a feature req.
I noticed a homeseer plugin with the ability to read measurements from favourite stations.
would be nice to show/make a device of favourite stations in the indigo plugin.
I would like to use my neighbour wind gauge for info, allot cheaper than buying my own
The Netatmo API has an option called
Getpublicdata. This retrieves publicly shared weather data from Outdoor Modules within a predefined area. That area must be defined by the latitude and longitude of a rectangular area. All data from all stations within the enclosed area are returned. It is not possible to designate a specific station, though it is allowed to filter the type of data returned, wind, rain, temp, etc. It would be possible for the plugin to filter out only the desired reporting station, but, the whole project is not simple. OTOH, the homelier plugin may just be scraping the data from the Netatmo weather map. Still a fair amount of work.
Have you looked into using the
WUnderground plugin? If the station you want to read is shared through the Weather Underground, you should be able to access it in the plugin.
