Add a WXONLINE I/O Server in the [[Settings#I/O Servers|I/O Servers section of the Settings]] and set its parameters.

{{note|Note that the WXONLINE I/O Server doesn't count in the I/O servers license total, so you don't need an extra I/O Server license to use WXONLINE with HSYCO.}}

The 'location' option is required. To obtain the WOEID of the desired location, go to the [http://weather.yahoo.com Yahoo! Weather home page] and enter the location name in the search field. The WOEID will be at the end of the URL for the forecast page for that location. For example, if you search for Los Angeles, the forecast page for that city is <nowiki>"http://weather.yahoo.com/united-states/california/los-angeles-2442047"</nowiki>. The WOEID is 2442047.
+
The 'location' option is required. To obtain the ID of the desired location, look for it [http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz this list]. Otherwise, you can specify the geographic coordinates of the location using the format "<latitude>:<longitude>" (e.g. "45.461001:9.183567"), with latitude and longitude expressed as decimal degrees.
 +
 
 +
The 'key' option can be obtained [https://home.openweathermap.org/users/sign_up creating an account on OpenWeatherMap]. If this option is not specified, a default API key will be used and the 'pollinterval' option wont't allow for values below 60.

=== Conditions and categories ===
 +
 +
The following table shows the possible weather condition values and their categorization.
 +
 +
Categories are used to summarize relevant aspects of a specific condition so to simplify programming logic. The available categories are: clear (c), precipitation (p), storm (s), partly cloudy (pc), and low visibility (lv). For some conditions (e.g. “windy”) the categorization is not feasible; in such cases (denoted by "xx") the category datapoints will not be updated so to maintain the previous condition.

This driver provides weather information and forecasts retrieved from OpenWeatherMap.

HSYCO Configuration

Add a WXONLINE I/O Server in the I/O Servers section of the Settings and set its parameters.

Note that the WXONLINE I/O Server doesn't count in the I/O servers license total, so you don't need an extra I/O Server license to use WXONLINE with HSYCO.


High Availability

  • Shutdown when inactive: defaults to true.

Options

ID Default Values Description
gui true true enable support for the UI object and UISET actions
false disable UI support
pollinterval 10 n >= 10 the data acquisition interval, in minutes
location <id> or <lat>:<lon> ID of the target location or coordinates
key <key> OpenWeatherMap API key

The 'location' option is required. To obtain the ID of the desired location, look for it this list. Otherwise, you can specify the geographic coordinates of the location using the format "<latitude>:<longitude>" (e.g. "45.461001:9.183567"), with latitude and longitude expressed as decimal degrees.

The 'key' option can be obtained creating an account on OpenWeatherMap. If this option is not specified, a default API key will be used and the 'pollinterval' option wont't allow for values below 60.

Datapoints

ID Value R/W Description
connection online R connection established
offline R HSYCO can't connect to the panel
location <location> R the target location is set to <location> (e.g. “New York, NY, United States”)
<id> or
<lat>:<lon> 		W set the location to the specified value
condition <condition> R the current weather condition (refer to the conditions table for a complete list of possible values)
condition.clear 1 R the current condition is categorized as “clear”
0 R the current condition is not categorized as “clear”

0 R the current condition is not categorized as "partly cloudy”
condition.low_visibility 1 R the current condition is categorized as “low visibility”
0 R the current condition is not categorized as “low visibility”
temp.c <val> R the reported current temperature corresponds to <val> (expressed in °C)
temp.f <val> R the reported current temperature corresponds to <val> (expressed in °F)
humidity <val> R the reported current humidity percentage corresponds to <val>
pressure <val> R the reported current pressure in inches of mercury (inHg) corresponds to <val>. Multiply by 33.86389 to obtain the equivalent hPa value
wind.speed <val> R the reported current wind speed corresponds to <val> (expressed in Km/h)
wind.dir <val> R the reported current wind direction corresponds to <val> (expressed in degrees)
forecast.day.<n>

0 R the forecasted condition for day <n> is not categorized as "precipitation"
forecast.condition.storm.<n> 1 R the forecasted condition for day <n> is categorized as "storm"
0 R the forecasted condition for day <n> is not categorized as "storm"
forecast.condition.partly_cloudy.<n> 1 R the forecasted condition for day <n> is categorized as "partly cloudy"
0 R the forecasted condition for day <n> is not categorized as "partly cloudy"
forecast.condition.low_visibility.<n> 1 R the forecasted condition for day <n> is categorized as "low visibility"
0 R the forecasted condition for day <n> is not categorized as "low visibility"

Conditions and categories

The following table shows the possible weather condition values and their categorization.

Categories are used to summarize relevant aspects of a specific condition so to simplify programming logic. The available categories are: clear (c), precipitation (p), storm (s), partly cloudy (pc), and low visibility (lv). For some conditions (e.g. “windy”) the categorization is not feasible; in such cases (denoted by "xx") the category datapoints will not be updated so to maintain the previous condition.

Condition Categories
blowing_snow p, lv
blustery xx
clear_night c
cloudy
cold xx
drizzle p
dust lv
fair_day pc
fair_night pc
foggy lv
freezing_drizzle p
