Hi waaren,

When I put the settings directly in the dzVents script it works flawless

Kind regards, Rob

Hi Rob,

thx. but if devices are entered as numbers it will also work using the setting file.

Again many thanks for testing.

Oeps, I missed that. I just copied my settings into the new settings file. Thus wrong

. Everything works fine now.

Thank you for this great script. Maybe you should consider to make the settings file the only method for the parameters.

Keep up the great work!

Kind regards, Rob

hi All,

I have add the sensor types. But don't know that type of sensor "Rain Rate" will be?

rainRate is type rain (regen)

Posted: **Tuesday 17 April 2018 14:41**

Thanks

I see that the Rain / Rain Device is not updated. Now its red.

And moved the weatherSettings.lua file to

/home/pi/domoticz/scripts/dzVents/modules
instead
/home/pi/domoticz/scripts/modules

When using the last one i get a error that my weather station was not set.

Posted: **Tuesday 17 April 2018 22:59**

Will you also add Solar Data? i have a script running to get the LUX level. Would be nice to have this in your script as well. So i can use 1 script for Weather forecast, Rain Forecast, Sun Lux level etc etc.

if solar data is available from buienradar or any other public website I can/will add it.
location/name for setting file is "domoticz dir"/scripts.dzVents/scripts/modules/weatherSettings.lua
Time between device updates even when no change is set by forcedUpdateMinutes in weatherSettings.lua

Hi,

I would like to use the value of the rain prediction in another script but I can't see what type of value that it is.

local buienkans = domoticz.devices('Regenhoeveelheid 1u').value I also tried other parameters like level, rate.

Does anyone have an idea? (Or even better, a solution

)

Kind regards, Rob

Posted: **Friday 20 April 2018 19:34**

@schulpr

hi Rob,

the device is a custom sensor. You must use .state to read its value.

So for you:

local buienkans = domoticz.devices('Regenhoeveelheid 1u').state

Hi waaren,

Thank you. That was the only one I didn't tried...

Regards, Rob

you can always use the dump() method to find out what to use

domoticz.devices('Regenhoeveelheid 1u').dump() will give a lot of information

The problem starts with that this weather station does not provide a value for "luchtdruk" (barometer)
Having said that the script should check that and at least present you with a message when LOG_DEBUG is active.

I will post an update later today with this and other checks and more user controllable settings.

Posted: **Monday 23 April 2018 11:15**

Hi Waaren,
thanks for your quick reply.
The strange thing is that the Buienradar site does give the 'Luchtdruk': https://www.buienradar.nl/weer/ijmuiden/nl/2753376
I will wait for your update and test it again.

@Bufoto, I get the data to feed into the script from https://api.buienradar.nl/data/public/1.1/jsonfeed

@Waaren: Strange that the info is available on the buienradar website, but omitted in the jsonfeed.
I will send them a message and ask them if they can add that data in the feed.

Posted: **Monday 23 April 2018 18:40**

New version available; see first post here Latest version 0.20180423

Some additional user specific settings. Both files (main code and user settings) are in the attached zip
Added experimental Lux (based on Solar Power) this one still need a lot of work so do not rely on it.
Execution frequency controlled by user settings. Read the comments in the usersetting file

History
========
20180408 Start coding
20180411 First version active and shared on forum
20180412 Added check on text fields (do not overwrite same text)
20180413 Added more checks and logs
20180413 Corrected rain forecast formulas
20180413 Adjusted rain forecast devices
20180413 Added Alert,text and switch rain forecast devices (all optional)
20180414 User adjustable interval for Info logging to domoticz logfile
20180414 User adjustable interval for updating unchanged sensors/switches
20180414 Shortened long forecast string to 240 chars because of bug in domoticz
20180415 Separated user specific settings from main codefile
20180416 Improved layout text to logfile
20180420 Day-/night frequency now controlled by user-setting
20180423 Added experimental lux based on Solar Power
20180423 Added checks on empty returns

Thanks again. Like the Lux stuff, so I hope it will stay in.
