So today looking a HS4 display of AKWeather - Meteobridge variables. Personally all of the variables displays in HS4 stinks. That said installed Jon00 links program to see the variables in the old HS3 format.

So looking and comparing: ( I have CumulusMX - serial logger running on same computer, mcsMQTT running on Homeseer, HA running on same computer)

1 - AKWeather - Meteobridge variables
2 - Jon00 CumuluxMX Realtime.txt variables
3 - MQTT from CumulusMX variables to Homeseer and Home Assistant
4 - Home Assistant Meteobridge plugin variables. (Meteobridge datalogger)
5 - WeatherXML running today on Homeseer 3 Pro. (have it installed on HS4 Pro but not configured).*
6 - WLL - will purchase next week for configuration of house #2 that is currently configured with HS4 and HA.

* Base plugin I am using to compare AKWeather plugin.

A few years ago tested Linux WeatherWX running on Homeseer computer and it worked well. This past week tested WeatherDisplay on Linux. Very slow running. Not impressed at all with it. Maybe it works better on Windows.

With the above written wanting to use weather station variables in HS4 and continue to run autonomous weather software.

Historically have used Cumulus guages in HS2 and HS3 HSTouch tabletop screens (running in Windows embedded).

I am not tethered to my cell phones but lately using Android. I do have multiple cellular accounts and still have Windows 10 mobile phone and an Apple ios phone (both off at this time). I keep all cell phones off when at home. That said I have one LTE modem pass voice line to house with two VOIP lines at this time.

Pete remember - if you need anything - I can implement

[EDIT]

Also, I don't usually test imperial units, beware

A couple of days back testing WeatherXML on HS4 new build I was able to import the Cumulus data file (text file) over. It works nicely.

AKWeather has Cumulus provider, and you can have multiple Locations

Thank you Alex.

My pleasure Pete

thanks for adding support for meteobridge. i use it to track rainfall and then control my sprinkler system. i did find something odd however. for some reason when there is no rain the rainfall rate goes to a - instead of zero and then the rainfall day also goes to a dash instead of zero so it does not show accumulation for the day as intended. any ideas?

Can you post logs (enable Log for the Location)

**vince954** · December 20, 2021, 02:27 PM

see log below, i can see value 0 for rain rate and totals but the plugin shows a dash for rain rate and day rain..

**alexbk66** · December 20, 2021, 06:08 PM

Thank you.

Since it's reading 0 - plugin does show dash, that's intentional, is it a problem?

**vince954** · December 21, 2021, 11:46 AM

i disabled and restarted the plugin and now its showing zeros. not sure why it went to a dash but using a dash makes it hard to use the values for any other uses. in my case i have a script that checks to see how much its rained the last 24 hours to decide to run a sprinkler cycle or not.

**alexbk66** · December 21, 2021, 07:59 PM

I can't remeber why I did it, sure there was a reason. But I can change it.

that would help for us who use the data to trigger events. today i noticed the plugin was not updating since the 21st, basically frozen but status showed normal. i disabled and restarted the plugin and its running fine. could not see anything in the logs to explain it.

**alexbk66** · January 31, 2022, 08:43 AM

Ver 4.0.2.19 (BETA) - removed the dash (please enable "Show Beta Plugins" to install BETA)

**Sonnyh** · September 2, 2023, 12:05 PM

Hi,
I am running 4.0.5.134.
The update setting is every second, as I am sending data to HSTouch for weather displays in verious rooms in the house.
The wind direction seems to be realtime, but the wind speed seems to lag by over a minute.
Is there a way to have realtime wind speed too?

Please enable Log for the Location, filter HS log by plugin (FROM FILTER) and EXPORT log to file.
