Meteotemplate API

[K7RMK]

I have been running Meteotemplate for a few days and thought I would write down my findings with the Meteotemplate Weather Network and some issues with how it sends data for some of the extra sensor data via the API.


I discovered Meteobridge is sending leaf wetness to Meteotemplate as soil moisture.
In Meteobridge, I have the following mappings:

• th0!20hum - soil0hum - soil moisture #0
• th0!40hum - leaf0hum - leaf wetness #0
• th0!41hum - leaf1hum - leaf wetness #1

The way they are sent to the Meteotemplate API:

• th0!20hum - soil0hum - soil moisture #0 —> SM1
• th0!40hum - leaf0hum - leaf wetness #0 —> SM2
• th0!41hum - leaf1hum - leaf wetness #1 —> SM3

The way they should be sent to the Meteotemplate API:

• th0!20hum - soil0hum - soil moisture #0 —> SM1
• th0!40hum - leaf0hum - leaf wetness #0 —> LW1
• th0!41hum - leaf1hum - leaf wetness #1 —> LW2

When a sensor goes offline, it can be problematic if there are multiple sensors of the same type.
For example, if I have 4 soil moisture sensors in Meteobridge being sent to Meteotemplate as follows:

• th0!20hum - soil0hum - soil moisture #0 —> SM1
• th0!21hum - soil1hum - soil moisture #1 —> SM2
• th0!22hum - soil2hum - soil moisture #2 —> SM3
• th0!23hum - soil3hum - soil moisture #3 —> SM4

And the second sensor goes offline for a bit, this is how Meteobridge sends the data to Meteotemplate:

• th0!20hum - soil0hum - soil moisture #0 —> SM1
• th0!21hum - soil1hum - soil moisture #1
• th0!22hum - soil2hum - soil moisture #2 —> SM2
• th0!23hum - soil3hum - soil moisture #3 —> SM3

The number mappings should never shift. Even if the weather station was only setup with soil moisture #2 (3 in real life due to Meteobridge starting at 0), it should always map to SM3.


The Meteotemplate API parameters for air quality are PP1,PP2,PP3,… Meteobridge maps to PP0.


I personally have the following sensors and would love to see Meteobridge send this data to Meteotemplate:

• t0!0temp - soil0temp - soil temperature #0 —> TS1
• lgt0!0total - lgt0total - number of lightning strikes —> L

I ended up making my own link and running it as an HTTP event instead of using the built-in Meteotemplate weather network. This is what I came up with:

It's pasted into Meteobridge as one long link but I have it broken down into individual lines to make it more readable. It fixes all of the issues I had found with the built-in weather network for Meteotemplate.

strange, I don't see that issue.

Leaf wetness is captured through the meteotemplate as LW1, LW2,...

for the PP I have a modified api.php that renaims PP0 to PP1, problem fixed.

which version of meteotemplate are you using, I use now v 19.0.

Cheers
