....And I am an idiot.
Okay, the device name is not the var name used in the LUA script (ie dev_Cloud) it is the value of the var (ie Cloud Layer). Updated my devices to match the string value and not getting the errors now.

My only question then is how to get it to show on dashboard? I added it as a switch but that is just sort of dumb looking. The contents are:
Cloud Layer - percentage value
Forecast Tomorrow - string of text

Interesting lua-script!

Seems also well suited for application to read the JSON-files from KNMI, but 'just' a small detail to be solved, because the JSON-output files are different.
A JSON-file as output from DarkSky looks like

Code: Select all

{
  "latitude": 52.29626465,
  "longitude": 6.8055501,
  "timezone": "Europe/Amsterdam",
  "currently": {
    "time": 1557341436,
    "summary": "Lichte regen",
    "icon": "rain",
    "precipIntensity": 0.4394,

    "precipType": "rain",

    "apparentTemperature": 12.28,
    "dewPoint": 9.92,
    "humidity": 0.86,
    "pressure": 995.11,
    "windSpeed": 5.02,
    "windGust": 10.22,
    "windBearing": 208,
    "cloudCover": 0.72,
    "uvIndex": 0,
    "visibility": 6.74,
    "ozone": 417.53
  },

The output from KNMI for my location looks like

Code: Select all

{
  "liveweer": [
    {
      "plaats": "Hasselo",
      "temp": "10.9",

      "d0zon": "16",
      "d1weer": "halfbewolkt",
      "d1tmax": "15",
      "d1tmin": "6",
      "d1windk": "2",
      "d1windknp": "6",
      "d1windms": "3",
      "d1windkmh": "11",
      "d1windr": "ZW",
      "d1neerslag": "70",
      "d1zon": "40",
      "d2weer": "regen",
      "d2tmax": "14",

      "d2neerslag": "80",
      "d2zon": "20",
      "alarm": "0"
    }
  ]
}

With the script of aleph0 for read-out of DarkSky as basis, in analogy it means that generally not "currently": , but "liveweer": [ should be the key-value for json:decode()

Just json:decode(liveweer) returns a nil-error.
Have tried various other, slightly expanded layouts, but not successful.
What is the appropriate layout to put that key-info for KNMI in the brackets of json:decode()?

Hi !

I didn't try, but it should be something like this :

Code: Select all

result=os.capture('curl -s "url_from_kmni"')
local jsonValeur = json:decode(result)

plaats=jsonValeur.liveweer.plaats
temp=jsonValeur.liveweer.temp

and so on... In the script "result" is just a variable name and it's not related to the "result" data block of the json answer. You can name it as you like

Or maybe

Code: Select all

plaats=jsonValeur.liveweer[1].plaats

Thanks for the hints!

Your second hint is the working solution!
Data is now being uploaded to Domoticz Virtual Devices, although still 'getting complaints' from the Debugger related to the bottom lines of the script

Code: Select all

    if otherdevices_svalues[dev_Prev] ~= forecast then 
        UpdateDev(dev_Prev,0,forecast)
    end

The debugger is having problems with otherdevices_svalues.

ToDo = further selection of various useful KNMI-values, and cosmetic cleaning (incl. the above debugger-problem).
Related to KNMI-values the local 'round'-function in the DarkSky-script is not required.

Below is a derived 'variant-script' for extraction of KNMI-info:
certainly needs some more cosmetic cleaning & tuning to match your application.
Line-numbers inserted for easier reference.

Question1
Not knowing the background-operation of Domoticz, is the icon-translation acceptable&realistic, which starts at line 72?
To be seen in conjunction with Line 095 which uploads to a Virtual Device of type Barometer.
(Dutch) List of possible inputs is at the bottom of the script.
Question2
The upload-format is OK for 'Virtual_Device'-type = 'Barometer'.
Also tried 'Virtual_Device'-type = 'Custom Sensor'.
Under it's svalues see the transferred pressure-value and the icon-number, but no icon-text appearing in Domoticz' Widget.
How to realise icon-presentation in the 'Custom Sensor' widget according to uploaded icon-number?

What's the message you got from the debugger (?) about the lines

        UpdateDev(dev_Prev,0,forecast)
    end

@aleph0

The error report is

Code: Select all

lua: ...ticz/scripts/lua/script_time_KNMI_Extract00_RPI3.lua:27: attempt to index global 'otherdevices_idx' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
        ...ticz/scripts/lua/script_time_KNMI_Extract00_RPI3.lua:27: in function 'UpdateDev'
        ...ticz/scripts/lua/script_time_KNMI_Extract00_RPI3.lua:97: in main chunk
        [C]: ?

The reference to scriptline 27 is straightforward.
But it is strange/surprising that the scriptline line is still executed without problems to the results.

Reason that I did not show the error report earlier, is that the next reference to line 97 is a puzzle, because the error report is coming regardless whether that line is empty or filled ........
Also headscratching what the meaning might be of the bottom-line in the error report:
[C]: ?

Posted: **Friday 10 May 2019 17:12**

Thats strange ! Which domoticz version are you running ?

Also, it's been a while since I didn't execute a script from the filesystem, I rather run them from inside domoticz with the event editor. Maybe it has an influence ?

Posted: **Friday 10 May 2019 17:22**

Present release of my Domoticz is V4.10717

The KNMI script-timing has to be set that you not exceed the limit of 300 calls/day:
with interval at 10 minutes it comfortably becomes 24*6 = 144 calls/day.
More frequent in fact has no meaning, because the source info is refreshed at an interval of 10 minutes.

In this case, for my testruns I temporarily commented the if and end-line of the time-loop (=> running script at highest speed of Domoticz, which in time would violate the limit mentioned above)
and also manually ran the command from Putty's CLI:
lua <full filepath&filename>

THAT CLI results in an error report, that

is the purpose of testing, but it is strange (IMHO) that still the script is executed ......

Posted: **Friday 10 May 2019 19:08**

Ah ok ; then in that case you miss some exports done by domoticz before launching the script. otherdevices_idx is one of this exported tables ; but you shall have many more in that case : otherdevices_svalues, devicechanged, ...

Posted: **Friday 10 May 2019 19:54**

Just thinking ahead .....

Textstrings such as 'summary' and 'forecast' are filled with variable textual contents.
For webpage-application with such variable textual contents, it may be handy to have a txt-file or html-file.

From other scripts derived this example working on the extracted KNMI-info.
Simple extension at the end of the KNMI-script.

Code: Select all

Check interval-time and make txt-file
date = os.date("*t")
if  ((time.min+2)%10)==0  then -- Run every 10 minutes, plus delay of 2 minutes
   file = io.open("/home/pi/KNMI_Info.txt", "w+")
   -- Opens a file named KNMI_Info.txt (stored under the designated sub-folder of Domoticz)
   -- in append mode
   -- write lines (as required) to opened file
    file:write("= Meteo, KNMI informatie = \n")
    file:write("  Datum = " .. time.day .. "." .. time.month .. "." .. time.year .. "\n")
    file:write("  Tijd  = " .. time.hour .. ":" .. time.min ..  "\n")
    file:write(" Actueel  = "  .. summary0  .. "\n")
    file:write(" Actueel  =  Tactueel : "..val_Tact.."°C, Tgevoel : "..val_Tgvl.."°C" .. "\n")
    file:write(" Verwacht = " .. summary1  .. "\n")
    file:write(" Verwacht =  Tmin  : "..val_Tmin.."°C, Tmax  : "..val_Tmax.."°C" .. "\n")
    file:close() -- closes the open file

    -- Next line is required to set permissions for open&copy&shift of the file 
    os.execute("chmod a+rw /home/pi/KNMI_Info.txt")
end

The resulting file KNMI_Info.txt can be found in directory /home/pi
If you need it elsewhere, an upload is required in that direction.

Hi

DarkSky Cloud Cover is now included in Domoticz beta V 4.10730.
However, you may expect it under the Weather Tab, but you will find it under Utility.

Regards

Posted: **Saturday 11 May 2019 8:51**

Meteo organisations often provide cloudlayer/-cover expressed according to the octa-scale of 0 to 9.
E.g. this script applies such input (from Ogimet):
0=no cloud , 1-8= cloudy from 1 to 8 max , 9 =Fog , / = no data

Means that the number given by DarkSky must be translated.

Is it an option to add the octa-value to Domoticz' svalue and widget?
Cloudcover a candidate for extra, specific API-JSON-call?

Posted: **Saturday 11 May 2019 9:03**

Dunno for the new widget from darksky plugin. From my script simply multiply cloud cover by 0.08 before storing it in a dedicated octa device. Eventually round it too if you don't want intermediates values

Alternative solution in aleph0's script

Code: Select all

    val_Cloud=round((jsonValeur.currently.cloudCover)*8,0) -- integer Octa scaling!
