FUNCTIONS
This Virtual Device reads the information on the level of ionized radiation from the http://radioactiveathome.org/map/.There are sensors distributed all over Europe, some in US, Japan and other countries.
INSTALLATION
For the VD to be functional the following has to be adjusted:
- The global variable 'temprad" has to be created
- Icon of the slider has to be updated as ' yellow radiation with timer'
- The code has to be adjusted in USER CONFIG Section (Values marked with ENTER in comments).
ThingSpeak API Key if one wants to push data to ThingSpeak. IDs of the Icons (green, yellow, orange, red, yellow with timer)
Coordiantes of the locaton of the sensor
How to know where are the sensors located and how to get their coordinates :
The map of the sensors is at: http://radioactiveathome.org/map/
Click on the dot of the sensor you want to know the location ID
You will see the popup with the information of the sensor.
Note 'Details Sensor' number
You need to see the source of the http://radioactiveathome.org/map/
Enter 'view-source:http://radioactiveathome.org/map/'
into the browser (eg. Chrome)
Press Ctrl-F to find the sensor number you noted earlier
Next to the number found you will see the coordinates
Enter coordinates into the code below.

I found a problem in your code: function getWebPageData() local HCnet=Net.FHttp("radioactiveathome.org") local webString,sepString,stationID,web_data=HCnet:GET("/map/"),'GLatLng',"0",{} When you do GET you are not checking if the exit code and status is correct so when there are some problems with radioactiveathome.org site the virtual device hangs and stops to collect any data anymore. You can simple correct this by: unction getWebPageData() local HCnet=Net.FHttp("radioactiveathome.org") local sepString,stationID,web_data='GLatLng',"0",{} local webString, status, errorCode = HCnet:GET("/map/") if ((tonumber(errorCode) == 0) and (tonumber(status) == 200)) then local _d_unit,_active,skip=unit(),true,false (...) else fibaro:debug("Error processing request, status: " .. status .. " | errorCode: " .. errorCode) end end
Can it be launched on HC Lite?
Newest version of this VD was published on marketplace : https://marketplace.fibaro.com/items/advanced-radiation-monitor-vd-v2-1 It is much more advanced, and ism hands free. No user input is needed. I do recommend to upgrade to this version 2.1 published by Sankotronic.
Terje, I did not know uradmonitor.com project earlier. They offered API interface for their data. The Radiation monitor I published is not easy to link to their project, but I will consider to focus on another, dedicated VD.
@Maciej Gawrysiak Thank you very much for your interest in Radiation Monitor. The version published here was significantly improved and enhanced by @Sankotronic. This new version is available at the following link : https://forum.fibaro.com/files/file/209-advanced-radiation-monitor-arm-vd-standalone/ Since we do have improved version available, one which was published here is not updated anymore.
