Ecobee Duplicated Weather?

[macjeff]

Been out of town for the holidays and just got back and went from 0.8.5 to 0.8.11 and updated my nodesetup file.

 

Immediately after doing this my Ecobee4 started showing weather 2, weather 3, weather 4, and weather 5.

 

I also have an ecobee3 but have weather turned off for that.

 

I turned weather off also for the Ecobee4 and then deleted the weather 1-5 from the ISY.

 

I then turned it back and clicked the install nodes button and 1-5 came back.

 

Its not that important that I get the weather data but any idea why there are 5 each with slightly different temperatures and stuff?

 

Let me know if you need logs and what part of the logs you need.

 

*** As I said I have been out of town and might have missed this as a known bug or feature.   Sorry if thats the case.

4-day forecast

Ok.  So they come in as Weather 1, Weather 2, Weather 3, Weather 4, Weather 5

 

Can I assume Weather 1 is today (wednesday)

 

2 is tomorrow (Thursday)

 

3 is Friday

 

and so on?

Naming these "Weather Today",  "Weather Today+1",  "Weather Today+2", may help the confusion. I was confused by this also, until I saw somebody else getting claridication of the same thing.

Yep in my next version they get renamed to "Current Weather", and "Forecast 1-4".

 

If the ISY ever supports strings I'll dump a date into the node as well.

Very nice!

 

BTW: Do you know what the temperature parameter is for each day's forecast?

There is a high and a low temperature parameter also,  but "temperature" in a forecast, has got me baffled? Average daily temp perhaps?

[io_guy]

Good question.

It is either the day average, or estimated at the specific time of day.  The timestamps for the forecasts are based +24h from the last current weather info.  So it could be either.
