meteo input for dimmer

Post by tybreizh29 »

Hi
I want to open or close my rolling shutters depending on time and weather.
close shutters in the summer when it's too hot outside, the reverse in the winter.
in the web soft z-wave.me 2.2 I have the Weather plugin but I don't find out how to command dimmers with a weather input.
any idea ?
thanks for helping

You are right IFTHEN is not suitable, but LogicalRule is. The "standard" weather module only offers temperature as a value on which you can act. However in the appstore is (use v2.2.1-rc7) there is a module
WeatherUndergound by Maros Kollar with creates many more testable sensors (Also see his github source)

I've install WeatherUndergound additionally to OpenWeather.
but in the LogicalRule "Trigger rule check on activation of scenes" there is absolutely no input.
i guess i miss a strep. After having the weather module active, is there something to do to have it as an input for another module ?

Once you have installed Maros module (I just did) you'll see the following weather metrics:

Then you can specify for example in Logical Rule a Condition for Barometric pressure:

as far as i understand i need Maros BaseModule.
from my current install, if i click "add app", i got a " 404 Not Found. Requested data does not exists" message.
even if /opt/z-way-server/automation/modules/BaseModule exists and looks fine
why not, then i installed from https://github.com/maros/Zway-BaseModule using the git, followed the "Installation" chapter.

I still have the 404 error.

then i tried the
"Alternatively this module can be installed via the Z-Wave.me app store. Just go to Management > App Store Access and add 'k1_beta' access token."

but i don't see any remove or reinstall option, I tried to remove then directory /opt/z-way-server/automation/modules/BaseModule but that's not enough

sorry it's so long to fix :/

I did not install Maros' base module.
I could remove Maros' module as follows:
  • Under Active Apps I removed all (one in my case) instances of this module
  • Under Local Apps I removed Maros' module
If that does not help, I have to leave this to @Maros

I had no active BaseModule as I can't access BaseModule page.
For the Local apps, there is no uninstall button, see below.
Some module have the uninstall button, some don't.
But the first time I had BaseModule installed, there was an uninstall button, this time it's installed with git.

His Weather Underground module in the Appstore (you need v2.2.1-rc7 to find it)

(There is also an older Wunderground module by myself, which is simpler)
