Oh neat 🙂

Thanks for this. I will have a play with it later this week.

I use the Hunter Industries sensor – you may need to adjust the polarity inside the config for it to work correctly but once that is done it just works.

Installed it and it just ran 🙂

The only change from the GitHub instructions was that I ran

npm install -g homebridge-tplink-smarthome

before running

npm update -g homebridge-tplink-smarthome

I run npm under sudo and have HomeBridge setup as a service.

Cheers & thanks!

Tim – I have been watching it on the HomeBridge list, will install later today 🙂

48vdc is the standard, IEEE 802.3af-2003 provides for up to 12.95 W per port.

There are newer higher power standards and non standard voltage proprietary versions – the most common proprietary one is probably the Ubiquity WiFi ecosystem.

The Raspberry Pi POE Hat is interesting but expensive and you still have to run a UTP cable between it and the Pi, I just use Texas Wifi POE -> Ethernet and µUSB cable. Bulkier but a lot cheaper.

You don’t need to configure it in your OS server it is managed centrally.

If there is no WU key it defaults to OWM. Make sure you have your lat/lon entered in the settings so it can get close to your personal weather station data.

I have not found a way to retrieve the information directly from a Netatmo Weather Station, all the code snippets/plugins call the cloud service.

The documentation discusses allowing you to call a specific station, https://dev.netatmo.com/resources/technical/reference/weather/getstationsdata

Let me know if you need an API key.

+1 for Netatmo as well.

There is python code for weeWX for pulling Netatmo data in from their servers that is perhaps reuseable for OSPi ?

Thanks

The UK store is still only showing 1.7.6 for the app currently. It says it has a small fix for 2.18 firmware with OSPi, updated 6 days ago.

Ray is aware of the issue and is actively looking for alternatives. He posted about it a couple of days ago but it was a sudden unexpected change so no timescale.
