Old Meteoplug Forum - now read-only!

Hello,

among the parameters that I receive from meteoplug, I found this: actual_thb0_fc_text, it contains a text description of the current forecast like "Increasing_clouds_with_little_temperature_change._Precipitation_possible_within_24_to_48_hours." or "Mostly_cloudy_and_cooler._Precipitation_possible_within_12_hours,_possibly_heavy_at_times._Windy."; etc. I think to use this data to display customized icons of current weather, but I haven't information of the possible values of this actual_thb0_fc_text parameter. Can anyone tell how this value is calculated on meteoplug and which possible values ​​it may contain?

Thanks for any advice.

This are Davis Vantage spefic forecast messages.

Thanks for the reply! I did some research, but unfortunately did not find the necessary documentation that interests me...
1) As far as I understand, this param contains forecast, not the current weather?
2) If it is forecast, how often it updated and for how long it is valid?
3) Can I find somewhere a list of all possible values ​​of this parameter?

I would appreciate if someone can help me with these questions

ad 1) yes, forecast
ad 2) about once a minute it is received from the console
ad 3) may be somewhere in the intenet...

Thanks for the help

Can anyone tell how this value is calculated on meteoplug and which possible values ​​it may contain?????

Depends on your station. Which station do you have connected?

I am confused to say the least.

I try to understand the Meteoplug / template / Sensor IDs and Values

As far as I can find there is no actual_thb0_fc_text in Meteoplug. That text is the tag for Meteohub.

All i can find in Meteolplug is:
[actual_min5_thb0_forecast] => 2.0
[actual_min5_thb0_forecasttext] => Half Cloudy
The last one seems not to be a Davis forecast text either. More like a "current condition" text of some sort.

I am using Meteohub for uploading to Meteoplug with Station 0 (Vantage via USB serial /dev/ttyMH21): altitude 42m

Can soemone please tell me how to get the Davis text forecast or even a Davis forecast rule number?

Thanks Wim
