pretty GOOD JOB, thank you
Me again, I forgot to mention, that I own a HCL 3 Light.
Dear Sankotronic, Thank you very much! Finally I have my sunscreen up and running synchronised with the current cloud percentage, temp, rain, etc. I am not a programmer, just a block scene user and with some fidling, the Weather Map QA 1.3 Open Weather, did the trick. I will make a donation, the use of this QA is priceless. (I do not know Sankotronic and the above is spontanious)
Hello Anthony, I have added requested minimum and maximum temperatures child devices. Just to make package and to upload it here and on Fibaro forum. Thank you for suggestion!
Thank you for this interesting weather provider. I installed it to try and automate climate control and part of that is knowing the maximum and minimum temperatures and if the weather is or will be sunny/clear. I am using lines like: local currentTemp = hub.getValue(174, "Temperature", "*") 174 is the ID of the parent in my system. The Temperature child is at 187 and declares obs_type as "temperature" but the call to 174 needs capital T. I think this might be the problem with calling "temp_max" from 174, or from the child 182, neither work and I've guessed all sorts of alternatives without joy... Is there a list of obs_type that can be called, and if appropriate, which device to call them from?
