Description

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

Prerequisites

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.

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

Configuration
