Blockly "Did it Rain today"

[djandib]

Hi there,
my new projekt is a Zwave Watering system for my garden.
Actually I still wait for the hardware: Electric Valve (no power-> close), Universal power supply and Fibaro FIB_FGWPF-102 for controling. (I`ll make a seperate note, if it works 🙂

Now I want to make a blocky to do no watering in the evening, if it already rained this day.
Therefore first I thought to take the humidity and to say:
IF humidity from yahoo weather is > 99, save the date to a persistent variable.
But that`s not the truth…

So I want to make it with the weather codes.
Question:
How can I get the code from the yahoo weather api to use it in Blockly?
I mean the code e.g. “12” and not the long text…

Simply “COMPARATOR Munich weather.type = “12” ???

Hi,

I’ve just added this parameter to Yahoo Weather.
Just cleaning up the code a bit now.

I’ve never launched an update of a package myself before, so I will test it first with the beta testers.
Are you already a beta tester?

Here all the parameters we could get from yahoo:

Hi Laura,
no, I`m not already a betatester.
As you see in your example I need the “condition”: “code”: “23” to interpret it.

I woud programm a variable like:
IF code=11 OR code=12 OR code=39
THEN Variable “RainToday”=Current Date

[Miss Laura]

I think my code is now done. 🙂
I will update the package for the beta testers and if they don’t find any issue, I will release it in the next few days.

Note: I immediately added forecasts for the coming 9 days! 🙂
It’s a HUGE upgrade of the yahoo weather package.

Have fun,
Laura

[djandib]

Ok, so I wait excited for the next update….
🙂 🙂 🙂

[Miss Laura]

I just pushed the update to Cedarview devices (mine) on the beta add-on store.
If I get the update in a few hours, I know it works and then I can start sharing it quickly with others. 🙂

Have fun,
Laura

[Miss Laura]

Small update:
every time I install the update in beta, yahoo weather gets uninstalled.

So Mika does something I do not know how to do :-p
I’m checking with him and will keep you posted.

Fyi: just added following product to the store 🙂

GreenIQ irrigation: 6 zones

Have fun,
Laura

Hi Laura,
anything new about your Yahoo weather package update?
Andi

[Miss Laura]

Hi Andi,

It’s ready, but apparently I need to build a separate package for every cpu and device type.
So about 36 different packages.

I am now working on automating this, so that it takes less time.

You can contact us inside the live chat and then I will give you already the files for the latest package and instructions. 🙂

Have fun,
Laura

My Problem:
I want that my garden-sprinkler controls “itself” if it has to sprinkle or not

My solution:

Finally if the device “Sonne” = true, there will be water in the evening 😉

Thanx to Koen and Laura for help

Andi
