I believe the program uses the current observations data. Specifically, the ‘icon’ and ‘icon_url’ fields because they provide a text value of what the weather is currently.

The following are considered adverse weather:

        adverse_codes = ["flurries","sleet","rain","sleet","snow","tstorms","nt_flurries","nt_sleet","nt_rain","nt_sleet","nt_snow","nt_tstorms"]

The following will reset (clear??) the rain delay:

        reset_codes = ["sunny", "clear", "mostlysunny", "partlycloudy"]

Maybe there are more fields values that originally anticipated?

Now, I’d like to ask if the program could consider using the same information from the hourly forecast. The reason being is that I don’t want to water the grass if I know there is a X percent probability of rain in the next Y hours. Of course, I’d like X and Y to be user defined. 🙂 I believe the hourly forecast has a field called ‘pop’ for probability of precipitation?

Thanks!

Good question. I’ve just started running mine and the temperature is holding between 58 and 60 degrees Celsius. That seems a little hot for being late in the evening where the device is in the garage.

Unless this is normal, my probably course of action is to remove the cover and hack in a small fan. 🙁

Hi Ray.

Thanks for the insight on your future efforts.

Should we assume new hardware designs will target the Raspberry Pi B+ model while the original will not get (major) hardware updates?

Cheers,

Hi Ray.

Lately, I haven’t had time to even think about getting an OSPi but now I figured I’d ask if you had any comments on a new revision.

Perhaps it’s being completely retooled for the RPi B+ or the RPi Compute Module?

Thanks,
Brad

The current stock is already on back-order. That was fast. 🙂

Any thoughts around a time frame for the OSPi with the electrical enhancements noted in the thread and blog postings?

Cheers,
Bradley

Hi everyone.

I don’t have any comments regarding the electronics but I am about to buy one and see v1.4 is going to ship in early May.

Just wondering what features made it into v1.4 and if that other enclosure is being used. If so, what’s covering the hole?

Thanks,
Brad
