Davis vantage forecast-rule. **solved**

[36260]

Hello,
I'm doing my second transition. NSLU --> Raspberry and now Meteobridge Nano HD. Meteohub exposes fc data (wheather icon), that seems not to be reported anymore in the live data of Meteobridge neither in templates. Instead it seems that forecast-rule replaces it. What are the values that can be taken by this variable and their meaning? Is there a way to get fc?
Thank you

A list of rule# -> fc-text can be found here:
https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic ... 4#msg15424

The Meteobridge can also supply the corresponding text im multiple languages
https://www.meteobridge.com/wiki/index.php/Templates -> Forecast Variables

There are scripts who use the rule# to translate to an icon, I could not find one yet.

There are some scripts which translate the rule-text to an icon, this is an example as used in the console scripts.

Code: Select all

# Determine forecast icon from Davis forecast string $vpforecast_en

function c_get_fcsticon($vpforecast_en) {
	$DC_fcsttmp = "DC_{$vpforecast_en}";  // Station forecast string
	$DC_fcsttmp = strtolower ($DC_fcsttmp);
