Hi bpwwer Weather Link has been working great. Thanks. I have run across one issue. The Yearly rain doesn't appear to be conveyed from the NS to the ISY. I don't see that filled in on the admin console. I do see it in the Weatherlink NS log however. I think it has always been filled in until I upgraded to v.5.0.16b. Not sure that would have anything to do with it or not. No rush at all but maybe take a look later. Thanks Gary Update: Yearly rain showed up after I started receiving some rain today. So it seems to be working. I had thought that a query would have brought it up. Thanks

I too have started to get the "device not responding" message. Also some slow downs of routines . I notified Amazon about the issue. In the past I was getting sporadic long delays in responses or no responses to routines I had set up. Mostly voice responses. Now like then I told them that their servers for my area are under powered. I see we are all from the same general area. I could be wrong about this but in the past the problem cleared shortly after my issue was escalated up to their engineering staff. Gary

jfailenschmid Hi I have the Somfy MyLink and use tcp commands setup in the ISY's network resources to control Somfy motors. You mentioned a node server for MyLink but I was not able to find any in PolyGlot for the MyLink. Just the URTSii that uses a serial connection. Is a MyLink node server something that may be available in the future? Thanks for any info. Gary

Hi Jim I just saw the update in the store and gave it a try. It comes back with pullRepo: undefined. I also stopped weatherlink and tried the update but same result. Thanks Gary I tried again and rebooted the ISY and PolyGlot and all is working now. Thanks

Hi Jim Everything works perfectly. I was wondering if maybe we could replace 'Rain Size' with a more useful reading like 'Rainfall year' . I finally found that Rain Size just means what the spoons are calibrated to tip at (factory set). Either 0.01 inches or 5 mm . Even though the spoon calibration can mechanically be adjusted I don't think this reading will change. It also can't be changed through WeatherLink software. Thanks Gary

Hi Jim I don't have the soil sensor but I was thinking about it. But the cost is a bit high and probably not useful in my situation.. No water sprinklers to active if the grass needs water. I have set up wind programs to retract the SunSetter awning if the gust gets to high. All works great and again thanks. Gary

Hi larryllix I am looking for bright white led strips at around 3000k. The rgbww looks like the best choice. All the brands seem to use the same wifi controller. At least it looks that way. I just need one that is rgbww and comparable with the Magic Home or Yee Light node server. Can't seem to fine Magic or Yee that have the rgbww.

Hi I am looking to install some LED under cabinet lighting in the Kitchen. I noticed there is a node server for Magic Home and Yee Light. Was wondering if anyone has experience with these as to brightness and white light. Looking for the absolute brightest. I assume neither of these need the cloud to function after configuration. Any suggestions or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Gary

Jim One thing I learned is if you connect the WLL on Ethernet and use you phone app on WI-FI you may not get the live stream unless multicast is enabled on your switch if that is your setup.

bpwwer Hi, Just saw the Rain Rate parameter available this morning. Gave it a try and all looks good. Everything looks perfect. Great addition for my ISY to be able to see live weather data directly from the Davis Weather station locally with no cloud involvement. The ISY will now be able to close my patio awning in case of any high wind guest. I have it set to poll every 30 seconds and all works perfectly. Thank a lot for all your effort and expertise. Gary

I checked rain rate on the live app and it did show 0.01.

Hi Everything look Great. I tripped the bucket once and Daily Rain registered correctly. No sure however if any value should have been registered for Rain Rate. I included the values received after bucket trip. All looks great. Thanks Gary Values received. 2019-08-01 18:52:52,061 [Controller] [DEBUG] {'error': None, 'data': {'conditions': [{'trans_battery_flag': 0, 'rain_rate_last': 1, 'rain_storm_start_at': 1564620601, 'rain_rate_hi': 1, 'rainfall_daily': 1, 'wind_speed_hi_last_2_min': 1.0, 'wind_dir_scalar_avg_last_1_min': 75, 'temp': 83.0, 'wind_dir_at_hi_speed_last_10_min': 77, 'rain_storm': 20, 'wind_dir_last': 0, 'thw_index': 88.8, 'wind_dir_scalar_avg_last_2_min': 75, 'wind_dir_scalar_avg_last_10_min': 76, 'lsid': 246652, 'wind_chill': 83.0, 'txid': 1, 'wind_speed_avg_last_10_min': 0.56, 'wind_speed_avg_last_2_min': 0.31, 'rainfall_last_24_hr': 20, 'hum': 69.4, 'wind_speed_last': 0.0, 'uv_index': None, 'rainfall_last_15_min': 1, 'data_structure_type': 1, 'rainfall_last_60_min': 1, 'rainfall_year': 20, 'wind_dir_at_hi_speed_last_2_min': 75, 'rain_storm_last': None, 'rx_state': 0, 'heat_index': 88.8, 'rainfall_monthly': 1, 'dew_point': 71.9, 'thsw_index': None, 'rain_storm_last_start_at': None, 'rain_rate_hi_last_15_min': 1, 'wind_speed_hi_last_10_min': 2.0, 'wind_speed_avg_last_1_min': 0.31, 'rain_storm_last_end_at': None, 'rain_size': 1, 'solar_rad': None, 'wet_bulb': 74.3}, {'hum_in': 53.7, 'data_structure_type': 4, 'lsid': 246588, 'heat_index_in': 73.6, 'temp_in': 73.7, 'dew_point_in': 55.9}, {'bar_sea_level': 30.076, 'data_structure_type': 3, 'bar_absolute': 29.417, 'lsid': 246587, 'bar_trend': -0.027}], 'did': '001D0A710A19', 'ts': 1564699971}}

Thanks. I did the git for the update. Can't see the rain change yet. Maybe I'll need to go tip the bucket. Hopefully get a little rain later. A separate node sounds good. It would be much easier to pick out the indoor measurements. Thanks Gary

bpwwer hi Just got a little rain and noticed one thing . The daily rain is expressed in a whole number rather than in one hundredths of an inch. Screen shows 15 instead of 0.15 inches. One bucket trip would equal 0.01 inches. Not sure what rain rate should look like. It shows 75 inches per hour during the rain. During the same time the phone app was showing a rate of 0.75 inches per hour which was changing often. I am thinking that it should be expressed as one hundredth of an inch also. The 75 would equal 0.75. Everything else looks perfect. Thanks Gary UPDATE: I see now that programs use pulse counts in conditions for these parameters. So this would be fine than.

bpwwer hi I brought the admin console up this morning and everything is filled in. I had restarted the admin console before but this time all is great. Thanks so much for all your effort. Gary

I am thinking counts might be rain rate based on how often the bucket is tipped. But I see rain_rate in the query. Also I don't know what Rain Size means. It doesn't show up anywhere in the app.

Hi, It runs great now . It is missing a few of the parameters. I see them in the log but they don't get transferred to the ISY display. Indoor temp and indoor hum. Not sure about wind gust since there has been no wind here for now. Daily rain may fill in after midnight. Also wind speed is missing. Thanks again. Looks really great.

bpwwer Hi Just a request of displayed parameters before completion. Outdoors Temperature Humidity Wind Speed Wind Direction Wind Gust Hi Temperature Low Temperature Rain Today Pressure Indoors Temperature Humidity Optional But would be nice Climate Conditions Cloud Conditions Would be very thankful if these could be displayed Thanks so much Gary

The log shows that the node server stopped running shortly after rebooting everything. It ran for about 1 and a 1/2 hours and had that reoccurring error shown in the log. Don't know if that would cause it to stop or not. Yes i did the 'git pull origin master' command to work using the pi windows terminal. Puttty just wouldn't do it.. Some of the fields aren't being filled in. Pressure, Rain Today, Wind speed is expressed in inches /hour. Not sure how many parameters can be requested from the weather link. There is also indoor temp and humidity. I'll include a screen shot.

just one more issue. It doesn't seem to be updating and I see this in the log. 2019-07-26 19:19:14,346 [NodeServer] [INFO ] Starting node server 2019-07-26 19:19:14,347 [NodeServer] [INFO ] Sending customParams to Polyglot. 2019-07-26 19:19:14,468 [NodeServer] [INFO ] Sending removenotice to Polyglot for index {'key': '0'} 2019-07-26 19:19:14,472 [NodeServer] [INFO ] Sending addnotice to Polyglot: {'value': 'WeatherLink IP Address parameter must be set', 'key': None} 2019-07-26 19:19:14,475 [NodeServer] [INFO ] Node server started 2019-07-26 19:19:14,476 [NodeServer] [DEBUG] request = http:///v1/current_conditions 2019-07-26 19:19:14,478 [NodeServer] [INFO ] Skipping connection because we aren't configured yet.

Ok I finally got it to work by using the windows terminal on the pi.

I tried everything I know and just will not allow me to get to that directory.

The only thing different is I didn't do an install from the store like I did for the GPIO server
