Lua: Problem reading Wind speed value)

Hi,
I have setup a new anemometer (wind speed meter) in my Domoticz setup. Now, I want to use a LUA script to turn a virtual switch on/off when the wind is above a particular value.
But, for some reason.. the LUA variable is always reading 0.00 as windspeed. I have looked at the Wiki, but I don't know exactly what is incorrect?
When I simply read the Windmeter value:
Code: Select all
sWindvalue =(otherdevices_svalues['WindMeter'])
print ("sWindvalue: "..sWindvalue)
I get a long line of numbers (where you can extract the windspeed from), but the outcome is strange. This is shown in my log file:
LUA: sWindvalue: 0.00;N;6;6;0.0;0.0
So it reads something, but everything is looking pretty much 0
On my Domoticz dashboard I do see a good value. What am I doing wrong here?
Any help is appreciated

What content is shown in the devices list under Setup/Devices for this device?

Thanks for the reply. Type Wind, Subtype weatherstation

Hmm.. very strange. On the devices, the value is the same basically as what is shown in the logfile. But the device itself shows different value's in the dashboard, where it shows a m/s value which is not shown on the devices page for this particular device.

Do you have multiple devices with the same name?

Hmmm.. as far as I can see, not..
I do have another windsensor (the one from weather underground), but the names are different. Also the data that is shown in general is looking differently for the WU wind sensor.

I think I have got it. The raw sensor data is different then what Domoticz is showing in it's dashboard. I mis red the Wiki basically, it was correctly written there. Basically I think the third value is windspeed and the others are zero, because I don't collect anymore data coming from this windspeed sensor.
Only, what I don't get. I get an integer value.. saying 1,2,3,4,5,6 etc .. but I want to change this to m/s, the same way the sensor does in the dashboard. A threshold value of "50" is not saying that much for me
Somebody knows how I can change this to m/s in lua the same way as in the dashboard?

If you want to know the components of the svalue for wind, perhaps a json-call is helpful.
In your browser call http://<ip_domoticz>:8080/json.htm?type=devices&rid=<wind-idx>
Obviously you have to fill the red values with info valid for your own configuration.
Reading the response you can probably distinguish the position of the info in the string.

Use this and see what comes out:
Code: Select all
--Windmeter data:
sWindDirectionDegrees, sWindDirection, sWindSpeed, sWindGust, sWindTemperature, sWindFeel = otherdevices_svalues['Wind']:match("([^;]+);([^;]+);([^;]+);([^;]+);([^;]+);([^;]+)")
sWindDirectionDegrees = tonumber(sWindDirectionDegrees);
sWindDirection = (sWindDirection);
sWindSpeed = tonumber(sWindSpeed);
sWindGust = tonumber(sWindGust);
sWindTemperature = tonumber(sWindTemperature);
sWindFeel = tonumber(sWindFeel);
print("______________________________________________________________________________________")
print("Windmeter: Winddirection (in degrees) is: " .. sWindDirectionDegrees .. " ");
print("Windmeter: Winddirection is: " .. sWindDirection .. " ");
print("Windmeter: Windspeed is: " .. sWindSpeed .. " ");
print("Windmeter: Windgust is: " .. sWindGust .. " ");
print("Windmeter: Windtemperature is: " .. sWindTemperature .. " ");
print("Windmeter: Windfeel is: " .. sWindFeel .. " ");
print("______________________________________________________________________________________")
I use this to read wind form weather underground.

Thanks for sharing that piece of code. It's very useful.
