Voluntario Posted December 24, 2022 Posted December 24, 2022 Hello, Can someone explain or refer to a guide how to create a Node server connection for a online weather service on ISY 5.4.3? Thank you
Geddy Posted December 24, 2022 Posted December 24, 2022 @Voluntario What are you running the Node Server on? You mention ISY 5.4.3. That would be ISY on Polisy (IoP). Do you perhaps mean a standalone ISY994 running firmware 5.3.4? What weather node server are you wanting to install? They all setup a little different. Are you trying to run PG2 on a rpi (raspberry pi) or are you running PG3 on Polisy? There's no longer Polyglot Cloud (it shutdown last February). And now PG2 (Polyglot 2) that is able to run on non-Universal-Devices hardware is no longer supported by UDI, but would still be available if you had the ability/skills to run/setup. You can find more about that process in the Polyglot area. If you indeed have a Polisy you can run Polyglot v3 (PG3) and install any of the available weather node servers to fit your need. All will/should have a "more info" link to documentation that facilitates the setup process. If you do mean that you have a standalone ISY994 (running Firmware 5.3.4) note that PG3 can push node server information to the ISY994. You would need to have either the Polisy (no longer available for order) or eisy (just released and currently shipping) and run PG3/PG3x and setup the node server to push weather information to the ISY994. Final note: The current version for ISY on Polisy or ISY on eisy (both now referred to as IoX) is 5.5.
Voluntario Posted December 24, 2022 Author Posted December 24, 2022 (edited) Yes, sorry ISY 994 standalone 5.3.4 . I am trying to connect to climacell.co or OpenWeatherMaps.org or AmbientWeather I was hoping there is a way to connect my ISY 994 to a weather service without having to update to eisy Edited December 24, 2022 by Voluntario

To that, Polisy units are difficult to find (though, there might be some referbs coming from UDI site with trade-ins for eisy). Or you can check eBay. Or even post in Coffee Shop area of the forums if you're interested in buying one that somebody might offer up here. Otherwise, you would need to get the eisy that is currently being released. Both the Polisy and eisy are "current hardware" options from UDI. The Polisy is said to be supported for several more years. The un-supported way would be to run a raspberry pi to install Polyglot v2 and attempt to run node servers that way. That's no longer supported by UDI or many developers. You can find information for this in the link in my previous post.
