S_WIND / V_DIRECTION gives wrong value

AWI · Post by **AWI** » Saturday 09 April 2016 13:54

A full fledge wind sensor with values (V_WIND, V_DIRECTION, V_TEMP) sends all the values to Domoticz. The values are combined in a 'combined' wind device which shows all the values.

All values are shown but the value for direction makes no sense. The value is sent in Degrees (0..359) and arrives at its destination. Below al list of values sent and values displayed on the domoticz panel/ device-data panel. It looks like the value is multiplied by 22 or 23 in Domoticz. Also the number seems to be treated as an integer internally (not Domoticz (JSON) default).

Anyone who has other results?

360/16 = 22.5

Thanks for the clarification. So for Domoticz we need to send wind_direction /16 ? I would suggest to use the 360 scale.

Sounds like I'm the only one testing the S_WIND device... another hick-up that confuses me and my Domoticz installation. It consistently hangs domoticz when the wind sensor reports itself. Two wind devices are created and 'something' goes wrong in the process. When I remove the devices which does not get updated (the "Weather Station" subtype) it returns when the sensor reports itself again.

@awi - not going to hijack your thread but just mention that Domoticz created two devices is quite common in other weather nodes as well. For example temp/hum/baro

@sundberg84 - thanks, I know but this one keeps popping up and seems to hang the domoticz installation. Now running a 'fresh' domoticz installation to get to the root cause..

sorry I did misunderstand.Â So, my function using the wind direction does not give the same results as the function using AI?Â Is that what you mean?Â Paul

I also experience problems with V_Direction values. Domoticz never updates any changes of the direction. It always shows 20NNE and i have no idea where the number 20 comes from. More details in this post:

Hope it's okay to ask here again.
