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.

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.

 

I cant seem to get this buienradar VD to work.

If I look at my global variable “Buienradar” it’s value is “0” when no rain is detected.

And from above statement It must set itself to “1” when rain is detected.

But with me it’s not gone to set itself to “1” but it’s value is time. So like “21:50”.

 

Ok so this part is filling "Buienrader" to raintime variable witch explains the value time that is inserted.

I cant find the code that sets the  globalvariable "Buienradar" to value "1"

Anybody know what I am doing wrong?

Hi @Ibie,

 

The variable is indeed filled with a time (it was on request changed by time instead of 1).

@boerremk

 

The VD doesnt seem to be updating the correct information.

Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn’t.

I compare the URL in my browser and shows different information…

There is also an other url that seems to be working:

Hi @Ibie,

 

I will keep an eye on this, for now it is ok (in my place), but will have some more tests if it stays ok. If I find the issue I will post a new VD.

 

It is not the first time that the url has changed, so wil also test the new url.

[Ibie 4]

Thank you

[boerremk 84]

The 2 urls give different results back ... The new url says "no rain", the old says "rain at 13:50"... we will see within 30 minutes who is right

[Ibie 4]

Yes i notested it to...

 

Sometimes when i used the one of yours with "gadget" it brought me to the buienradar map...

So if you try:

gadget.buienradar.nl/etc etc etc with long and lat

it redirects to:

While gpsgadget.buienradar.nl/etc etc etc with long and lat always give me the rain info

 

But with yours i stil also get results in

The last couple of days I compared the outcome of the 2 urls, but there are, almost, the same.

 

Keep in mind that the VD only displays values if the result is, rounded up, 0.1mm/hours of rain (077 is 0.1mm/hour of rain). Values of 035 will not be displayed, the reason is that you get a lot of false positives if you include the lower values.

 

I could change the VD that it shown also the Buienradar result (eq 0 (035)) or that you can set the minimal to display (and set as default 077).

thnx for testing these two url’s…

For me the gpsgadget.biuenradar.nl works best or actually pretty good.

So I changed the VD for this URL and seems to be working for now for my satisfaction at the moment (I will keep my fingers crossed)

 

I didn’t realize that 077=0.1mm rain… that’s explains a lot.

Then I don’t think it is necessary to change VD.

 

Thnx again for helping…

@boerremkI think they have changed the url again... Looks like they now use https. Do you also have the problem not getting any data... and can you help me with a sollution? thnx

Indeed it is changed!

 

In the orginal post I added the new VD.

 

The new url is:

BR = Net.FHttp("br-gpsgadget-new.azurewebsites.net",80);

[Ibie 4]

@boerremkThnx again for your support

[jimicr 90]

Weird, 
    BR = Net.FHttp("gadgets.buienradar.nl",80);

Was still returning data for me.

 

Have a good weekend!

I changed the url in the VD.

 

Also added a variable "url" at the top of the code.
