Hi BeoHut,

After enabling the openWeather Driver, you should add a resource with the coordinates of your location. That resource will trigger events and update the status,  that should help you on the macro programming.

The weather is not displayed on the beolink app, it is just for macro programming.

Regarding the TPLink system, which driver are you using?

Best!

Thanks Frederico for your reaction and explanation.

I've configured the OpenWeather API in my system and for the address I've used the coordinates. I understand that I can use the API in a macro, for example for shades without an outside weather sensor. It's a pity that the visualisation software, like NEST, is not available. Even I can program a macro with lights, when it's cloudy outside.

Is it possible that you can give me an example for a macro, when I use the weather API?

The TP-Link driver does not load. I use version 0.1 as described in tools->advanced. I have a TP-Link smart plug type HS110. How do I use this driver?

Kind regards!

I managed to use the Open Weather API with my BLGW in a macro.

As a test i have made a macro to switch on the lights when it's rainy outside. The lights turn off when the rain has stopped.

Now I can make some macro's for my shades (up when it rains and/or cloudy outside). The help from Fredeirco to use the API in a macro was very helpful. Thank Frederico. And this API works without placing a weather sensor outside. Great!

Now I have to find a solution for my TP-Link smart plug. Any help would be great.

Kind Regards!

Hi BeoHut,

Please write me an email and I will try to help you on making TPLink driver work.

Best,

Fede.-

Dear frederick,

Hi beoandy,

There is now a solution.

The Ikatu-team made an update available for this smart plug. You have to use version 0.3 (external drivers, TP-Link Smart Plug).

It works now flawless .

I have e-mailed the Ikatu-team and they tested and programmed it for me. With this update it should work. (I use it with my mechanical Ventilation system when cooking and showering in the bathrooms. Connected it to a KNX-lightsystem which triggers the smart plug. I'm happy.

If you want any help, please ask me!

Kind regard, BeoHut

hi beohut!

thank you! i ordered a hs110 again and will report. do you upgrade the firmware on the the hs110? (i will try it out of the box) 

beoandy

hi beohut!

the external driver for the tp-link hs110 (0,3) is working great. (firmware 1.2.5)

on, off, toggle all okay!

a litte pit strange is no resources import. (but no need of it!) and a lot of information every 10 sec. on the log page of the blgw.

next stop: the hue driver. since the new bridge update from hue the bridge goes offline every since and then.  (but i think there is more a bug in the new hur firmware side)

thanks!
