Can the lunar phase feature of the WMR100 be used?

This is intended for WMR100, WMR200, WMRS200 and RMS300 specific topics

Can the lunar phase feature of the WMR100 be used?

Post by wfpost »

The forecast feature of the WMR100 work very well with the forecast0 feature of the upload function of meteohub.

Is there a chance meteohub reads the internal lunar function of the WMR100 allowing me to put moon phases identical to forecast icons on my website?

If not, could I use the built-in lunar phase calculation of meteohub, which delivers numbers from 0-5, I guess?
Though, I have a simple website without PHP or any other script language, the part translating those numbers into the correct icon like with the forecast0 process, needed to be done by meteohub in my case.

Danke,
Wolfgang

BTW: The whole meteohub solution is absolutely a great piece of gadget. :cheer:

I would prefer to use the calculation that Meteohub does, as this is identical for all stations.

There are 8 defined phases (0-7) in Meteohub:
"lunar" reports the fullness of the moon in percent (0% = new moon, 100% = full moon) and also reports the moon phase (0 = new moon, 1-3 = growing moon: quarter, half, three quarters, 4 = full moon, 5-7 = shrinking moon: three quarter, half, quarter).

I will look for icons to support this as done with the weather forecast icons. if someone out there has great icons (that are free of copyright) available, please let me know.
