Peter, I like your approach via the access point. I already ordered a usb to ethernet adapter which should be delivered latest on Saturday. In the mean time I will prepare the Zero according the article. I keep you posted here once prepared.

Step 1 of “Setup a Raspberry Pi To Intercept PWS Information” is completed, now comes the tricky part of reversing further instructions to read the PWS WiFi and to forward it to the router via ethernet. I most likely will need some help to get it work.

Thanks, Jürgen.

@Peter I have a Pi Zero W which I will try to use as “man in the middle” just the other way around described at the OpenSprinkler-Weather/docs “Setup a Raspberry Pi To Intercept PWS Information”. I hope to be able to set it up to connect the weather station via WiFi to the Pi and from there to forward the information via ethernet to my router to feed the NAS. Any thoughts?

BINGO, now it seems to work. I get a “OpenSprinkler Weather Service v1.0.3” on the screen when opening 10.0.0.38:3000

[jhaug40]

Peter, I set HOST=0.0.0.0 and PORT=3000
The “.env” file was created and will now be edited for PWS.
I did a “npm start” but was not able to connect to IP:3000 I think it’s due to the errors regarding missing information.

Hello Peter, getting there 😉

In addition I had to install the Git package on the NAS. Now I was successful in installing the OS Weather Service. Step 3 – compiling is complete. Step 4 is about OWM or Dark Sky API. If I just want to use my own PWS, is this Step necessary?

Hi Peter, thank you for helping me out. NodeJS is installed on the Synology, WinSCP on my PC and connected to the NAS. Do I have to copy all files from the OpenSprinkler Weather Service to the NAS? The readme.md is telling me that the server.js is the primary file but I don’t find it. How to install Weather Service now on the NAS?

My router is a Huawei HA35-22/AM.

Servus @Peter I spent hours to find information on how to use my own PWS data for my OSPi. The OWM doesn’t work for me at all. I do own a Synology DS215j and a Ventus W830 which reports direct to WU via WiFi. Is there any Step by Step or tutorial available on how to get this work within my local network? I would like to use the NAS as a Webserver and have OSPi using that data. I have basic knowledge on how to use the terminal to install packages or executing command lines pasted in. But for me it’s hard to understand how to get OpenSprinkler Weather Service work. Any advice highly appreciated.

All the best from Austria,
Jürgen.

Hi,

just successfully updated my OpenSprinkler Pi to 2.1.7 I’m using a Pi3 and it worked flawless the whole season.

If you only want to update the instructions provided is incomplete:
First step you have to download the update by “git clone https://github.com/OpenSprinkler/OpenSprinklerGen2.git”
And for me the last step was power off then on again.
Now everything works perfect!

Hope this to be useful for others.
Greetings from Austria,
Juergen.

I’ve red that post but it doesn’t work. Nothing happens when I type in PWS:ISTEIERM133 It seems only cities can be inserted.
Mine is the newest version 2.1.6

Juergen.
