Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

pimatic-openweather

Pimatic Plugin that retrieves the current weather and forecast data on several devices. Important notes:

  • To use this plugin you need to sign up to obtain an API key at openweather.org. The subscription is free of charge.
  • The service API has been changed recently. As part of the location you'll need to provide the 2-letter ISO 3166 country code rather than providing the country name.

Notable Changes with v9.0

  • As some users had problems with sporadic "location not found" errors, the cityId property has been added which allows for setting the location id to work-around the problem
  • The blacklist property has been added to OpenWeatherDevice which allows for defining a list of weather results to ignore as they contain false data
  • The day property default value of the OpenWeatherForecastDevice has been changed to 2 to obtain the forecast for the next day by default. The property denotes the forecast day starting from 1 to 16 where 1 means today.

Configuration

Plugin Configuration

Add the plugin to the plugin section:

{
  "plugin": "openweather",
  "apiKey": "xxxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "debug": false
}

Device Configuration

Then add the device with the location into the devices section:

{
  "id": "weather",
  "class": "OpenWeatherDevice",
  "name": "Weather Geneva",
  "location": "Geneva, CH",
  "units": "metric",
  "lang": "en",
  "timeout": 900000
}

If you need a forecast you can use the following device:

{
  "id": "forecast",
  "class": "OpenWeatherForecastDevice",
  "name": "Forecast 1 day for Geneva",
  "location": "Geneva, CH",
  "units": "metric",
  "lang": "en",
  "timeout": 900000,
  "day": 2
}

Then you can add the items into the mobile frontend.

Hiding Attributes

Attributes can be hidden from the display in the mobile frontend by using the xattributeOptions property as shown in the example below.

{
  "id": "weather",
  "class": "OpenWeatherDevice",
  "name": "Today",
  "location": "Geneva, CH",
  "units": "metric",
  "timeout": 900000,
  "lang": "en",
  "xAttributeOptions": [
	{
	  "name": "humidity",
	  "hidden": true
	},
	{
	  "name": "pressure",
	  "hidden": true
	}
  ]
}

Using the Blacklist Feature

Unfortunately, some weather stations emit false weather data. As a result for some locations false data is returned at times. The idea of blacklisting is to filter out such outlier results. A blacklist entry may consist of up to three of the following properties.

  • base: a string indicating an internal identification for the type of weather station network. For example, "cmc stations" refers to the weather stations of the Canadian Meteorological Centre while "stations" appears to be weather stations operated on a private basis. This property is mandatory
  • "id": The weather condition id set in the blacklisted result. This property is optional. If provided, the value match will be ANDed with the remainder of the filter
  • "temperature": The temperature set in the blacklisted result. This property is optional. If provided, the value match will be ANDed with the remainder of the filter
