Openweathermap.org http profil sharing !!-- Forecast Weather

[Guest]

** I live in Canada ---Chek your metrics/imperial system**


Here I want to share my httpGET profil to get values from openweathermap Forecast api.



So you want to get the api key from there https://home.openweathermap.org/users/sign_up


When you got the api key, write it at the end of this address, and replace the lat /lon values with yours

Imp ex : https://samples.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast?lat=35&lon=139&appid=b6907d289e10d714a6e88b30761fae 22

----



The next profile will create 133 devices. You can poll 40 ( [0] to 39] ) different hours ( 3 hours gaps each) in the total of 5 days.

1.Here I poll 3h[0], 6h[1], 9h[2], 12h[3], 15h[4], 18h[5], 21h[6], 24h[7], 48h[15], 72h[23], 96h[31], 114h[37]
( why i do not poll 120[39]...or 117[38] ? Because sometimes they are not available...so 114h[37] seems to be safer.)

Feel free to add the ForecastTime you want!

2. The first device is your city. Then there are 11 devices per number I just listed.

Temperature moment (time of the forecast estimate)
Temperature unit ( here in Celsius)
Wheather
Description of the Wheather
Clouds %
rain (mm)
Snow (mm)
Pressure
Humidity %
WindSpeed (here in Km/h)
Wind direction in degrees

NB-----The following is ONLY applicable to people that use the metric measurement system :

- the wind.speed value was in meter/sec. So i needed to multiply it by 3.6 to get a km/h value : JSON_Num(input,"list[0].wind.speed") *3.6

NB-- some values wont appears in their respective Homeseer device ( unknown). you have to change the device property to allow an interval big enough for the value you will get.

ex: if it is -5 degrees Celsius, you wont see it , you'll have to edit your device property.
Same thing for the wind direction (ex: can be 270 degrees) , so your interval most include 0-360 here.

NB-- Some device will be ''off'', that means there is no metric available for this device ( ex: here i can see 5mm of snow for the snow device, but i see nothing for the rain device). Feel free to remove the snow device if you don't have any snow at your place. But if you live in a place like Canada, keep both ( In the winter the snow device will get its value, but the rain wont (most of the time), And in summer we'll get the rain , but not the snow).

Then I create an event that will trigger every |15 minutes to poll the API.

Thanks for sharing. I do recommend this one strongly to anyone who wants to get his feet wet with APIs. Very good entry level API and useful too.

Here is a picture with the first 3 hours forecast edited

[risquare]

Yes. Looks much nicer now when you add some extra work. It is on our "to-do" list to allow users to tell Big5 what kind of attributes (text, graphics) to assign to the HS3 devices that Big5 creates. It won't be easy or perfect due to the large number of devices Big5 creates sometimes especially when parsing JSON.

[Guest]

risquare all the device have the option '' Do not update device last change time if device value does not change:'' selected...

Some of them do not change at all. Why is the column ''last change '' updated on each poll? Do you send something like thoses

setdeviceproperty&ref=####&property=NewDevString&value=STRIN G_VALUE
setdeviceproperty&ref=####&property=ChangedValueORString&val ue=TRUE
setdeviceproperty&ref=####&property=NewDevValue&value=xxxx


Every time a profil is polled? If , yes , i am afraid the event engine wont work as supposed with those values. How do you (BIG5) insert a value into a device ? Thanks Matt

[risquare]

BTW I spent time to setup graphics for wind direction that I can share. See below

wow those are really nice ! (better idea than the NE SE SW NW I put in the suffix ( see picture)). Can you share those graphics? Thanks.

Maybe I am wrong, but the '' Do not update device last change time if device value does not change:'' is not respected

[Guest]

This is what i thought.

i did set this event.

The device '' Big5 HTTP Weather Forecast - Pressure In 3h'' did stay at 1033.3 all the time .

I manually pressed the ''run event'' button two times, and i received two pushover messages.

The event was not supposed to fire since there was no change in the value..

If i let the polling occur ( every 15 minutes without any intervention... the event is trigered two times... ( i received two pushover messages)
And again... the value is still 1033.3


Edit: sent this to the bug report thread . So we can continue the chat here.

[risquare]

It seems that this is General HS3 issue. I think there are ways in HS3 to deal with it as there is more than one way to track value change. Big5 creates devices in a certain way. If we do something else than others may be unhappy. Remember we went full circle with the import of value as a string. Some clients asked for it and we delivered, than others didn't like it and asked for us to go back as it was originally. I personally do have hundreds of HS3 devices created/updated by Big5 and I never experience problems acting on value change or lack of change.

[Guest]

Just finished .

Will surely add some icons in the future.

edit: sorry for the picture quality. But it is quite hard to get all the devices into one picture. As you can see , I was not able to show all devices into one picture... but you get the idea

[JT Tulip]

Having trouble configuring current conditions to populate - i.e., JSON(input, "list.weather.description") All other fields with numerical data show up fine. Am I missing something?

[kolka10]

Hello all , spend many time to work around on following problem:
HS3 PRO ( Ubuntu based installation) + Big5 v1.33.0.0
Try to get "simple" device which will show Wind Speed.
Configuration:

Big5 HTTP Profile - VERY SIMPLE:




Name: Weather Forecast
Method: GET
URL: <correct one > - at lest return all required JSON values ( with metric)
Device value expressions: JSON_Num(input, "wind.speed")


HS3 Event: Very Simple





And Device Created !! BUT !!:



How to get OUT OF THIS "Dim" - BEFORE "5.1%"

Why devices created by Big5 - is DIMMABLE , why I cannot un-check this options ???







Something very primitive - But I cant find where is my fault , why Big5 create new device which is "Dimmable=True" ?!

Hello all , spend many time to work around on following problem:
HS3 PRO ( Ubuntu based installation) + Big5 v1.33.0.0
Try to get "simple" device which will show Wind Speed.
Configuration:

By the end for now found ugly wor:
Under Big5 HTTP profile check the "Nun as string"
This is add windspeed value into string , and now HS3 show it like "Number" - But it String
So, I can't use this like a raw value for math or comparing math operations
But at least it now NOT show like :
"Dim 5.1%" ..

[JT Tulip]

Need guidance please - this : JSON(input, "weather.description")


Is yielding this :

Are the text values not correct? All other data comes through fine including location name without problem......
