Hi all, I have been using this API for a while just to pull the air temp’s as I found other services varied quite a bit. It uses the probably not so new Data Hub now provided by the MET Office, to pull the data, and map it into OpenHab, with consideration of poll limits. (Assuming you are not cons…

Hi, David, Thanks for posting this. I’d like to give it a test, I’m using OpenHAB 3.4.1 (openhabian). I’m fairly new to OH though, and I could do with some help about how to install the MET Office binding. Could you please point me to some guidance for this (ok if it’s not specific to this particul…

Hi @AndrewJ49 , You have the same name as my old boss :slight_smile: I’ve rebuilt the JAR against the 3.4.X snapshot and it can be downloaded here: https://github.com/dag81/vesyncOpenhabPyPort/raw/main/manual%20builds/MetOfficeDH-TestOnly-3.4.X/org.openhab.binding.metofficedatahub-3.4.3-SNAPSHOT.ja…

David, Many thanks for your prompt reply. I should have mentioned that I’m running on Linux, which may make a slight difference to the exact process/locations. But even so, you’ve given me a good start there, thanks - I’ll have a dig around for my addon’s subdirectory and have a go with the jar file…

Hi @AndrewJ49 , Our core system here is run on ubuntu. For this binding previously I would have run the two commands like below after copying the jar file to my users home directory: sudo cp org.openhab.binding.metofficedatahub-3.4.3-SNAPSHOT.jar /usr/share/openhab/addons/ sudo chmod 777 /usr/share…

Hi again @dagoodyear , Sorry to trouble you again. I’ve done the steps above to place the 3.4.3 .jar file in /usr/share/openhab/addons/ and changed its permissions. I restarted OpenHAB and looked for the new binding in Settings/Bindings (in both the OpenHAB distribution and Community sections for …

I just checked the 3.4 build here again. It looks like I have updated bits for v4 for the PR, so its not showing when you do add bindings, on the 3.4 build I did for you. It does work with manual file based config’s on that build, as thats how I quickly checked it by copying the v4 configs to a 3.4 …

Thanks, David. I appreciate your help. That sounds good, but I wouldn’t want you to spend a lot of time on 3.4 as I guess your main priority is v4. I’m happy to test on 3.4.3 if it’s not too time-consuming for you though.

This looks great - should help me move away from my cobbled together ‘wrapper’ using the HTTP Binding ! Would you consider releasing the binding to the OH Marketplace whilst it is in review? As the review might take quite some time, being able to install from the Marketplace would reduce friction fo…

Hi @AndrewJ49 , Just found what I hadn’t backported a line of XML :frowning: I have replaced the 3.4 test build if you would still like to give it a go.

Hi @hafniumzinc , Thanks - I only found you post the other night after posting this thread (the only reason I was hesitant to approach it like you did from memory was I didn’t want to get near the poll limits of the account, and native bindings are usually easier). Usually I just let the bindings ge…
