Waether Binding and Items

Add-ons Bindings

Hello Community,

I’m useing OpenHAB for a few weeks, so I’m quiet inexperienced.
I’m having some wired trouble with my weather binding and the weather providers.
First of all wind degree isn’t showing up:

item: String Windrichtung_Grad "Windrichtung Grad [%.0f °]" <wind> (Wetter,Wetter_per) {weather="locationId=home, type=wind, property=degree"}
Log: 2015-10-25 11:08:24 - Windrichtung_Grad state updated to 340
But the GUI shows: Windrichtung Grad - °

And I’m also searching for a weather provider, whichs provides UV Index and “precipitation - probability”. Do you know which Providers will provide this data in germany?
Using Yahoo and WorldWeatherOnline (which sould provide UV data):

Any advice to me?

Kind regards

Hi Manuel,

You could try to use forecast.io. They provide the precipitation probability for the current day and the next 7 days. I do not use that item, but I see in the TRACE log that this is part of the feed

Precipitation[rain=0.0178,snow=0.0,probability=4]

For your other issue with the wind degree : I suspect the item should be a Number instead of a String. Or you using the wrong property and use Direction instead of degree. (Also here no personal experience with this, just a hint :slight_smile: )
