Thanks for your feedback.
I understand your point and will look if I find a solution for the felt temperature.

I can confirm that this binding works very well

166

I tried it also and it works for me as well.

Hi to all.
Get someone updated rain und snow values. It’s raining and the current rainvolume is still 0,0 mm. No update all the time.
Thanks and greetings,
Markus

Hello,
same problem as Markus,
It is raining since 2 hours, OWM shows a current value >0.00 mm but I see always 0,00 mm on the HABPanel.

Guys,

Can you do me a favor and enable debug logging for org.eclipse.smarthome.binding.openweathermap and send me the response for the current weather request? Thanks in advance.

But my location is wrong. It’s not Berlin. I have changed it in the demo.thing. But its wrong again.

Bridge openweathermap:weather-api:api "OpenWeatherMap Account" [apikey="xxx", refreshInterval=10, language="de"] {
    Thing weather-and-forecast local "Local Weather And Forecast" [location="51.xx,6.xx", forecastHours=3, forecastDays=0]
    //Thing weather-and-forecast miami "Weather And Forecast In Miami" [location="25.782403,-80.264563", forecastHours=24, forecastDays=0]
}

Greetings and thanks for help,
Markus

Now i have set the regional settings in Paper UI and took this for location in demo.thing.

Bridge openweathermap:weather-api:api "OpenWeatherMap Account" [apikey="xxx", refreshInterval=10, language="de"] {
    Thing weather-and-forecast local "Local Weather And Forecast" [location="51.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx,6.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", forecastHours=3, forecastDays=0]
    //Thing weather-and-forecast miami "Weather And Forecast In Miami" [location="25.782403,-80.264563", forecastHours=24, forecastDays=0]
}

And now i get:

But no rain volume.

Thanks for creating the logs. But I gave you a misinformation. We need a TRACE log to see request and response. Sry, my fault.

173

https://openweathermap.desk.com/customer/portal/questions/16790933-rain-parameter-not-showing-up-

Rain item is showing “1h” in the case when data are received from weather stations directly.
The fact is that some METAR stations do not have precipitation indicators or do not measure precipitation conditions due to some other technical reasons.
In this case, we use model data. So, rain item is showing “3h” when our system returns an API response based on model data.

See Weather parameters in API response.

174

@cweitkamp: How can I build a TRACE log?

175

@woanne67 have a look here.

176

Thanks for this binding, it seems to work very well (was one of the reasons I immediately upgraded to 2.4.0).

One suggestion: When auto-creating items in PaperUI, use shorter default item names. They get so long (especially in German), that mysql cannot always create the persistence table.

I now recreated everything, using item names like LocalWeatherAndForecast_03_Luftfeuchtigkeit instead of LocalWeatherAndForecast_ForecastHours03_VorhergesagteLuftfeuchtigkeit.

177

You’re welcome. It was fun. Why “seems”? It “does”! Doesn’t it?

Why are those long item names a problem for mysql persistence? I’m afraid I couldn’t follow. In my database all tables follow the following naming convention: itemXXX (XXX = 000 - 999). The item’s name is stored in a separate table holding a reference to the itemXXX table. I’m using mariadb with JDBC persistence.

178

It “seems” because I have only tested it for 1 day. :wink:

The long table names are a problem because I configured

tableUseRealItemNames=true
tableIdDigitCount=0

in “jdbc.cfg”. I like to find my data more quickly. :slight_smile:

179

Okay, now I get it. Totally missed that configuration. And let me guess: table names are restricted to a maximum of 64 characters
 Fortunately you’re able to choose the item name in Paper UI on your own. :wink:

180

Great Bindings, one thing i can’t figure it out is how to change default metric unit in OpenWeatherMap bindings (OH2.4)?,in the old (1.) weather bindings the cfg file had that setting enabled via “location.home.units=
”
i can’t seemed to find any place to put it in paper ui or any other place (fresh install of openhabian on rp).

There are several ways how to set the default unit system in your setup. E.g. globally or for every Number item separately. If you do it globally, every UoM item uses the default unit in your preferred unit system. On item level you can replace the term %unit% by your favorite unit for the related quantity (see here for more information).

182

appreciate info, setting value for %unit% worked -:slight_smile:
