New Meteobridge weather nodeserver

glarsen · January 24, 2020

A nodeserver has been posted to the store that supports the Meteobridge extended template set. It is primarily oriented around the Davis VP2 series weather stations, but should work with any. However, to my knowledge, only Davis supports the et0 variable.

If there are any other MB variables anyone is interested in, they can easily be added.

A nod to @bpwwer for developing the original Meteobridge-poly nodeserver which this one was adapted from.

NOTE: Tested and working on Polisy and RPi

@glarsen.

I upgraded to MeteoAuth 1.0.9 (on Polisy), and now I get the following error. I uninstalled it and reinstalled, but no avail. Any ideas?

1.1.0 should fix this. I made a variable type error.

Thanks, 1.1.0 works.

Side note: any chance of including the timestamp info as a data field? It is part of the query, and would allow stale data to be easily identified.

Thanks for a well done nodeserver.

Just pushed 1.2.0 with a new driver in the primary node that displays the time of the last read from the Meteobridge in the form HHmmss localtime.

Hello everyone,

Got the hair to try out the all the weather node servers. Fastastic job everyone! With my vantage pro2, I am ready to join the testing effort.

Currently working with MeteobridgeAuth, I am not getting any data from the illumination branch. Looking back at my pi, don't see any populated data in ns, but I do see solar radiation value coming from meteobridge. Log file snippet:

In this example, 281.0 should be the Solar Radiation value (W/m2). I do not have uv radiation sensor. Also, wanting to get et0 directly from vantage pro2. Let me know what else I need to do to help. Again, Thanks for all the node servers!!!!!!!!

So are you saying you have the Solar Radiation sensor, but not the UV sensor?

glarsen · March 8, 2020

I pushed v 1.2.1 to the store. It tests for presence of UV and Solar data separately. It should now display SolarRad and et0, and show UV as 0.

My VP2+ has both sensors so I'm not able to test this configuration. Please let me know how it works.

Yes. The UV sensor should be treated separately and should not invalidate solar or eto. Thanks

Didn't know anyone had one without the other, so there you go. Anyway, the new version should address it.

Updated and immediately showed eto. Will check solar tomorrow. Thanks.

Is the Meteobridge nodeserver available on the Polyglot NodeServer Store? I don't see it there.

glarsen · March 22, 2020

Yes it is, it's called MeteobridgeAuth, to distinguish it from MeteobridgePoly. Auth requires login credentials for your Meteobridge.

@glarsen Any progress on adding the irrigation requirement calculation? Great job on this node server- an all local solution as long as forecast data isn't required.

Thanks. Sorry, no, I haven't had time lately, but it's still on my ToDo list.

scotnor · March 22, 2020

Hello Everyone,

Been looking at this for a week and should be ready to poke holes. I have six programs, 8 integer/float variables and one state variab

					Variables: $Eto $Rain_Threshold $Water_Applied $Yesterdays_Water_Deficit $Rain_Yesterday $Irrigation_Requirement $Absorption_Factor_Percent $Crop_Coefficient_Percent State Variable: $sRain_Today

First need to initialize some variables:

NS Irrigation Reset - [ID 007F][Parent 007D][Run At Startup]

If
   - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition')

Then
        $Rain_Threshold = 37
        $Rain_Threshold /= 100
        $Rain_Threshold Init To $Rain_Threshold
        $Water_Applied = 25
        $Water_Applied /= 100
        $Water_Applied Init To $Water_Applied

Else
   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Next we need to capture eto:

NS Eto Wrapup - [ID 009E][Parent 007D]

If
        Time is 11:59:58PM

Then
        $ETo = 'MeteoBridge Weather / Illumination' Evapotranspiration Inches
        $ETo Init To $ETo

Else
   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Catch 11-Midnight just in case:

NS Eto Wrapup Last Chance - [ID 009F][Parent 007D]

If
        Time is 12:02:00AM
    And 'MeteoBridge Weather / Illumination' Evapotranspiration > '$ETo Inches'

Then
        $ETo = 'MeteoBridge Weather / Illumination' Evapotranspiration Inches
        $ETo Init To $ETo

Else
   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Finalize Irrigation Requirement:

NS Rain Wrapup - [ID 007E][Parent 007D]

If
        Time is 12:03:00AM

Then
        $Rain_Yesterday = 'MeteoBridge Weather / Precipitation' Rainfall Yesterday Inches
        $Rain_Yesterday *= $Absorption_Factor_Percent
        $Yesterdays_Water_Deficit = $ETo
        $Yesterdays_Water_Deficit *= $Crop_Coefficient_Factor_Percent
        $Yesterdays_Water_Deficit -= $Rain_Yesterday
        $Yesterdays_Water_Deficit /= 100
        $Irrigation_Requirement += $Yesterdays_Water_Deficit
        $Irrigation_Requirement Init To $Irrigation_Requirement
        $Rain_Yesterday = 'MeteoBridge Weather / Precipitation' Rainfall Yesterday Inches

Else
   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Trigger Watering if needed:

NS Water If Needed - [ID 009C][Parent 007D]

If
        Time is 6:00:00AM
    And $Irrigation_Requirement > $Rain_Threshold
    And $sRain_Today < $Rain_Threshold

Then
        Run Program 'Irrigation Started' (Then Path)

Else
   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Modification to Stations All Off:

Stations All Off - [ID 0055][Parent 0056][Not Enabled]

If
        'MeteoBridge Weather / Precipitation' Daily Rainfall > '$Rain_Threshold Inches'

Then
        $Manual_Currently_Running = 0
        Stop program 'Station1 Timer'
        Stop program 'Station2 Timer'
        Stop program 'Station3 Timer'
        Stop program 'Station4 Timer'
        Stop program 'Station5 Timer'
        Stop program 'Station6 Timer'
        Stop program 'Station7 Timer'
        Stop program 'Station8 Timer'
        Set 'Back Yard / Rear Water' Off
        Set 'Back Yard / Tall Water' Off
        Set 'Back Yard / East Water' Off
        Set 'Front Yard / North Water' Off
        Set 'Front Yard / South Water' Off
        $Irrigation_Station = 0
        Run Program 'Irrigation Finished' (Then Path)
        Disable Program 'Stations All Off'

Else
   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

What this does is use all local data from Davis VP2. No forecast data is used. If it starts raining, it can abort. Irrigation requirement is initialized externally and is not range restricted yet.

This is my simple first attempt. Comments???

Using MeteoBridgeAuth and it is almost perfect for my needs. I'm wondering if it would be possible to also provide cardinal wind direction as a string (i.e. N, NNW, NW, etc. I have a couple of notifications that include wind information, but with the exit of the climate module I've had to update my programs and notifications.

I did test notifications using another node server with string values and I can definitely incorporate the string value via the sys.node.<address>.<value> format replacements. I then began to study how to copy and modify the nodeserver myself... I figure one day I'll be at that level (but it will take awhile to get there).

Thanks for considering this.

glarsen · March 26, 2020

@MrBill I don't see why not. You'll have to give me a few days though as I am otherwise engaged at the moment.

Thanks! (definitely no worries on the time frame, including that information in the notifications is more important to me when I'm away than when I can look out the window... and with the current state of affairs away isn't soon!)

Actually turned out that most of the code I needed was already there, so it only took a minute to add. Version 1.2.2 has been pushed and should be available when the store does the next update.

THANKS!!! The store already updated and I've already installed it. This is fantastic, the last item from climate module retirement changes will be off my list shortly as soon as I update the notification replacements.

MrBill · March 26, 2020

@glarsen Sorry to be a pest but I think somethings wrong.... wind.png.b7c6f9898337dddf9430641bf22cf335.png

virtually no wind right now. In fact since the screenshot was made its now showing 0 MPH, but gust speed is 276, and direction is wrong. The Davis console is showing SSW as the last wind direction. I don't think Wind has not been out of the N all day.

glarsen · March 26, 2020

@MrBill I think because of the profile change you need to delete/add the nodeserver, not just restart it. Just add it back in the same slot it was in any programs you have dependent on it will be fine. Be sure to restart your AC as well after you reinstall the NS

Edited March 26, 2020 by glarsen

MrBill · March 26, 2020

@glarsen, Deleted and re-installed twice both with the admin console closed. (the second time I completely deleted and re-installed the file from the store, the first time i skipped re-downloading.)

Other values are reporting zero in the admin console.

Barometric Pressure: 0,0,falling

Humidity 0%

Illumination: 0, 0,0

precipitation: Monthly and yearly may be accurate althought its hard to tell about the other zero's (no rain yesterday or today)

Temperature node appears to be correct. 73, 59.2, 73, 73.4, 54,7

Wind 0,0,0, N

Actual from the meteobridge interface:
