Weather Sources

Every project supports an optional weather source. The weather data is automatically populated based on your project’s configured city.

Sources

The address format for Weather sources is:

weather

Projects are restricted to a single weather source.

Source Maps

Weather source maps are created from a built-in template. On the Source Maps page, choose Add → Add Weather Source Map. The new map is prefilled with the points listed below, using the units for the configured project city.

The map is fully editable once created. Rename it, remove points that are not needed, or adjust types and units. Weather is not offered in the source type list on the standard Add Source Map form.

Points

Weather sources only support readonly points. The address format is:

<type>.<point_id>

ai.101
ei.104

Units will be automatically converted between US and SI based on the configured city. The available points may vary based on location, but generally will support:

• Temperature
• Temperature Apparent
• Temperature Dew Point
• Condition
• Daylight
• Humidity
• Pressure
• UV Index
• Wind Speed
• Cloud Cover
• Precipitation Amount
• Condition Enumeration

The condition point is an enumerated value for the current observed weather conditions. The possible values are:

 0: unknown
 1: clear
 2: partlyCloudy
 3: cloudy
 4: drizzle
 5: rain
 6: heavyRain
 7: tstorm
 8: fog
 9: haze
10: windy
11: winteryMix
12: snow
13: heavySnow

Changing Project City

If you change your project city setting, your Weather source will automatically start collecting from the new location, but existing trends will reflect the old location.

To remove old trends, unbind and delete the current Weather source. And create a new source after the project settings have been updated.
