OpenWeatherMap daily forecast of weather condition using free API

Hello,

i’ve seen a number of examples calculating daily forecast min/max temp values based on the 3 hour forecast values already but in addition wanted to have one daily weather status as icon/text for today and tomorrow.

I also use item definitions and grouping to parse values and added a logic to rate weather status based on weather condition ID’s. Unfortunately they are not min/max so i needed to group them first from best to worst or in weather terms clear to thunderstorms:

  • Group 800: Clear
  • Group 80x: Clouds
  • Group 3xx: Drizzle
  • Group 5xx: Rain
  • Group 6xx: Snow
  • Group 7xx: Atmosphere
  • Group 2xx: Thunderstorm
    • 200: Thunderstorm|thunderstorm with light rain
    • 201: Thunderstorm|thunderstorm with rain
    • 202: Thunderstorm|thunderstorm with heavy rain
    • 210: Thunderstorm|light thunderstorm
    • 221: Thunderstorm|ragged thunderstorm
    • 230: Thunderstorm|thunderstorm with light drizzle
    • 231: Thunderstorm|thunderstorm with drizzle
    • 232: Thunderstorm|thunderstorm with heavy drizzle
    • 211: Thunderstorm|thunderstorm
    • 212: Thunderstorm|heavy thunderstorm

I use a map file to display the weather text and dynamic icons for the graphic, e.g.

Text item=LocalWeatherAndForecast_Today_WetterlageID label="Heute [MAP(wetter.map):%s]"
Text item=LocalWeatherAndForecast_Tomorrow_WetterlageID label="Morgen [MAP(wetter.map):%s]"

Hope this helps,
Dirk

I use german localization but should be straight forward using OpenWeathermap’s condition ID list.

Hi Dirk,
I ve been looking for such a use of openwheathermap data for a while. Thank your for your nice example. Im trying to use it in my set up, solved few issues : I think there was a “}” and an “end” missing in the rule code, also I had to add group items for gWeatherForecastTemp and other groups.
Im not so proficient in coding or openhab but tried find a solution by myself still
now stuck with this error :

Do you have any idea why the error happens?
Thanks

LE, after some more debugging I norowed the issue to this part
f.state.toString.substring(0,10)
this element is the cause of error, somohow the state might be null and substrig gets into error.

Has anyone fixed this bug? I’m seeing it, too.

No worries, got it resolved by myself: You need to make sure that all items of the group have a valid value (not NULL). I had more items defined than the configuration populated so some of them were NULL.

Many thanks for sharing the scripts, it is very helpful.

I tried to populate a couple of additional Items for the min/max temperature forecast. Now my rule looks like this:

//Today's "worst" weather condition
var Integer wID_num                         // loop variable for today's forecast Weather Condition ID
var Integer wIDmax_num = 0                  // day's worst weather condition ID

var Number today_min = -50|°C
var Number today_max = 50|°C
var String today_minmax
var Number tomorrow_min = -50|°C
var Number tomorrow_max = 50|°C
var String tomorrow_minmax
var Number day2_min = -50|°C
var Number day2_max = 50|°C
var String day2_minmax
val String todaystr = now.toString.substring(0,10)
val String tomorrowstr = (now.plusHours(24)).toString.substring(0,10)
val String day2str = (now.plusHours(48)).toString.substring(0,10)

Can somebody help me with this?

Many thanks in advance!

Hi @dirkb,
I’ve tried your settings but I can’t get OpenWeatherMap working. I’ve got multiple errors after setting the rule.

Do you know that problem? Maybe do you have an updated configuration that you could share?

Best wishes,

Hi all,

in the meantime I found a much simpler solution to get to daily forecasts:

Rather than picking the min/max temperatures and condition forecast from the 3-hourly forecasts, I use the “One Call API” provided by OpenWeatherMap: https://openweathermap.org/api/one-call-api
This API is also included in the free plan and can be queried with the HTTP-Binding.

The API is returning a JSON document, containing current weather data also as daily and hourly forecasts. The min/max values for the daily forecasts are already aggregated from the hourly values, so we don’t need no fancy rules to parse them. Only HTTP-Binding and JSONPATH Transformation are needed.

This is what I did:
First I used the caching feature of the HTTP-Binding to cache the API response for 10 minutes, so the API is not queried for every item:

services/http.cfg:

OpenWeatherMap_oneCallAPI_home.url=https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/onecall?lat=<xx.xx>&lon=<yy.yy>&units=metric&lang=de&appid=<API KEY>
OpenWeatherMap_oneCallAPI_home.updateInterval=600000

Of course you may change the URL parameters according to your needs. The parameters are described in the API documentation linked above.

And the item definitions look like this:

String					WeatherAndForecast_Today_WetterlageID																										{http="<[OpenWeatherMap_oneCallAPI_home:600000:JSONPATH($.daily[0].weather[0].id)]"}
Number:Temperature		WeatherAndForecast_Today_TemperatureMin				"Temperatur min"										<temperature>					{http="<[OpenWeatherMap_oneCallAPI_home:600000:JSONPATH($.daily[0].temp.min)]"}
Number:Temperature		WeatherAndForecast_Today_TemperatureMax				"Temperatur max"										<temperature>					{http="<[OpenWeatherMap_oneCallAPI_home:600000:JSONPATH($.daily[0].temp.max)]"}

String					WeatherAndForecast_Tomorrow_WetterlageID																									{http="<[OpenWeatherMap_oneCallAPI_home:600000:JSONPATH($.daily[1].weather[0].id)]"}
Number:Temperature		WeatherAndForecast_Tomorrow_TemperatureMin			"Temperatur min"										<temperature>					{http="<[OpenWeatherMap_oneCallAPI_home:600000:JSONPATH($.daily[1].temp.min)]"}
Number:Temperature		WeatherAndForecast_Tomorrow_TemperatureMax			"Temperatur max"										<temperature>					{http="<[OpenWeatherMap_oneCallAPI_home:600000:JSONPATH($.daily[1].temp.max)]"}

You can query the API URL directly in a browser to find out what’s in there and to get the JSON paths of the different values. Firefox is formatting JSON in recent versions, for Chrome you might need an extension such as “JSON Viewer” or similar.

I hope, someone will find this useful.

There is binding work happening with that API.

That’s great! Didn’t know that. As soon as the PR hits the official Binding, I can simply reconfigure my items from the HTTP Binding to the OpenWeatherMap Binding channels.

The new API will be best in the long run, but until then, you can also use this…

Thanks Scott, I already knew this article. It’s a very interesting solution and it’s a great example to show what is possible with OpenHAB. But for my usecase I need only temperature forecasts for the next 3 days and to fiddle around with beta scripting engines and hundreds of items just to find out a handful of values seemed a bit overpowered to me - no matter if they are automatically generated or not. :wink:

Hello everybody!
I did not create a new topic and wrote here.
I have a few questions. Help me understand.

  1. Question one



    Is it possible to fix it? I understand that this is due to the resolution of the icon.

  2. And the second question
    wnd_pressure1
    When sending data to telegram, these values ​​come to me.

/ This is the line from the pressure rule & item
//rule string 
+ "\n\u23F1 *Атмосферное давление:* " +owmForecastHour03Pressure.state

//Item string
Number:Dimensionless   owmForecastHour03WindDirection   "Направление ветра на ближайшие три часа [SCALE(wind.scale):%s]"  <wind>  (Prognoz) {channel="openweathermap:weather-and-forecast:api:local:forecastHours03#wind-direction"}
_____________

/ This is the line from the wind direction rule & item
//rule string
+ "\n\uD83E\uDDED *Направление ветра:* " +owmForecastHour03WindDirection.state

//Item string
Number:Pressure	 owmForecastHour03Pressure	"Давление на ближайшие три часа [%.0f mmHg]" <pressure>	(Prognoz) {channel="openweathermap:weather-and-forecast:api:local:forecastHours03#pressure"}

The result on the screenshot.

I tried this. it no work.

//Pressure (rule string)
+ "\n\u23F1 *Атмосферное давление:* " +String::format("%.0f mmHg", (owmForecastHour03Pressure.state as DecimalType).floatValue())

With the wind it is not at all clear what to do. Help.
Thank you for your responses!

Best regvards Alexandr

You can use transformations in rules, to get your wind direction.

You can format quantity types with their own method, see the last section of this post

Thanks!
I’ve dealt with the pressure. The data display is now normal.
It didn’t work out with the direction of the wind. An empty string comes to the telegram.

wd

rule "Test Morning 09 00 Weather Send telegram Message"
when
   //Time cron "0 01 09 ? * *"
 Item Date received update
then
   var WindDirection = transform("MAP", "wind.scale", owmForecastHour03WindDirection.state.toString )

    sendTelegram("bot", " *Test wind Direction & Pressure* "  + "\n\n\uD83E\uDDED *Направление ветра:* " + WindDirection
	+ "\n\u23F1 *Атмосферное давление:* " +owmForecastHour03Pressure.state.format("%.0f mmHg").toString )
end 

What am I doing wrong?

Isn’t your SCALE transformation an umm SCALE transformation, not a MAP?

I was wrong. transform (“MAP”, “wind.map”
But the data does not come exactly. The line is empty.

wind.map

[0..22] = North
[23..45] = NorthNorthEast
[46..67] = NorthEast
[68..90] = EastNorthEast
[91..112] = East
[113..135] = EastSouthEast
[136..157] = SouthEast
[158..180] = SouthSouthEast
[181..202] = South
[203..225] = SouthSouthWest
[226..247] = SouthWest
[248..270] = WestSouthWest
[271..292] = West
[293..315] = WestNorthWest
[316..338] = NorthWest
[339..360] = NorthNorthWest

That’s not a valid MAP. It looks like a SCALE. It was a SCALE when you used it here -

Why did you change the filename? What makes you think it will work by not using it as a SCALE?

Understood! Works! Thank you for your help!
