Weather Listener

Description

The Weather listener retrieves meteorological metrics from OpenWeatherMap and sends the output to 1Gateway.

Prerequisites

The configuration of the Weather plugin includes an API Key retrieved from: https://home.openweathermap.org/users/sign_up

Installation

Make sure you have the 1gateway zip file that includes the plugin files and valid licences information ready. This file has been provided to you with the installation files.

Login to 1gateway, and make sure you are in "Advanced mode". If this is the first time you log in, the default user and password are both 'admin' (without the quotes).

2 - System Maintenance

Click on the menu icon and choose the option "System maintenance"

3 - Upload file

In the System maintenance view you can either drag and drop the downloaded zip file or select it by clicking the "choose file" button.

4 - Restart

After the upload installation will be confirmed. Restart 1Gateway to ensure any locked files are updated.

Configuration

Open the main menu and click on "New plugin"

Select the plugin you want to configure. Use the Filter field if needed.

The configuration needs to include the API Key from OpenWeatherMap. A profile needs to be defined for each location to retrive data from.

Field name	Supported values	Description
City	Any string	City name
Country code	Any string	Valid country code (in lower case)
Polling interval	Any integer	Polling interval in seconds (default is 300)

OpenWeatherMap updates the weather information every 20 minutes, so it is recommended that the polling interval is higher than 1200.
