Domoticz

This Domoticz plugin gets the expected percipitation at your location from https://www.buienalarm.nl/. Other weather hardware/plugins only show the current situation. This plugin shows the rain expectations for the coming 2 hours.

You can use the Alert device to trigger actions, like closing windows, etc.

Plugin can be found @ https://github.com/Xorfor/Domoticz-Buienalarm-Plugin

Look at the README.md for more information.

I have still the following issues:

1. It seems that the api is also working for some countries. I didn't have time to do some more investigation. Therefore this plugin can only be used in the Netherlands and is also in the Dutch language.
2. I am using the Rain device from Domoticz, but also expects the total rainfall, which I can not measure/calculate. Any suggestions.
3. The Domoticz Alert device has 5 levels. I didn't find a better definition for these levels.

Hello Xorfor, looks nice and something I can use, but I am unable to install the plugin. What I did is copy the plugin.py to the Domoticz plugin directory and set the permission for execution and restarted the RPi (with raspbian-stretch and Domoticz v 4.9700). There is no buienalarm plugin listed on the hardware page to add. Is there something else I have to do to use your plugin?

Thanks,
Zoek

Make a new directory WITHIN the plugins, and copy plugin.py there

Hello EdwinK, Thanks for suggestion, but already done that, so must be something else. Also the log does not give any errors.

Just tested the python plugin and when as described the plugin is placed in a folder in the plugin folder with (755) is appears after restart of domoticz in a few minutes in the hardware as buienalarm. On activation three new devices are created and every 5min these are updated depending on the buienalarm status.

Good work

Hi,

I just installed the plugin into /home/pi/domoticz/plugins/buienalarm/plugin.py. But it doesn't appear in my Hardware. Any suggestions?

Hi,

Did you change rights to 755 (execute) and restart domoticz?

Hi all,

is it possible to make a graph, like the app from Buienalarm does, that you can see for the next 2 hours, when and how much rain is comming?

Hi, @mojojojo490

Do you mean, something like this?

You can use the native Buienradar "hardware", instead of the Python Plug-in.
