I'm evaluating a variety of different automation platforms for a client's application that requires looking out 72 hours for rain events. Based on the likelyhood of that rain event, I may trigger off some activities. I was attracted to Indigo based purely on the potential to look at weather forecasts and its ability to integrate with not only Insteon, but also 3rd party hardware. I'm a complete newbie to Indigo with less than a day's work under my belt, but am liking what I see so far.

From your previous posts, I can see that you're investigating how to populate forecast data into variables. For now, I have your plugin working successfully for the Weather Underground w/ Forecast service (at least according to the variables list and event log), but am not clear on how to access the forecast data if it's not populated into variables. Can you (or anyone else) point me in the right direction on how to leverage that data?

From what I've tried so far, I believe your plugin is the only one that actually looks at forecasts. If anyone knows otherwise, I'm all ears. I'm open to writing code to get the forecast data if it comes down to that.

Blain,

Thank you for the comments.

The issue here is that I will need to partially rewrite the Weather Conditions plugin to allow the states to be visible. Currently it is written as a deviceless plugin, so there is no devices with a state to update...

I am planning on updating the Weather Condition plugin... But I do not yet have a time frame for this... Since I am working on the New Switchboard plugin, and the updated Thermostat plugin...

Thanks for this plugin.

Is there a way to specify an individual Wunderground weather station code instead of using my zip code? The zipcode lookup chooses one that is further away from me than one I'd like to use.

Sure, anything is possible...

As I guess, put in the PWS weather station code, instead of the zip code... I think that might work...

If not, I'll have to take a look to see how I would need to modify the code.

Have you found a list of the individual weather station codes? (I didn't find a obvious list....)

Does anyone know the exhaustive list of possible variable values the Weather Underground can return for "currentConditions"?

Any plans to update this for indigo 6. I can't access the web interface "internal server error"..
This seems to be the only opportunity for us europeans.

I think, this plugin needs an update?

Hello.

I am currently evaluating Indigo and downloaded ver 6 for testing.
I know your Plugin says (for Indigo 5) but I tried in anyway.

I get the following in the log and it does not run correctly. Is there going to be an update so I can test it with the Ver 6 demo?
Thank you creating this. It looks really useful.
