dzVents version of the Solar Data Script [SOLVED]

[McMelloW]

I try to create the Solar Altitude & Azimuth custom sensors. At this moment the web interface does not work for creating virtual devices. The JSON command does not work either.

Code: Select all

http://192.168.1.xx:xxxx/json.htm?type=createvirtualsensor&idx=5&sensorname=Altitude&sensortype=1004

I guess it it missing the y-axis value. Does anyone know how this works in JSON?

Hi All,

Since couple of weeks i see this error. Not always but within minutes or hours.

Now using v3.8798 Beta, but before this beta got this error as well.

After latest beta (V3.8841) getting some warnings, easily fixed, just wanted y'all to know.

@ BakSeeDaa
Will there be a dzVents 2.4 version (where asynchron communication is implemented) of the script?

[BakSeeDaa]

@ BakSeeDaa

Yes. I've released a new script version. See initial post. Don't use the script version found in the wiki. For some reason I can not login to the wiki to maintain it.

Cheers!

This script will be retired. I'm migrating away from Domoticz to another automation
solution. It requires some effort to maintain it and I won't have the time to do it in the future.

If you'd like to become the maintainer of this script, please let me know. (Post here)

[globalassist]

To what automation solution are you migrating if I might ask?

[supergroover]

Unfortunately is the script retired but i'm getting a error with the new version of the script.

Can somebody help me?

Maybe you have uncommented line 33 to use a Lux device with the script (that''s optional) but some way you have set the device idx to a non existent device or a device that is not of type "Lux"?

Code: Select all

local idxLux = 630 -- (Integer) Domoticz virtual Lux device ID

I had the same problem and found why it was going wrong.
You probably copied the variables at the top of the script from the old to the new version. But the variables have changed a bit.

change this line at the top:

Code: Select all

local fetchIntervalMins = 5						-- (Integer) (Minutes, Range 5-60) How often Wunderground API is called

to:

Code: Select all

local fetchIntervalDayMins = 5 -- Day time scraping interval. Never set this below 4 if you have a free WU API account.
local fetchIntervalNightMins = 30 -- Night time scraping interval. 

this solved the problem for me.

Thanks, i have made a new dummy lux device what is exactly the same as previous lux device and problem solved...

[Arie]

Anyone have any idea what could be the issue here?
The Cloud Cover device is at 100%, whereas there are almost no clouds at the moment.
The Lux device value seems to be very low, not corresponding with the time of day.
The Azimuth and Altitude values seem OK?

The PWS which I use is working fine.
ID numbers are all correct, just double checked.

What is the distance of woensdrecht and your weatherstaion pws:xxxx In my situation it is over 16km. It can be 100% cloud cover at the Ogimet and a bright sky at my weatherstation.

[Arie]

60 KM... You've got a point.

[McMelloW]

I discovered the same difference in my situation. Ogimet is taken from Lelystad Airport. pws is at Harderwijk, only 600m from my house. The distance in direct line is only 16km. Still there can be large differences in local weather.

Hi guys,

I have the following issue with this solar data script. I installed the latest beta an hour ago and setup this script. The problem is the solar data script triggers other script, named "kulcs_haromszog_1". The triggered script is a blockly script and the solar data is dzvents.. What can cause this? Please find the log I attached:

2018-02-10 20:24:05.890 dzVents: Info: solarData 2.4.0: ------ Finished solarData

Does anyone know what is that and how to fix it?

[Arie]

The weather station which you have selected did not supply cloud data for a very long time. Simply select a different weather station from the Ogimet website and add that to the script instead.

[nalesnikizdzemem]

Thanks!
I did what you suggested and it works fine.
Unfortunately the previous station was located in my city and the new one is 65km away from me.

Thanks a lot for support.
