[Deprecated] Weather Dot Gov - Gathering data from weather.gov

[Gimbop]

Hi @bptworld, First of all, killer app and you considering yourself a non-coder is fantasy. You killin it. I'm very new to hubitat and because of selfless support like yours is what makes the internet work. Thanks for that.

One question: and pardon for may be sounding naive/repetitive but couldn't find what I needed. How does one make your example of the horizontal weather tile w/ time with today's info? I'm trying everything but all to no avail. Lastly don't see "current" in attribute tile. only asthma/forecast and daily?

Much thanks!

[UPDATE] My lack of adventure in your child app made me lapse the obvious. Please ignore my request. Awesome work! thanks !

[tmichael]

I did at least a little searching and couldn't find anything about this. I have the latest version of the code (and normally keep it up to date with the package manager). I have an odd outcome. When I look at the weather data, TodaysHigh and TodaysLow seem to be reversed. Here is a snapshot from the device view just now:

Based on the way I use the data, I can easily swap the data, but I only want to do it if I it is likely to stay in its current state and won't get broken by a fix. Any thoughts?

[stephen_nutt]

I just looked at mine and you are not alone. I question Wind Speed of 53.95mph today in DFW area also.

[bptworld]

@tmichael

TodaysHigh and TodaysLow seem to be reversed

@stephen_nutt

I question Wind Speed

added to the list

[tmichael]

I agree that your 50+ wind speed and my 30+ both seem inaccurate. I take it from what you wrote that I am in Frisco and you are elsewhere in the DFW area.

Of course, I just assume the collection process generates some junk and that unlike a paid weather service, no one is devoted to ensuring the there is never junk data in every location.

[tmichael]

Awesome app as is and gets better every time you knocks something off your list.

Yup, I live in southern tip of Grand Prairie. I completely think its Weather.gov's issue, not BPT's.

[CO_Brad]

Sorry for the likely inexperienced question but should I be seeing a sample of the various tiles in the child app? I clicked the manually update tiles and nothing happened (same story for all of the other tiles besides current conditions. I also don't see any errors in the log for it. I do see the tile in current conditions although a couple of the parameters are not coming over like wind speed but temp is.

[CO_Brad]

[bptworld]

Would need to see a debug log of you flipping that switch.

[CO_Brad]

Bryan, thanks for the quick reply. here is what I am getting from flipping the get weekly data switch with debug on

Continuing the discussion from [RELEASE] Weather Dot Gov - Gathering data from weather.gov:

@bptworld I take it WDG decided to change something on you yet again????

2020-08-21 17:59:28.445 warnIn getWeatherData - Either WDG website is having issues (probably) or double check your Station ID in the Weather Dot Gov app.

[bptworld]

New version on GitHub...

data driver:
1.1.8 - 08/21/20 - Each section now tries 3 times to get data

@CO_Brad

with debug on

Thanks, try the new version.

Also, please see post #1 on how to post a log.

[CO_Brad]

Thanks @bptworld updated to the latest using Hubitat Package Manager and still not seeing anything after toggling the Manual update Switch. I am assuming it is supposed to have a sample of the tile like I am seeing in create current weather tile? I don't want to waste your time if I just don't know what to expect.

still not seeing anything

On the device created, turn the debugging on and take a screenshot of what happens when flipping the switch. Also show me a screenshot of how you have WDG setup in the 'Location Options' section.

Thanks

[ardichoke]

First off, thanks for this app. Really great to have with Apple killing off DarkSky.

I'm seeing periods of time where it seems to get bad/no data back from the weather.gov website, which results in the InfluxDB logging app logging 0 entries and messing up my timeseries data. I suppose I could filter these out, but considering the temperature around here does actually go to 0 (or below) pretty routinely for about half the year, this seems like a bad idea. How feasible is it to do some checking for null data being returned and just dropping the measurement instead if updating the data in Hubitat with zeroes?

Example from my temperature graphs this morning.

Each of the drops is the temperature from this app, and is only a single measurement before returning to normal.

Wind speed seems to not be working... I've tried KPIB & KHBG and both are the same and show differently on the weather gov site.

• windGust : 21.92
• windSpeed : 49.93
