Can't figure out issue with raise alarm condition

[paravis]

Here's my raise alarm condition:

(([wind0wind-avg10=mph]>=8||[wind0wind-max10=mph]>=15)&&(([wind0dir-act]>=0&&[wind0dir-act]<=60)||([wind0dir-act]>=300&&[wind0dir-act]<=360)))

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here? I'm getting errors under the "Triggered Alarms" for this one.

Thanks!

Actually ... Very odd ...

So the alarm condition was triggered, sent a text message. (Yes, I don't want strong winds blowing from the north -- our newly planted trees were pushed and were not straight up last time it was this windy.)

But now it is working for some reason ... Anyway, I guess it is ok now ...

you might add default values, when a sensor data is not there.
Otherwise evaluation will fail, when no sensor data.

You are a genius ... !!

And by the way, we do have a few little devices similar to yours. Mainly for monitoring the solar power generators, as well as energy utilization (both of those using ZigBee SE). Your device is ABOVE AND BEYOND the most appropriate, capable, and legitimate gateway that we have.

Such an excellent little (and powerful) device. Thanks again.

Hi paravis,

I'm a novice to Meteobridge Pro, would you mind posting your finished rule so I can work up my own from it please.

Cheers

Hey there Ian --

Here's what I finished with. It's formatted a little better so you can actually see the separate parts in the logic. This particular raise/clear alarm is specifically to tell me when wind is blowing too hard from the north, where it might start to cause issues with my trees.

Also, to keep the system happy, I simply made the default values (when, for whatever reason, the sensor was not being read properly) to make the clear alarm statement true.

Raise Alarm:

(
([wind0wind-avg10=mph:0]>=8||[wind0wind-max10=mph:0]>=15)
&&
(
([wind0dir-act:180]>=0&&[wind0dir-act:180]<=60)
||
([wind0dir-act:180]>=300&&[wind0dir-act:180]<=360)
)
)

Clear Alarm:

(
([wind0wind-avg10=mph:0]<=1&&[wind0wind-max10=mph:0]<=6)
||
([wind0dir-act:180]>90&&[wind0dir-act:180]<270&&[wind0wind-max10=mph:0]<=6)
)

Hope that helps!

Paravis,

Many thanks for posting this, it is really helpful.

The software the Meteobridge Pro is replacing had predefined alerts that I want to replicate, so looking at how you have done this is very useful.

All the best to you and yours

Ian
