Rainfall and barometer virtual device?

Devices & Integrations

Is there something available I could use to view a rainfall and barometer reading? I’ve got the virtual weather device connected up with my home weather station, it displays temp humidity, wind, etc… but it doesn’t display all of the data I can get from it. I would like to have at least current rainfall and the barometer reading. I’m thinking this my be my first dive into writing my own edge driver, but I’m hoping not to recreate the wheel

@TAustin has an Edge driver called “Edge Weather V1” that can gather weather information from 4 sources including Weather Underground (WU). WU is able to pull data from personal weather stations. The down side is you need to run his Edgebridge on a constantly running PC, Raspberry Pi, or similar device.

As there are no ‘stock’ capabilities for those measurements, I had to create custom capabilities for my weather driver:

- id: partyvoice23922.preciprate
   version: 1
- id: partyvoice23922.precipprob
  version: 1
- id: partyvoice23922.barometer2
  version: 1

Feel free to use or copy for your needs.
