You are right…
I’m running on 2.3 and i used the newest version.
Thanks you for the fast help.
And i really like the Binding.
It’s an good alternative to the weatherunderground-binding.
I must be missing something… I am running OH2.3 … How do I install this OWM binding ?

I got the JAR from here
Then i copied it to following directory on my PI:
/usr/share/openhab2/addons/
For me it worked without restart/reboot.
So, I’m on a Synology OpenHab2.3.0 and I used PaperUI to install the OpenWeatherMap market:binding-4126092 - 1.0. Now I get the same ‘Cannot find channel type: system:outdoor-temperature’ errors as Vradatta reports.
It used to work fine, but I’ve updated the Synology version (not the OpenHab version I believe) and had to reinstall everything (no backups, lesson learned there) which broke OWM.
Now I’ve tried to make something of your comment:
Have a look here for two versions based on different requirements.
But I believe you’re trying to direct us to the different Jar files found here
In any case, I’ve added the 2.3 jar to the addons directory, but now the log reports the following:
2018-09-30 10:09:50.317 [WARN ] [org.apache.felix.fileinstall ] - Error while starting bundle: file:/volume1/SmartHome/openHAB/addons/org.eclipse.smarthome.binding.openweathermap-0.10.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Could not resolve module: org.eclipse.smarthome.binding.openweathermap [231]
Another singleton bundle selected: osgi.identity; type="osgi.bundle"; version:Version="0.10.0.201808271132"; osgi.identity="org.eclipse.smarthome.binding.openweathermap"; singleton:="true"
Any suggestions on how to proceed?
Yes, it looks like the link changed due to a rebate of my code. Thanks for the update.
The log message tells you that a second version of the OWM binding is installed. Did you remove the market place version before you put the jar file into your addons folder manually?
Apparently when I threw the jar in the addons directory, OH got very confused. I had to jump through a lot of hoops to get the bindings and their Things removed. (I had to completely remove the jar, restart OH and then remove the Things. The things would still show up as ‘uninitialized’ but in the end I ignored that).
After removing I put the jar back and I setup the Things. When they were configured it all worked again. I had some trouble with scripts, but I managed to fix that as well.
Well, thank you for supplying us with the jar.
I know what you mean. Have some hassles from time to time too. Hopefully the binding will be finalized and merged soon. Afterwards it will be easier to handle it from a user perspective. I am happy that my work is appreciated by the community - which leads to my personal satisfaction.
Thank you all for your feedback and testing.

First of all thank you very much for that binding. It´s working right out of the box.
I´ve just one question: I´m running OH 2.3 and I´ve installed the old version. When using the examples made by kugelsicha, there is something wrong with the winddirection. When I use this item
Number:Dimensionless owmCurrentWindDirection "Aktuelle Windrichtung [SCALE(wind.scale):%s]" <wind> (gOwmCurrent) {channel="openweathermap:weather:api:local:current#wind-direction"}
I get:
owmCurrentWindDirection changed from 3.839724354387525069232119690674947 to 3.665191429188092111539750613826088
or
owmCurrentWindDirection changed from 2.967059728390360280770274306430641 to 2.792526803190927323077905229581780
Using wind.scale, the wind is alwasy coming from the north (that´s not untypical here but in this case it was not true).
When using
Number:Angle owmCurrentWindDirection "Aktuelle Windrichtung [SCALE(wind.scale):%s]" <wind> (gOwmCurrent) {channel="openweathermap:weather:api:local:current#wind-direction"}
I get the correct direction, for example:
owmCurrentWindDirection changed from NULL to 200.0 °
But then I get
Could not transform '200.0 °' with the file 'wind.scale' : Scale can only be used with numeric inputs
Where did I go wrong? Thanks a lot.
Nowhere
It’s another unintended consequence of the Units Of Measurement system
Even though the value is 200, it is represented as 200.0 ° and for the SCALE transform that’s not a number…
So I use a String item, a rule and a javascript transform:
String WindDirection2 "Wind direction [%s]" <winddirection> // Set in weather.rules
rule "Windrose"
when
Item WindDirection changed
then
var direction = WindDirection.state as Number
var windrose = transform("JS", "windrose.js", direction.toString)
WindDirection2.postUpdate(windrose)
end
Transform

Hi Leif,
I am not sure what is the exact reason why your examples are not working. I use it in this way - which works quite nice:
Number:Angle owmWindDegree "Windrichtung [%d %unit%]" <wind> { channel="openweathermap:weather:api:local:current#wind-direction" }
In the sitemap:
Frame label="Windrichtung" {
Text item=owmWindDegree label="Windrichtung [SCALE(windDirection.scale):%s]"
Text item=owmWindDegree
}
Why? I do not think we need an item containing the transformed value. The transformation is important for us in the moment we want to find out the current wind direction and thus I apply it only in the sitemap.
That´s it. I´ve moved the transformation from the item to the sitemap. Now it´s working really well. Thank´s a lot.
if anyone needs this to translate in his own language, here you go:

Is this still under development or can it be used safely in long run environments ? As I can only find testversions like here: https://github.com/cweitkamp/smarthome/commit/b649ac809cdddb61dcd86f3af04db48c1ec81569#commitcomment-30297201
Dear Raymond,
Yes, it is still in development. I am working on the final version this week.
Breaking news.
First code review has passed and with it a great redesign of things for current weather and forecast was introduced. Unfortunately the current structure of the things had to be changed. Now they are combined into a new single thing. Good news are: Now you are able to configure the number of forecast hours and / or days on your own - no limitations - except the API bound restrictions.
You can download a new Testversion here (requires ESH build 306 or higher and / or OH2.4.M5 milestone 5 / or OH2.4 build 1405 or higher). Older versions (e.g. for OH2.3 release) are not supported anymore. I have updated the marketplace version too.
Major changes:
-
Attention: Added single thing
weather-and-forecastfor weather and forecast - combines all three previous available things
– Fair warning: The thingsweather,hourly-forecastanddaily-forecastwill be removed in the final version - Added dynamic number of hours / days for forecast - you now can change the number of forcasted hours / days in the thing configuration
– hourly forecast is now supported from 3h up to 120h instead of 24h (24h are default)
– daily forecast is now supported from 0 days up to 16 days instead of 5 days (5 days are default) - Finalized documentation
- Finalized German translations - more translations in other languages are welcome; please PM me if you like to help
- Introduced dedicated channel-types for forcasted data and removed
icon-idchannel - Removed discovery of the OpenWeatherMap Account - you now have to add it manually
- Code improvements and stability
Thanks you very much for feedback.
Best,
Christoph

Hi Christoph.
I can’t get the binding running. Yesterday i moved to milestone M5 and nothing changed. Before i used the stable version.
Do i need the things.file or can i configure it by paper UI.
If i use your thingdemo.file i get the error missing EOT at : line1,22.
Can you help me,
thanks and greetings,
Markus
Hi Markus,
What a pitty. The example for demo.things from the latest documentation is broken. bridge has to start with a capital letter: Bridge. Thank you very much for reporting this.
Here is a fixed version:
Bridge openweathermap:weather-api:api "OpenWeatherMap Account" [apikey="AAA", refreshInterval=30, language="de"] {
Thing weather-and-forecast local "Local Weather And Forecast" [location="XXX,YYY", forecastHours=0, forecastDays=7]
Thing weather-and-forecast miami "Weather And Forecast In Miami" [location="25.782403,-80.264563", forecastHours=24, forecastDays=0]
}

2018-11-03 00:06:09.422 [thome.event.ExtensionEvent] - Extension 'binding-weather1' has been installed.```Hi @adtwomey,
After installing the binding you have to create a bridge thing and put your credentials of your OWM account into its configuration. Afterwards the weather and forecast thing will be discovered automatically after a few seconds.
The log you have posted here is not related to the OWM binding. It shows messages for the OH1 weather binding.
So it’s not supported on a stable release of OH? I’ll wait for OH2.4 to become stable.
