    Better scratch your balls than your frozen windshield – MQTT warning for nightly low temperatures with Node-RED querying a weather API

    ByStefan February 16, 2023February 16, 2023

    I have a talent to forget to cover my car before a night with temperature below zero and the next morning I have to scratch away all the ice. As I really don’t like that I decided to build a warning mechanism for that. I already had a Node-RED flow querying the weather API to…

    Easy peasy – querying weather API in Node-RED and publishing the current temperature to a MQTT broker

    ByStefan February 15, 2023

    Precondition: Have your lokal MQTT broker and Node-RED installed and setup or access to a remote one. I recently added a http request node querying a weather API to Node-RED. After extracting, the current temperature is then published on the local MQTT and can be used by all devices connected to the broker.In this example…

    Where are they going? – int angle to direction mapping in Python

    ByStefan February 13, 2023February 13, 2023

    A little util to map direction angle from weather API to ‘NW’ (SHORT, default) or ‘north west’ (LONG). Supports english (default) and german. An example API call to the weather API I am using and mapping the current wind direction to readable format. All my weather related code at github https://github.com/worksonmymachine-de/weather.

    It’s raining codes and docs. WMO weather interpretation code mapping and translation for english and german

    ByStefan February 10, 2023February 13, 2023

    Just wanted to let you know I wrote a little mapper / translation for WMO weather codes as the (free) API I use for current weather and forecast also provides it. An example API call to the weather API I am using and mapping the current weather code to readable format. The code is on…
