Need help with getting info from a string with live rain website

[kooy 5]

Hope you guys can help me.

 

I found a website that can give you realtime rain info on a specific lat and long values.

 

It can predict rain in your area upto 2 hours upfront.

 

now my only trouble is how to get the right info from the website.

 

As it stand now im getting info like this

 

000|20:50 000|20:55 000|21:00 000|21:05 000|21:10 000|21:15 000|21:20 000|21:25 000|21:30 000|21:35 000|21:40 000|21:45 000|21:50 000|21:55 000|22:00 000|22:05 000|22:10 000|22:15 000|22:20 000|22:25 000|22:30 000|22:35 000|22:40 000|22:45 000|22:50

 

where 000 is the amount of rain and timestamp (lucky me no rain at least till 22:50)

 

What i would like is to get the info only for the next 15 minutes.

so if my local time 21:15 i would like to get the info for 21:30 which looks like 000|21:30

 

How to get the 000 part out of the string at 21:30?

 

i tried

str = string.match(response, "21:10")

fibaro:debug(str)

but that only get the me right time and i need the 3 chars before that.

[boerremk 83]

One thing: you need a global variable Buienradar to let it work, the lon/lat the scripts graps from the HC2.

[petergebruers 1,265]

@kooy glad I could help!

@boerremk thank you for sharing that VD! I'll test it tonight!

boerremk maybe start a official virtual device topic with the buienradar VD ?

we already did a few weeks of testing. Stil looking good with the latest version...

Hi boerremk,

tried your VD - it would be very helpful, if I would get it to work. However, all values stay at "0", although it's raining here (at the moment, at least). Global var is set and location is properly picked up, but still values stay at "0". Does it only work in the Netherlands? Thanks!

 

Cheers

As far I know it only work in the netherlands.

 

You can check this api of yours (like in the debug)

Please login or register to see this link.

If it's raining and there are values in it, maybe it work..  If the value's are 000 like I see with yours it won't work

 

Buienradar is a dutch site with rainfall detection for the Netherlands

Hi D-Vine,

 

thansk - I already did this ... and only 0 values. Strangely, on their website you can select Netherlands/Belgium or Europe - but obviously this doesn't work via the api.

[D-Vine 65]

Yes the website of buienradar gives more but al alert possibilities are for the Netherlands..   

[awlieser 12]

Ahh, too bad - just what I would have needed to retract my shutters in case of rain

Hi there,

 

I'm using the 'VD buienradar' which was posted by boerremk. This is working great (in the Netherlands)!

But, now I want to use it in a Scene, where 5 minutes before it starts raining my sunscreen closes. Does anyone know, how I can extract these times from 'VD buienradar'?

Hi,

 

You can use the following:

You can tune the time before it will be set to 1 in the mainloop with the variable beforeRain.

Remko,

 

thank you for your suggestion. However, if I adapt the variable 'beforerain' to 5, the variable 'Buienradar' is put on '1' much earlier then 5 minutes. I think the error is in the next line of the script :

   

while counter < math.floor(beforeRain/runTime) and rain do
        log("rain and counter: "..counter)

 

beforeRain = 5

afterRain = 5

runTime = 5

 

 

How can I solve this?

 

Greetz John

[boerremk 83]

Yes a bug!

 

while counter <= math.floor(beforeRain/runTime) and rain do

 

need an = after the < (smaller and equal)

 

Can you test this, to see if it is ok now, I will then upload a new version.

Hello Remko ,

It does not work as I want; the variable 'Buienradar' jumps to early to "1".

Maybe there is a possibility to work with the variable 'Timet', you used in the 'function raincheck()'. I see here that the raintime is requested. Can I work with os.difftime(t2,t1)  (t2 = timeT, t1 = currentTime)? The result put into a variable ' Time2rain'?

If the variable 'Time2rain' is less than 300 seconds then starts a scene?

 

I hope you can help me.
