Buienradar Weather Lookup Plugin

Brutus · Post by **Brutus** » Tuesday 14 February 2017 14:11

I downloaded the latest files from github (Download ZIP). Overwrited the existing files and restarted Domoticz. See here the results:

The station now is only 13km from my location but now you see some errors in the log.

My sensor isn't working I think related to that error (from the devices list):
318 Buienradar 0010 1 Buienradar - Temperature Temp LaCrosse TX3 0.0 C

@Brutus: My installation at home is broken in beta v3.6707 (see other post in this subforum). So I can not reproduce it at the moment. Will look into that as soon as I have a working server again.

@sander815: Create a directory named "plugins" and clone when you are in that directory. It will create a subdir for you. If you use the github-zip-download, create a directory yourself and put all the .py files in that subdir. I will update the readme a bit to explain how to install.

After installing version V3.6708 the plugin doesn't give any errors

I don't know why but I'm still not able to add the hardware after following the process. I upgraded Domoticz to v 3.6708.

Any suggestions?

Regards, Rob

Edit: problem solved after installing python3-dev.

Wow - was looking for a Weather Underground replacement in Domoticz because of many false values and missing data - zoomed in on Buienradar XML info and stumbled into this plug-in - great work

Let's see if I can get it to work

Working, but for others some info - after setting up the plugin directory and restarting Domoticz I had no new Hardware - I was on Domoticz stable release

1. Set Domoticz in settings to the Bèta channel
2. Check for updates and let Domoticz update
3. Restart Domoticz - this has to be done after the update!
4. Now check Hardware - the new plugin is visible

Great job - well done

One problem, I tried the localtest.py and got some errors :

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi:~/domoticz/plugins/domoticz-buienradar $ python3 localtest.py
Found Meetstation Voorschoten at 8.2 km from your home location

  File "/home/pi/domoticz/plugins/domoticz-buienradar/buienradar.py", line 177, in getWindChill
    return temperature

This is also visible in the Domoticz log

should be

Thx @EldigoR - changed it and now works as a charm

Buienradar Temperature is now correctly filled...

Please help. I did the following:

-Installed Python
-Created a plugins directory.

For the error in the localtest.py - see 2 posts above
For the no hardware - did you read my post about Bèta release and restarts?

Yes i did snow tiger. Did exactly what is described in the posts. But no buienradar in the hardware list.

I created the plugins dir myself. Is that a problem?

Did you also installed python3-dev? That did the trick for me.

I installed the folder plugins myself. No problem.

How do i install the dev version? and is this possible when python 3.4 is already installed?

Is it true that this installation creates only one temperature sensor/Device?

The plugin retrieves more value's then the temperature....

These values are all retrieved but up until now only Temperature is saved in a Sensor called Buienradar Temperature

- see the first post in this thread

I hope that the available data will soon be available in a dummy sensor. Then I can stop with all the other API based plugins. Unfortunately I don't have the knowledge to do this myself

.

Is there a way to adjust the time interval? Buienradar is updated every 10 minutes. It would be nice that the plugin can handle the same refresh rate.

Regards, Rob

ffes · Post by **ffes** » Wednesday 15 February 2017 19:41

Thanks you all for spotting the bug in getWindChill(). You are right, it should be self.temperature. When I coded it, it was too cold to find this error

I've committed this fix to the repo. Do "git pull" or download the lastest zip from github to update.

I also added the code to add the wind device. To get the wind device you need to delete the temperature device bound to this hardware, or remove the plugin from the hardware page and reinstall. That is because as long as there is at least one device no other (in this case: new) device are added. Know that removing the device (directly or indirectly by deleting the hardware) will lose your temperature history.

I'm not sure whether go combine temperature, humidity and barometer into one or two devices or make three separate devices for that. Not sure what is best practice/most common/most desired.

At the moment 15 minutes is hard coded at line 58 in plugin.py. You can adjust the value. I think I will change the interval to an option you can set on the hardware page.
