Hi @rossko57,

I am not aware of any existing solution for your request but I like the idea behind it. If you need it quickly I would suggest to implement the transformation (MAP?) approach. [Here](https://github.com/openhab/openhab1-addons/blob/master/bundles/binding/org.openhab.binding.weather/src/main/resources/weather/common-id-mappings.xml) you can find a list of the common ID mappings of the 1.x weather binding.

For the long run I would suggest to implement it in the weather bindings itself. But it does not make sense that every weather binding implements the mapping on its own - it is hard to maintain. Thus a global place for it should be preferred.

IIRC an experimental binding for weather calculations is available via the Eclipse Marketplace. Maybe that is an idea.

> Hi All, During the course of writing a binding for the WeatherFlow SmartWeather series of weather stations, it occurred to me that some of the data presented by weather stations is derived from actual observations, and thus isn’t specific to any one product. Hoping to make life easier for other folks who have weather stations that are (or might be) supported by OpenHAB in the future, I created a binding that generates these derived values. This binding is called Weather Calculations and you ca…

My 2ct. Wdyt?
