The thing really only does one thing : Set an IsSafe property to TRUE or FALSE. the boltwood driver here which includes all the code. I actually played with…gah, I wanna say it’s work?. I’d be chuffed to add a cloud sensor to it…that’s the one really nice thing to have that hitting a “weather report” doesn’t really cover. Or, just issue a pull request in the dev branch of the code, and we’ll figure it out. If you get something working w/ the Phidget, let me know. I’ve pondered the idea of maybe covering it with a little bit of plastic or something on a servo, and swinging the cover out of the way with a servo…but that project has yet to progress beyond the “Hrm, i wonder if…” stage.Īny chance you would be motivated to update your code with the phidget support The question I’ve NEVER seen appropriate answered though is this : What happens when that temp sensor gets covered with dew? Yep, that’s a pretty common method for cloud detection.

Quick and excellent cloud sensor for astro imaging. I love that description, and am using it from now on! Here’s the docs they have.I don’t claim to be a “programmer” (at least not since the 80’s) but I can usually sling syntax (in whatever language) at something to bend it to my will The key that I’ve entered into configuration.yaml is the same one that WU is giving me.Ĭan anyone tell me if maybe this is a separate API than what the component used before they stopped giving out free keys? Maybe they pushed the PWS users to a different API. 01:54:59 ERROR (MainThread) Check WUnderground API ('this key does not exist',) 01:53:58 WARNING (MainThread) Platform wunderground not ready yet. 01:53:58 ERROR (MainThread) Check WUnderground API ('this key does not exist',) 01:53:27 WARNING (MainThread) Platform wunderground not ready yet. 01:53:27 ERROR (MainThread) Check WUnderground API ('this key does not exist',) I received my API key, but WU doesn’t seem to like it when it comes from HA. It’s widely known that WU has stopped giving out free API keys to the general public, but they are still giving out API keys to those who send them PWS data.
