Buienradar settings

Holiday so time for the hobby.

I saw a buienradar_rain script when I was logged in with FTP.
I have adjusted the data.
I have a dummy rain sensor.

But now?
I need a crontab?
What does this sensor?
What else can I set?

It will tell you the change (in percentage) of rain in the next 5 minutes
you could use a script/blockly to close your windscreens/doors/....

i added a crontab job with the command

Code: Select all

crontab -e
that looks like

Code: Select all

*/5 * * * * perl /home/<USER>/domoticz/buienradar_rain.pl
(you have to change <USER> with your domoticz user, for instance pi or linaro)

and i think you can leave the IP to 127.0.0.1 (and add this IP in your local networks in the domoticz settings page)

this script runs locally on your cubietruck, so you can use the local ip address 127.0.0.1
in domoticz, enter this 127.0.0.1 in your local network settings, so it will not need a password

if you type

crontab -e

(was already installed)

then enter the following line

*/5 * * * * perl /home/linaro/domoticz/buienradar_rain.pl

that is, if you installed domoticz in the folder /home/linaro/domoticz

Looks good...

Code: Select all

linaro@cubie:~$ sudo perl /home/linaro/domoticz/scripts/buienradar_rain.pl
OK, precip=0.00

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Cookies;

my $lat=50.22041;
my $long=5.89744;
my $domoticz_ip="192.168.5.70";
my $domoticz_port="8080";
my $domoticz_sensor_idx="3904";
my $duration=15;

my @user_agents = (
		'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows 98)'
	);
Only it is killing my dummy rain sensor:

You have to use a percentage sensor

Okay ...[ Thanks! ]
And the higher the percentage, the more chance of rain?

Too bad he is not active weather sensors. ;)

correct, 20-30 is a good change, best to look outside when it is raining, and check the percentage

Update problem...
After the last update a red device....

I try:

Code: Select all

linaro@cubie:~$ sudo perl /home/linaro/domoticz/scripts/buienradar_rain.pl
Error sending data to domoticz!
So it is not working any more..

I make no changes....

Are there more problems?

yes, you need to copy this template to another location, edit it, and then use it in the crontab

;)
