The module queries weather data via the Wunderground API. You need to register at [Wunderground](https://www.wunderground.com/) to get an API key. Current data, severe weather warnings, as well as hourly and daily forecasts can be queried. ### functional scope - Enable/disable query of desired weather data. - Adjustability of the amount of severe weather, hourly and daily data. - Timer for automatic updating of data. ### Software Installation - Via the [Module Store](https://www.symcon.de/en/service/documentation/components/management-console/module-store/) install the WundergroundWeather module. ### Set up the instances in IP-Symcon - Under "Add instance" the 'WundergroundWeather' module can be found using the quick filter. - More information about adding instances in the [Instances documentation](https://www.symcon.de/en/service/documentation/basics/instances/). #### Configuration Page: | name | description | | ------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Location | Location from which the data should be taken. Whether a location is available can be tried on the [wunderground.com](https://www.wunderground.com/) page. If a location is not available, a nearest larger location should be chosen. | | Country | The country must be entered here. | | PWS ID | ID of the 'Personal Weatherstation' Here you can query a specific weather station | | API Key | Wunderground API Key. Can be requested on the Wunderground homepage after registration. "More"->"Weather API for Developers". | | Query Current Data | Enables the query of current weather data. | | Hourly Forecast | Enables the query of the hourly forecast. | | 12-hourly forecast | Activates the query of the 12-hourly forecast. | | Daily forecast | Activates the query of the daily forecast. | | Poll severe weather warning | Activates polling of the severe weather forecast. | | number of forecasts (12-hourly) | The number of 12-hourly forecasts. Maximum value: 8 | | Number of forecasts (daily) | The number of daily forecasts. Maximum value: 4 | | number of predictions (hourly) | The number of hourly predictions. Maximum value: 24 | | Number of severe weather warnings | The number of severe weather forecasts. Maximum value: 6 | | Update Weather Data | Sets the timer in minutes how often the weather data should be updated. (current/hourly/12-hourly) | | Update severe weather warnings | Sets the timer in minutes how often the severe weather warnings should be updated. | | Update Weather button | Updates the weather data (current/hourly/12-hourly/daily). If all three queries are deactivated or the timer is set to 0 => Timer deactivated | | Button Update severe weather warnings | Updates the severe weather warnings. Provided the severe weather warning query is deactivated or the timer is set to 0 => Timer deactivated | ### status variables and profiles The status variables/categories are created automatically. Deleting individual ones can lead to malfunctions. #### Current weather data | Name | Type | Description | | --------------------- | ------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Air pressure | Float | Specification in hPa | | Humidity | Float | Indication in % | | Precipitation/h | Float | Indication in liters/m² | | Precipitation day | Float | in liters/m² | | Visibility | Float | Indication in km | | Solar Radiation | Float | Specified in W/m² | | Temperature | Float | in °C | | Temperature felt | Float | Indication in °C | | Temperature dew point | Float | value in °C | | UV radiation | Integer | Information: [UVIndex Explanation](https://www.wunderground.com/article/science/weather-explainers/news/uv-index-sunburn-skin-dangers) | | Wind Gust | Float | Specification in km/h | | Wind Speed | Float | Specification in km/h | | wind direction | float | indication in cardinal points | #### Hourly forecast The variables are marked with 1..24h.
