The embedded SmartThings Weather Station, which is what supplies the sunrise/sunset info for your location, is a cloud-based app. Thus, if you create a Smart Lighting automation that uses sunrise/sunset, it indeed is forced to run in the cloud.

By the same token, since my MeteoWeather DTH also (is forced to) run in the cloud, it can’t help you be totally local. In fact, the only way I know to do sunrise/sunset stuff locally is to switch to Hubitat…

MeteoWeather Station Update v1.1.25 released 22 May 2019 at 9:15am EDT

  • Adds a new preferences option to have all values averaged over the last update cycle period
    • Values are optionally averaged over the length of the update cycle.
    • Effectively smooths out the changes, but values get skewed forward in time
    • Really helps stop the “chatter” of wind speed and wind direction
    • Default is no averaging (all actual values) as before - change in device Preferences

This update is not required, but it is recommended

Hello storage!

It stop working for me.
It was working for a while but with this update it stop working.

24

What do you see in the Live Logging for the device?

You might try opening and resaving the Preferences…

25

If you still have issues, please reboot your MeteoBridge…then let me know what happens…

Hello Barry,

I been busy with work. I’ll get to it in the morning.

I want to let u know that I updated to a vp2 plus with a meteobridge nano SD. It did work so I am sure it works with your previous version. Oh and by the way I did reboot and had no effect. Tomorrow Il get the logs for you.

27

No worries - I’m on the tail of the problem.

Can you tell me what HW/SW versions you have on your Nano?

I can send you that prior version, if you want…

Results from testing MeteoWeather 1.1.25 overnight:

  • Causes MeteoBridge to lockup latest version of 4.0 after 2-3 hours - stops responding to template requests
  • Ditto with MeteoBridge 3.9 (May 5) version
  • Ran 7 hours without issue on MeteoBridge 3.8 (Jan 2) version

I’ll be sending a report on this to Boris at MeteoBridge momentarily

MeteoWeather Station version 1.1.28 released 26 June 2019 at 9:55pm EDT

  • Fixes icon display during transition period between night/day and day/night
  • Now displays properly in the Hubitat Dashboard’s Weather tile template
    • Wind speed and wind direction fixed. NOTE: this fix required changing the meaning of two attributes:
      • windDirection is now the direction the wind is coming from in degrees (0-360) - was direction text, i.e. NNW
      • windDirectionDegrees is no longer updated
      • windDirectionText is now the wind source direction text (NNW) - was direction degrees, i.e.,
        345
    • Now displays proper weather icon (translated to OpenWeatherMap icons)
  • Now fully supports an “optimized” template call to the MeteoBridge (new preferences option)
  • Use of averaged values is now a preferences option

NOTE: If you have problems getting data to display, please try updating your MeteoBridge system software - there have been fixes made to the MeteoBridge software to address issues discovered with the optimized template and averaged values.

This update is recommended for all users

  • Now supports extended timeout on Hubitat platform
  • Now supports new 503/504 (server busy/gateway busy) error responses
  • Preference setting to skip creating the MyTile content
  • Preference setting now allows 2 minute polling cycle (was just 1,3,5,…)

Note that this works best with Meteobridge 4.1 (Aug 28 2019, build 2402) and later.

MeteoWeather (WeatherBridge) Weather Station 1.1.31 posted on 9 October 2019

Updates include:

  • Preference setting to enable debug logging (default is off)

Apologies for asking a dumb question, but a network ID was not assigned when I installed the Meteobridge Weather Station. I’ve been through the available instructions and I can’t figure out what goes in this field when I define the new device. Help!

Does the app still work?
