New plugin [pimatic-wunderground]

@saxnpaule

I was definitely not using the Frontend before 7 a.m

I cannot answer this. But as you can see, there are totally different intervals used for refreshing the data. This can’t be a programmatical issue.

version 0.2.1 released 2018-04-06

• fixed calculation of correct historical observation entry
• refactoring

My two cents: Pulling the data on browser refresh should be made optional. Otherwise, users with an API key on the free plan will quickly run out budget if they frequently use the Web UI.

@mwittig Could you please have a look at the code?

The frontend part only subscribes to the weather variable and changes the HTML accordingly. There is no explicit refresh triggered.

The _reloadWeather method is only called dependent on the configured interval. I really don’t know why it’s called more often at some users installation. I cannot reproduce this.

Sure, will do.
Sorry, btw. I have been mistaken by your earlier comment “Everytime you refresh your browser or every {interval} minutes.” So, I expected a browser refresh triggers it.

Yes, I also meant it in this way, because it’s the only possible explaination. But I can’t find any evidence in my code for this.

Now everything seems to work again. The values are refreshed on the frontend.

But im totally confused right now ^^ Calculating with different timezones is absolutely brain fuck

As you can see, the latest entry is from 11:00 UTC and 18:00 Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh.
At the moment its not possible to see the actual temperatures in UTC time. There should be an entry with 14:30 UTC and 21:00 Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh time.

Best regards,
André

Agree on this
It can be a total pain in the neck and it often takes several iterations to get it right.

I found the following site useful which contains information about current time, weather, sunrise, and history weather data. For example, see the following link. If you scroll a little bit further down you get table the half-hour values of the past 24 hours. If you use CEST as base time. Ho Chi Minh is five hours ahead. If you use UTC+1, it is six hours ahead of base time.

Mhh that’s strange. On my phone 5" FHD everything looks well.

With some delay I just want to show you what the plugin is looking like on my phone (Honor8, 5,2", FHD).
This is the original view of version 0.2.1

And this is my try to reduce the size. But I don’t get the forcast colum adjusted separatly without changing col1.

@SaxnPaule Do you have an idea how to solve this?

version 0.1.0 released 2018-03-25

• Provided heatindex as a variable
• Provided dewpoint as a variable

Is it possible to provide humidity as a variable?

Hi, I am totally new to the game!

first of all thx for this nice plugin!

Everything is running fine but I dont have now clou where and how to edit the appearence in the GUI. Like I want to add sunset/rise and the size of the columns etc. Which file do I have to edit???

Thx for pointing me in the right direction

Philipp

Sunset/rise isn’t provided by the wunderground plugin. Please refer to the sunrise plugin.

Editing the appearence is also not possible for the normal enduser. If you have CSS skills, you could try to edit the corresponding css file by your own.

version 0.2.3 released 2018-04-08

• refactored CSS to auto size line height

I changed the line-height to auto and added a nbsp; to the icon html. Now you should be able to style it on your own.

@SaxnPaule thanks a lot. I will try it later and give you feedback.

@SaxnPaule thanks a lot. Its working fine now.

Since a day or two, i guess since the last update, used in a variables device i get for both $wunderweather.currentWindDir and $wunderweather.currentWindString a value of -1. Restarting Pimatic and/or emptying cache does not help. Can anybody reproduce that?

Edit: according to the variables overview the attributes should give respectively ‘West’ and ‘Calm’

Hi @ all.
How can I display the rain of a private weather station?
The WundergroundDevice does not display a variable for rain and for the WundergroundHistoryDevice i can´t enter an ID of a PWS.

Hi @Flop2006 ,
The wunderground API does not provide the possibility to display rain data for the actual weather.

I also tested the history API with a PWS and didn’t get any data. You could also test it for your own by using this url:
http://api.wunderground.com/api/{YOUR-API-KEY}/conditions/lang:DL/q/pws:{YOUR-PWS-ID}.json

or

http://api.wunderground.com/api/{YOUR-API-KEY}/history_20180505/lang:DL/q/pws:{YOUR-PWS-ID}.json
