Move cloud cover to weather

Post by Menno »

Hi All,

For some reason the cloud cover percentage is listed under the Utilty tab.
Would it not be way more logical to have this under the tab Weather?

Cheers,

Which weather module are you using? Maybe provide a (cropped) print screen of your issue?

The 'Weather' tab only displays certain Weather related sensortypes. Often Weathermodules also use more generic sensortypes to present additional information like 'cloud cover percentage' (generic percentage sensor) or 'Weather description' (generic test sensor) so Domoticz can not know that these sensor actually contain data that could be considered Weather data.

Hi,

Sorry for replying so late, I don' t visit the forum very often.
I use the cloud cover percentage from Openweathermap.
Temperature, humidity, barometric pressure and visibilty from Openweathermap are all placed in the Weather tab, but cloud cover percentage is placed under Utility.
Is there a way for me to tell Domoticz this property belongs under Weather instead of under Utilty?

In version 2021.1 there are new devices for Openweathermap.
For instance "weather description". It is quite ludicrous that this gets placed in Utilities instead of in Weather.

Can we get cloud cover and weather description from OpenWeather in the Weather tab, instead of in Utilities?
Should not be a big or difficult change to make...

Unfortunately it is not that easy.
You can make a floormap with all the weather devices.
