIFRCeil <500 / Vis <1

Available now on Elgato Marketplace

METAR Deck v1.3 is live on the Elgato Marketplace. $1.99 one-time, with free updates within v1.x.

New in v1.3 — built for fire season: stations reporting smoke or haze now show a campfire icon with smoke drifting downwind. Automated sensors can't tell smoke from haze, so hazy AUTO reports get the campfire too — in fire season, that's usually what they are. A new category change cue paints an edge stripe in the color a station just left, fading toward the direction of change — one glance answers "getting better or worse?" Plus refresh on demand (key press or dial press) and visibility in meters for international users. (v1.2 added the METAR Lookup detail default, custom station labels, and the color-blind safe palette.)
