You must have a HomeVision or HomeVision Pro Controller running HomeVisionXL software for this to work.
Please report issues or open discussions via the homevision users group. If you don't have access to that group, use the Issues or Discussions sections here.
NOTE: In Verson 5.3 and later, OpenWeather.org has been substituted for Weatherbug. Any references to Weatherbug remaining in this help should be ignored.The Weather plug-in retrieves weather data from either the U.S. National Weather Service (XML or METAR formats) or OpenWeather.org (JSON format). Current and forecast weather information can be retrieved and displayed. Depending on the source selected, the plug-in can retrieve weather information from any one of thousands of weather stations worldwide. Retrieved weather data can be used in any of the following ways:
- The Weather plug-in can send weather data to the Control plug-in to display weather information on custom control screens.
- The Weather plug-in can send a subset of the weather data to certain weather variables in the HomeVision controller.
- The Weather plug-in can speak selected weather data using the wintts plug-in.
- The Web Server plug-in can use weather data in custom HomeVisionXL Web pages.
- Other custom plug-ins can access weather data.
Weather data can be retrieved from a local file instead of the web, as long as that file uses a similar format as the on-line data.
Control plug-in version 4.4 or later and HomeVision 2.1 or later are required. Web plug-in version 4.0 or later is required for web access of weather data. NetIO Server plug-in verion 3.2 is required for NetIO access to weather data.
The HomeVisionXL MQTT Plug-in package consists of the following files:
- weather.hap - the plug-in itself,
- weather.hlp - the help file,
- ftp/*.tcl - ftp library for METAR,
- html/wxwebsocket.js - javascript for websockets.
- weather/images/Right-to-Use_Disclaimer.txt - right to use disclaimer
