Get local weather data by Big5 and API (no equipment needed)

[Guest]

Yeah i got it for the forecast !!

ex with temperature :

JSON(input,"list[0].main.temp") for the first
JSON(input,"list[1].main.temp") for the second


and so on.

I give the syntax for anyone wanting it . Created 8 http get profiles and 8 events for convenience.

NB: to be safe the last one is not really 120h ( five days ). I tries to poll value for 120h, then tried 117h... than 114h (4.75 days).

114 hours seems to be safe, because the data for 117h and 120h were not there.

So this is why the last digit is not [39] ( 120/3-1=39) , but [37]

"Temperature moment1" && "Temperature In 3h" && "Pressure In 3h" && "Humidity In 3h" && "WindSpeed In 3h"

When I read this thread it make me think that an enhancement to be able to export and import profiles would be be a useful capability.

Life got better after the release of Big5 v1.20. Now you can parse the whole JSON API at once and create/update as many HS3 devices at once.

All you need to do is to separate Name Expressions and Device expressions with && (see below)

In the example below we chose to create 4 HS3 devices.


Example:

This is the API as it comes from the Weather data provider


{
"coord":{
"lon":-117.18,
"lat":33.01
},
"weather":[
{
"id":741,
"main":"Fog",
"description":"fog",
"icon":"50n"
}
],
"base":"stations",
"main":{
"temp":67.24,
"pressure":1014,
"humidity":46,
"temp_min":62.06,
"temp_max":75.2
},
"visibility":16093,
"wind":{
"speed":4.7,
"deg":310
},
"clouds":{
"all":1
},
"dt":1541296560,
"sys":{
"type":1,
"id":425,
"message":0.0041,
"country":"US",
"sunrise":1541340574,
"sunset":1541379272
},
"id":5347315,
"name":"Fairbanks Ranch",
"cod":200
}

Device name expressions

"Temperature" && "Pressure" && "Humidity" && "Community"

Device Value Expressions

JSON(input, "main.temp") && JSON(input, "main.pressure") && JSON(input, "main.humidity") && JSON(input, "name")

This produces 4 HS3 devices each containing value if the RegEx result is numerical and string if the RegEx result is a string

hello,
can you tell me, what im doing wrong?
After setup and triggering event this is what it looks for me:

hello,
can you tell me, what im doing wrong?
After setup and triggering event this is what it looks for me:

You need to edit device property to include the possible value the device can get.

ex : your Weather report- temperature should have a Value range of 0-100 ,you can remove the prefix, dans add a % suffix.

The pressure one is surely bucause the value is in the 1000 ...so in your device property i would set a range of 0-9999

Please take a loomk at my explaination here : https://forums.homeseer.com/forum/li...recast-weather

Thank you for your quick reply. I tried to change the things in device property. when I was ready, the displayed temperature changed from "unknown" to an empty field.
the current temperature here is 1,51 degrees. the value inside the device is shown as 151.


i raised the value to 400 and now you can see 151 degrees in mainview. you have an idea why it does not show 1.51 or 1,51 degrees?

[Guest]

in the api your are seing 1,51 , and not 1.51 ?

on what big5 version are u ?

try putting

JSON_Num(input, "main.temp"). Not sure why you get a decimal ? can you copy past the api values you got on the web page?

im still testing big5 since today. 30 days left. So i guess its the newest version.
In the api you can see now "1.99" but the value is 199 to me.
here are the screenshots, perhaps I missed something:




omg. after updating from version 1.25.0.0 to 1.26.0.0 NOTHING works anymore. no device will be created.

YUP..... my guess is ti wait for risquare on this...

[risquare]

Confirmed. Working on it.

[risquare]

Resolved. Tested. No need for software update. Just the new version 1.26 treats data differently. In this case you need to setup and save the whole URL in the data box of the Big5 HTTP output command (not just in the profile). Note is taken and the online documentation will be updated.

[joesch]

so i have to copy the url from the http profile and input it again in field "override request body"? do you want to change this is next version or is this going to stay. if so i dont understand the sence to type a url twice. wouldnt different profils be needless then?

im just interested to get the correct temperature but i still have problems to get the right value. if the openweathermap api says its 1.99 degrees, i always get 199 degrees. do you have an idea how to change to see the correct value?


there is just another thing i do not understand yet. to create a temperature device, i have to trigger an event with big5 http action. do i regulary have to trigger this event for updating value or does it do automatically?
