Weather data

[SirParadox]

I have a single program that looks for current temp, and percip in the last 48 hours that use to use the weather plugin, this fires my roof gutter ice melt.

 

What do folks recommend for a replacement?

as @Techman points out there are numerous weather nodeservers, but unfortunately Polyglot cloud is offline for an extended outage.   What used to be the case, is that all you needed was a portal login to use once the number cloud weather nodeservers.  What this means now is the you need a Polisy to run nodeservers.   As you've discovered the old time weather module went away a long time ago.  Perhaps you've been using a cloud nodeserver since?  Unfortunately if you have a ISY994, its time for a hardware upgrade.  There is a 20% discount right now too.  See this post.  FYI, you don't need the "pro" version of Polisy.

I know the weather module went away awhile ago.  And no I havnt been using anything since.  Basically, it hasn’t snowed then iced in a few years so it didn’t matter.  This year it did and I’d really like to reautomate my ice melter.

 

you mentioned how upgrade from the isy994.  What upgrades are there?  I’ll search again but I havnt seen anything new in years except the zwave board that I just upgraded.

Polisy...  it's the new ISY, which can also run nodesevers.  You don't need to Pro version, std will do just fine.  Nothing is currently using the features (radio's) the Pro has. 

https://www.universal-devices.com/store/ scroll down to about the 5th and 6th items.

Here's a list of Polyglot2 nodeservers: https://polyglot.universal-devices.com/

polyglot 2 is being replaced with polyglot 3, they don't have a neat way to link the store tho, so far the best list is the forum boards but it changes so fast that list is probably out of date.  (once you have a Polisy you get the complete store list from the interface).
