Hi all,
Since I cannot use the buienradar script
http://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic ... +in#p38236 for my location because the Latitude cannot be lower than 44 I am trying to get my precipitation info from Weather Underground.
In plain Lua I managed to read 1 field (of two I want) based on this:
http://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Real-time_ ... structions
As I have all my other script in dzVents (I am a fan, what can I say
) I want this to work too.
The API url is
http://api.wunderground.com/api/YOURAPI ... cante.json and the output is like this:

}
and I want to read the data from the fields "precip_today_metric" and "precip_1hr_metric" to use to update 2 virtual rain devices.
I thought I was going the right way but not getting there
Code: Select all
return {
active = true,
on = {
['timer'] = 'every 5 minutes',
},
execute = function(domoticz)
----
local localhost = '127.0.0.1:8080'
local city = "Alicante" --city
local countryCode = "ES" --country
local rth = domoticz.devices['nexthourRain'] --my virtual rainsensor for hourly
local rtd = domoticz.devices['todayRain'] --my virtual rainsensor for hourly
local wuAPIkey = "XXXXXXX" -- WUnderground API Key
local latitude = 38.xxxx
local longitude = -0.4xxx
local altitude = 81
-[[ this is wereh the info is fetched from URL http://api.wunderground.com/api/'..wuAPIkey..'/conditions/q/'..countryCode..'/'..city..'.json'
local rainin1hour = this should contain the value of the field "precip_1hr_metric" from URL
domoticz.log('Expected rain in the next hour is ' .. rainin1hour, domoticz.LOG_INFO)
rth.updateRain(0, .. rainin1hour) --only updating the counter, not the rate
local raintoday = this should contain the value of the field "precip_today_metric" from URL
domoticz.log('Expected rain for today is ' .. raintoday, domoticz.LOG_INFO)
rtd.updateRain(0, .. raintoday) --only updating the counter, not the rate
--]]

end
}
Could someone help me?
Dannybloe, I think I am looking at you ..
