Davis WeatherLink (Local and Remote) - multiple improvements in ver 4.0.4.53

[alexbk66]

Ver 4.0.4.53 0 I refactored WeatherLink (Local and Remote) for more consistency between both, as both providers should display same data.

WLL Remote can add more server calculated values, i.e. current weather description, Air Quality Index (AQI), etc.

Also it consolidates multiple previous fixes, i.e.

https://forums.homeseer.com/forum/hs...link-local-api
https://forums.homeseer.com/forum/hs...-data-elements

Both providers now should support additional readings, i.e. arrays of additional temperature and humidity sensors, soil moisture / temperature, leaf moisture / temperature, also some missing readings are added.

Please test the new version. I suggest enabling Log for both Locations (not Trace) and check HS log for messages like

humidity: 54.2 (change from 60.5)

which means that different sensors report different values, but the plugin can display only one (i.e. one humidity).

In this case please read https://forums.homeseer.com/forum/hs...nk#post1485674

Please keep an eye on the readings, especially Wind and Precipitation (refactored), as well as new added readings (new HS devices should be added at the bottom)

The pressure trend still says "Raising" despite correcting the text in the status variables to "Rising." No biggie.

Hello Alex,

Initial testing the Weatherlink Local API has identified a number of sensors are no longer displayed... i.e as it is now identifying the different sensors report different values and normalised to a single sensor as described in the first post. As captured in the logs, this affected the Leaf, Wetness and Soil Temp and therefore, their "features were not created.

Hello Alex,

Initial testing the Weatherlink Remote API. As displayed below, all features were created including the Leaf, Wetness and Soil Temp; however, the feature values need looking at.

Weatherlink Local is looking correct.

BETA 4.0.4.54 - WeatherLink fixes

Weatherlink Remote a few minor issues that are incorrectly represented.
Temperature Soil is unknown and displayed as temp_1
Temperature Leaf 1 is incorrect
Wet Leaf 1 is incorrect

Tim, also it looks like you don't have the Description device (forecast_desc: Mostly cloudy and cooler. Precipitation possible within 12 hours, possibly heavy at times. Windy.)?

[EDIT]

(1) wet_leaf_1: 0.1 - looks correct?

(2) temp_leaf_1, temp_soil_1 and temp_1 have same values, so it's hard to tell. But it looks like both Local and Remote are missing temp_leaf_1 and temp_soil_1?

temp_leaf_1: 71
temp_soil_1: 71
temp_1: 70.9


(3) Basically the following HS devices should be created from the WLL readings:

Note: in next ver 4.0.4.55 I swap temperature and temperature_extra for consistency (currently they are opposite).

temp_1
temp_2
temp_3
temp_4

Ver 4.0.4.55 - WeatherLink (both) - Swap temperature and temperature_extra for consistency (currently they are opposite).

Tim, I tested everything with the simulated json, so if you have any issues, please post your json (from Trace)
