[SOLVED] Open Weather Map Current Temp?

Add-ons Bindings
1

Hello,

My Yahoo Weather quit working so I switched to Open Weather Map which is up and running.
I am using the following:
Raspberry Pi with the latest 2.4 openHabian snapshot.

The issue I’m having is my R_Heater switch is not responding to the OutdoorTemp change using Open Weather Map but it worked with Yahoo Weather? Now no matter if the temperature changes R_Heaters is turned off.

Number:Temperature OutdoorTemp "Outside Temperature"  {channel="openweathermap:weather-and-forecast:XXXXXXX:local:current#temperature"}

Switch R_Heaters "Roof Heaters" ["lighting"] {channel="zwave:device:41ac03b3:node43:switch_binary"}

rule "Roof Heaters Snow and Ice"
    when
        Item OutdoorTemp changed    
    then
        if ((OutdoorTemp.state >= 15) && (OutdoorTemp.state <= 35)) {
           R_Heaters.sendCommand(ON)   
    }
      else
          R_Heaters.sendCommand(OFF) 
end

end
I modified the code as shown below thinking that "Temperature:Number is not being read by openhab as a number so I added “var ost”

rule "Roof Heaters Snow and Ice"
    when
        Item OutdoorTemp changed    
    then
        var Number ost = OutdoorTemp.state as Number
        if ((ost >= 15) && (ost <= 35)) {
           R_Heaters.sendCommand(ON)   
    }
      else
          R_Heaters.sendCommand(OFF) 
end

Log displays the following:

Any Ideas will be appreciated!

Here is my code change:

rule "Roof Heaters Snow and Ice"
    when
        Item OutdoorTemp changed    
    then
        var Number ost = (OutdoorTemp.state as QuantityType<Number>).doubleValue
        if ((ost >= 15) && (ost <= 35)) {
           R_Heaters.sendCommand(ON)   
    }
      else { R_Heaters.sendCommand(OFF)
      }
end

Thank you very much!

Seems a clumsy thing to me, but it works which is the important part :slight_smile:
