Hi All,
Just an updateI you may use.
Goal:
- I wanted to automate my terrace awnings to open only when is appropriate.
Challenge:
- I could not mediate the cloud coverage (couverture nuageuse) in the complex rule to open and close based also on temperature, wind, rain, home security, day light...
Attempt and I hope final resolution:
- I started with an HTTP sensor (capteur) from openweathermap.org, I finalised with accuweather.com. Free service, 30 min, accurate cloud coverage. Reports in JSON, hence enable JSON to XML, XPATH to use in eedomus is: /root/entry/CloudCover. You need to get an API KEY as usual, if interested register for free on: developer.accuweather.com. The API to use is the Current Conditions from https://developer.accuweather.com/apis
Thanks, Horia
