Announcing OpenWeatherMap binding for Eclipse SmartHome / openHAB

Thanks! You are right! After I removed the entry from the .thing file the current temp values are coming in.

Bridge openweathermap:weather-api:api "OpenWeatherMap API" [apikey="xxx", refreshInterval=10, language="de", hourlyForecast=false, dailyForecast=false] {
    Thing weather local "Local weather" [location="47.xx,15.xx"]
    //Thing daily-forecast local "Local forecast" [location="47.xx,15.xx"]
}
  • OpenWeatherMap is offering a 3-hourly (free) forecast for the next 5 days but the binding is only providing data for the next 24 hours.
  • Openweathermap is offering a daily (paid) forecast for the next 16 days but the binding is only providing data for the next 5 days.

So if you have a free API key you can (should) only activate the 3-hourly forecast.
Then it works fine… :wink:

@itbeyond @benschi11 Is everything clear right now? Does @ordonot s answer clarify your questions?

I have tweaked the ONLINE/OFFLINE behavior for the things a little bit. It will be better if only the service goes OFFLINE which is not available for the given API key and not everything.

@ordonot I have implemented a new channel for icons as well.

Unfortunately it is currently not possible to upload a new test version for you, because it depends on two fixes in the ESH framework. We have to wait for a new snapshot version based on the next ESH build.

Be in touch.

Hi

I added a transformation map to get the wind direction output in plain text, if someone interested.

Item File

Number:Angle owmCurrentWindDirection "Current wind direction [SCALE(wind.scale):%s]" <wind> 	{ channel="openweathermap:weather:api:local:current#wind-direction" }

wind.scale

[0..22] = North
[23..45] = NorthNorthEast
[46..67] = NorthEast
[68..90] = EastNorthEast
[91..112] = East
[113..135] = EastSouthEast
[136..157] = SouthEast
[158..180] = SouthSouthEast

@cweitkamp - thanks for your response yes I have the system working now and understand the 5day only showing 24hrs and 16 days paid subscription. My main issue you seem to indicate has been looked at which was the whole API and all services go offline of you make the daily subscription on a free account.

Thank you very much @Nanna_Agesen. I have done something similar. But my scale transformation looks a little bit different (rotated by 11.25° counterclockwise). Why? In your case 181° - 202° will be transformed to South. But from my point of view South should be valid for 180° ± 11.25°.

windDirection.scale:

[0..11.25[ = N
[11.25..33.75[ = NNE
[33.75..56.25[ = NE
[56.25..78.75[ = ENE
[78.75..101.25[ = E
[101.25..123.75[ = ESE
[123.75..146.25[ = SE
[146.25..168.75[ = SSE
[168.75..191.25[ = S
[191.25..213.75[ = SSW
[213.75..236.25[ = SW
[236.25..258.75[ = WSW
[258.75..281.25[ = W
[281.25..303.75[ = WNW
[303.75..326.25[ = NW
[326.25..348.75[ = NNW
[348.75..360] = N

I can second that (I used to be a navigator on a maritime airplane!). I’ll never forget the "2 Strich achterlicher als querab":wink:

I have made a node-red node that does the same like a windrose indicator. You can also adjust the accuracy so you can have it with the 4 cardinal points WENS or 8, N,NE,E…
or 16 like nana’s for 32 or even 64 and 128…
I’ll dig it up and adapt it for a JS transform. (On my list do do now…)

You are absolute right, I had misread my windrose picture :slight_smile:

Tried it out I get this error though?

Trying to transform value 270

10:01:09.516 [ERROR] [.ui.internal.items.ItemUIRegistryImpl] - transformation throws exception [transformation=org.eclipse.smarthome.transform.javascript.internal.JavaScriptTransformationService@346f388e, value=270]

I just adapted the code, I actually didn’t test it,
Let me check it out

    var point = Math.floor(degrees / step);

    response = compass_points[point][valueReturned]

    return response;
}) (input)

That works for me: depth = 5, input = 96, output = E½S

Dear all,

A new ESH snapshot build (281) has been released. And a new OH2 snapshot build (1316) based on it.

You can download a new Testversion of the OWM binding here (requires ESH build 281 or higher and / or OH2 build 1316 or higher). I will not update the marketplace version immediately.

New changes:

  • Removed max-outdoor-temperature and min-outdoor-temperature channels from current weather
  • Request hourly or daily forecast data only if enabled in API configuration
  • Reviewed labels and descriptions of all entities and added German translations
  • Added channel for icon
  • Changed channel-types to new default system channel-types
  • Moved error and thing status handling to thing handler
  • Added channels for weather station data

Have fun & good luck

Christoph

Hi Christophe. I’ve downloaded the latest jar ‘org.eclipse.smarthome.binding.openweathermap-0.10.0-SNAPSHOT.jar’, but I don’t see the icon channel.

Hi Nigel, please try to recreate your Things. New Channels are not added automatically to an existing Thing.

Hi Christophe, Spot on! Thanks for such a swift reply :slight_smile:
