Domoticz

Posted: **Tuesday 03 July 2018 15:24**

Hi all,

allthough Wunderground doesn't work with free API's anymore, I still like the functionality of showing a forecast on my dashboard.

I currently use Darksky in Domoticz as a Virtual Weatherstation but I don't know how to import this into Dashticz.

Can anyone help me out?

Alternatives:
Use forecast.io in a frame like:

Code: Select all

var frames = {}
frames.weather = {refreshiframe:300000,height:230,frameurl:"//forecast.io/embed/#lat=49.2624&lon=-123.1155&name=Vancouver&color=#00aaff&font=Helvetica&fontColor=#ffffff&units=si&text-color=#fff&",width:12}

or use OpenWeatherMap. Support has been recently added to the beta of dashticz:

Code: Select all

//weather new OWM

config['owm_api'] = 'xxx';
config['owm_city'] = 'Mainaschaff';
config['owm_name'] = '';
config['owm_country'] = 'de';
config['static_weathericons'] = 1;


columns[2] = {}
columns[2]['width'] = 6;
columns[2]['blocks'] = ['currentweather_big_owm','weather_owm'];

You cannot use OWM and Wunderground simultaneously.

Hi, how can I make the forecast.io frame in the Dutch language?

It looks very good by the way!

Add this to the url you used

lang=[language] optional
Return summary properties in the desired language. (Note that units in the summary will be set according to the units parameter, so be sure to set both parameters appropriately.) language may be:

en: English (which is the default)
nl: Dutch

in your case add lang=[nl] You need to do some digging in the Dashticz-files though

is there someone that have a windchill sensor or data can make a windchill?

Windchill is just the result of a formula with temperature and windspeed as factors.

I now...
Only what i look is a device that give me the chill in a sensor..

I have multiple weather data sensors
Only no separate windchill device..
Looks great on my dashboard.

I can build a dzVents script if you give me the names of your outside temperature device and the name of your windspeed device.
btw: did you reload the dzVents script for the months and got it working ?

Nope months scripts not working unfortunately..

How do you want my data?
pm or?
When you install the buienradar plugin you get a windchill perhaps you can split this data also?

And how do you calculate this chill?Is this a formula that is normal used by more weather stations??

Works:

: ScreenShot263.png (51.53 KiB) Viewed 8596 times

And is it perhaps possible that u send the calculate value to a text device
Something like:
The windchill is now -25 degrees [ where -25 the value is @ that moment ] [ Or in NL: De winchill is nu -25 graden ]

Dear Waaren..
Realy nice to see how you fix this..
The text is running also...
Only one thing
Probably your formula is wrong??
The chill is the same like outside temp..
And my other sensors give a different chill then your code:

: ScreenShot267.png (17.6 KiB) Viewed 8567 times

Yours:

So perhaps you can check?

edit:

The script is not running for more the a half hour.,,,
So where do i go wrong?

Hi Derik,

In the edited script below, I switched on debug logging so if you can check again and look at the relevant loglines (the ones with the text "setWindchill" in it)
I doublechecked the formula and it should report the windchill temp calculated using the JAG/TI-method JAG/TI-method

Please note that according to this JAG/TI calculation the windchill temperature is equal to the standard temperature for temperatures > 17 Celsius and for windspeeds < 1.3 meter/second.

Also the script does not update the textdevice if the windChill temperature has not changed in the last 10 minutes.

Code: Select all

-- setWindChill.lua

return { 
    on      =   {   timer  =   { "every 10 minutes" }}, -- the script will run every 10 minutes
                    
    logging =   {   level       =   domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,   -- this sets the loglevel. Options are LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG, LOG_ERROR or LOG_FORCE
                    marker      =  "setWindchill" },    -- the marker will ensure you can see where information comes from
    
    execute = function(dz)  -- the parm dz (short for domoticz) will ensure all information from domoticz is available in this script

Thanks for the great script!!!
Works fine until now...

Hope i can do sometime something for you!!!

Does not work for me. Dashticz ignores the code: no error, no weather block.

What should be in the omw_name?
How can I check city / country names? Is it case sensitive? Is every city a number?

Update: problem solved, was not on the latest beta of Dashticz

Hi, I am stuck,

config['owm_api'] = 'some_key';
config['owm_city'] = 'Mainaschaff';
config['owm_name'] = '';
config['owm_country'] = 'de';
config['static_weathericons'] = 1;

and then in the column
'currentweather_big_owm','weather_owm'

Because I can not find anything to get this to dutch language:
//forecast.io/embed/#lat=xxxxx/&lon=xxxxx&name=xxxxxx&lang=nl&color=#00aaff&font=Helvetica&fontcolor=#ffffff&units=si
Thus i decided to try the openweathermap.

So my headache is growing and growing, I have been searching, reading and trying for 8 hours straight and really have no clue how to get the openweathermap forecast 'currentweather_big_owm','weather_owm' in Dashticz. Looked in the weather.js, also no mention of OWM. So how does this 'currentweather_big_owm' or 'weather_owm' know where it has to get its data from. Where is the link, between 'weather_owm' and the config[owm]. I see the link between the wunderground, config[wu_api] etc and the 'weather_big' it is in the weather.js.

The forecast.io iframe thingy is working great, but in English, so bummer, saw they had widgets to embed, but played around with it, not succeeded, so tomorrow maybe.

Well then, if anyone has forecast.io working in the Dutch language, please share, like the correct link to put in the url: for the iframe,
Or anyone has the openweathermap config 'weather_owm' working please do tell. And not just a cryptic message, that I have to decipher, just a plain answer, please¿? Maybe to you this is all very simple, but I am no professor, and I'm just trying to make it work thru logic.

Thanks in advance.

I have a weird problem whereby, using the latest beta, the font colour in frames.weather switches on refreshiframe. Like many others, I replaced WU with

Code: Select all

frames.weather = {refreshiframe:1800000,height:230,frameurl:"http://forecast.io/embed/#lat=52.536129&lon=-5.453455&name=Lelystad&color=#00aaff&font=Helvetica&fontcolor=#ffffff&units=si&text-color=#fff",width:12}

First time the font is white but on refresh, it turns grey.

Any idea why that is and how to resolve?

Are you using Dashticz beta? OWM is not included in master.
