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.

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.

Hi John,

 

Try the new VD (attached) and the following scene:

Hi Remko,
beautiful script. And it seems to work! At least if I use a dummy time. Tomorrow expect rain and I can properly test the script.
I have another question. I've written a scrip where I put the awning in a different position depending on the wind speed, to avoid damaging. Is it possible to combine these two scripts into one ?

Thank for you're support,

Remco,

Thank you very much. I made a few minor adjustments and the script works great. Just had a downpour of rain and the scene worked perfectly. Thanks again for your help.

The final script is:

Hi Remko ,

 

.today called a rainy day and a time to take a test well VD Buienradar coupled with my scene.

it rains from 15:00 hours without intervals of 5 minutes. This allows the variable ' Buienradar' remains fixed and does not change.

This makes the scene can not be used properly . is there a solution for this?

Hi, if you place this to row 196 of the VD it will updated every time if it keeps raining:

 

fibaro:setGlobal("Buienradar", raintime)

 

the part will like this after the change:

 

  elseif rain and buienradar ~= "0" then
    log("rain and 1")
    fibaro:setGlobal("Buienradar", raintime)
    fibaro:call(selfId, "setProperty", "ui.lblOverview.value", "Expected at "..raintime);

It works. Thank

Hi Remko,

 

in The scene(script) is a little bug; the script-log keeps counting below zero to infinity . And every 5 minutes, it indicates " script already running".

It seems that the script continues counting in a loop and does nothing more with the variable "Buienradar", unless you restart the script..

Kun je helpen dit te verhelpen?

 Can you change:

while math.ceil((bTime - currentTime)/60) ~= (beforeRain) do

to

while math.ceil((bTime - currentTime)/60) > (beforeRain) do

 

The problem is that the value was already below the beforeRain value when it started.

Hallo Remco,

 

the scene works well. However, it causes problems as radar adjusts the time of rain to an earlier time. The script then does not want to overwrite the earlier expected time of rain, making my awning rains still wet.

 

Is there a possibility to use the latest information from Buienradar in this script?

hereby the last version of the script.

Before it does a new cycle it will get the, new, value of the time (bold part is different):

Remko,

@Lambik, Thank ik put de *.png into my VD. Nice work.

Wat should be set in the "Buienradar" variable? Is it just 0 or 1? Or is the time set in this variable?

[boerremk 83]

The time of the expected rain, so 0 means no rain. You can use the variable for other scenes or VDs, for example to close the windows.

Remko,

 

Sinds 27 aug the VD buienradar crashes at the next line:

 

[DEBUG] 18:39:33: buienradar: 0
[DEBUG] 18:39:33:

Has Buienradar anything changed?

What can I do to solve it?

[jimicr 89]

Same problem here... and "error getting data" in the VD

[boerremk 83]

I will have a look.

[boerremk 83]

Host and url were changed.

 

I added a new VD to my original post.
