[SOLVED] Weatherflow Smart Weather Station binding

Hello all-

I’ve put together a new release of my binding for Weatherflow Smart Weather stations.

Changes since the previous version from 08/2019:

  • Initial attempt at support for Tempest sensors. I don’t have one myself, so this will likely not work out of the gate
  • Rainfall should have 2 decimal places in UIs (though since it is not a cumulative measurement, this is likely something most folks will never see)
  • A few minor fixes for OpenHAB 2.5
  • Removed a few channels that don’t really work in local environments (local day rainfall, for example)

You may need to remove any items linked against this binding in order for the display changes to take effect… they seem to be checked only at item creation time.

I’m happy to hear bug reports from Tempest users. Note that I’ll need debug logs for this binding in order to be of any assistance. I recommend reading this thread to see how to do that. Also, this is an effort for which I have sporadic time available, so it may take some time to make progress on this.

To upgrade from a previous version, please uninstall the existing version by removing the jar from your addons directory and then using the bundle:uninstall /weatherflowbundleid/ command in the openhab client:

openhab> bundle:list | grep Smart
289 | Active |  80 | 2.5.11.202011011710     | openHAB Add-ons :: Bundles :: Weatherflow Smart Weather Binding
openhab> bundle:uninstall 289

It may also be worth the effort to restart openhab, as there are sometimes leftover bits running afterward.

You can find the new version here:

As always, comments and suggestions are welcome!
