Sager Weathercaster Binding

The Sager Weathercaster is a scientific instrument for accurate prediction of the weather. This binding is currently incompatible with openHAB 2.

Limitations

• To operate, this binding will need to use items provided by other means (e.g. Weather Binding, Netatmo, a 1-Wire personal weather station...)
• This binding directly queries a persistence service for historical data to analyze

For these reasons, this binding is not a binding in the usual sense, and might have trouble operating in newer runtimes.

Binding Configuration

This binding can be configured in the file services/sagercaster.cfg.

Property	Default	Required	Description
latitude		Yes	latitude of the observed items
persistence		No	name of the persistence service to use when searching past values for wind direction and sea level pressure. Default persistence service will be used if nothing filled here

Item Configuration

Input items

Number winddirection ... {sagercaster="windbearing"}

The wind direction expressed in 0-360°. This item has to be persisted

Number seapressure ... {sagercaster="sealevelpressure"}

The Seal Level Pressure, expressed in hPa. This item has to be persisted

Number cloudlevel ... {sagercaster="cloudlevel"}

The current cloud level, expressed in %

Switch israining ... {sagercaster="raining"}

An item indicating wether it's raining or not. This item must be a SwitchItem

Number beaufort ... {sagercaster="windspeed"}

Windspeed, expressed in Beaufort Index.

Examples

Here are the list of items you can put in your .items file in order to use binding functionalities:

Group  swc "SagerWeatherCaster"

// Items directly derived from inputs
String swc_compass 		"Wind Orientation [%s]" 								(swc) { sagercaster = "compass" }
Number swc_windtrend 	"Wind Trend [MAP(sager/windtrend.map):%s]" 				(swc) { sagercaster = "windtrend" }
Number swc_presstrend 	"Pressure Tren [MAP(sager/presstrend.map):%s]" 			(swc) { sagercaster = "pressuretrend" }

// SagerWeatherCaster Forecast Items
String swc_forecast 	"Weather Forecast [MAP(sager/forecast.map):%s]" 		(swc) { sagercaster = "forecast" }
String swc_velocity 	"Wind Forecast [MAP(sager/windvelocity.map):%s]" 		(swc) { sagercaster = "velocity" }
Number swc_windfrom 	"Wind varying from [MAP(sager/winddirection_ntz.map):%s]" 	(swc) { sagercaster = "windfrom" }
Number swc_windto 	"Wind varying to [MAP(sager/winddirection_ntz.map):%s]" 	(swc) { sagercaster = "windto" 	}

Observation delay

You'll have noticed that some inputs for the binding needs to be persisted. SagerWeatherCaster needs an observation period of minimum 6 hours to start producing outputs.
