WeatherFlow2MQTT for Home Assistant

bjarne · September 26, 2022, 12:59pm

I have noticed incorrect rain measurement on windy days also. Do you have RainCheck enabled? Maybe try turn that off if that is the case to see if that makes a difference.
This Add-On reads data through the UDP API, so we just report the Raw data, and do not make any adjustments on the data.

speedywrx · September 26, 2022, 8:27pm

Makes sense, glenngoddard. And bjarne - I don’t see a RainCheck option in any menu on the website UI or iOS app, but after reading about it, it doesn’t seem like it would help. The gist I get from RainCheck is that it will adjust the previous day’s readings based on the cloud data and still would not clear up the instantaneous false readings I’m getting in the HASS sensor. Thanks, all.

gizmoev · September 27, 2022, 4:57am

That is because it is now called NearCast Rain (which updates more frequently) and is buried in the settings menu: Settings, Stations, station name, Manage Devices, select device, Advanced.

bjarne · September 27, 2022, 5:41am

Thanks.
Just note that NearCast only works for Stations located in the US and parts of Canada, as per the Help description. So for the rest of us this has no effect.

Something must not be setup right.

The README.md file says:
If everything is setup correctly with MQTT and Home Assistant, you should now start seeing the sensors show up in HA

Where am I supposed to see sensors show up in HA.

I’m new to HA. I installed it this AM on a raspberry pi.

I installed docker and installed the container for HA and weatherflow2mqtt.

These are my logs from docker:

Sometimes HA takes a few minutes to display new sensors.

I installed Home Assistant Operating System and then installed WeatherFlow2MQTT for Home Assistant.

I’m not getting any WeatherFlow objects on the Home screen.

I have it installed on Home Assistant Container and it works fine. See my earlier post at WeatherFlow2MQTT for Home Assistant - #107 by user95

I know the WeatherFlow add-on runs and generates MQTT messages from the UDP messages because when I stop the add-on, the MQTT messages stop.

I can’t figure out what’s wrong.

glenngoddard · January 17, 2023, 12:06am

Post your sanitized docker setup. Don’t just copy and paste. Remove any API Key, MQTT Host/Password, any location info, station ID

Below is my Docker command, I (personally preference) do it all on one line; but for posting I will present it so it is more readable.

Ok, the terminology you used in your previous post implied you were using docker. Containers typically means Docker.

Are you running this as an Add-On or as a docker container? There is a difference.

user95 · January 17, 2023, 5:11pm

UPDATE:

I got it working by:
MQTT

Browse to your Home Assistant instance.
In the sidebar click on Settings.
From the configuration menu select: Devices & Services.
In the bottom right, click on the Add Integration button.
From the list, search and select “MQTT”.
Follow the instruction on screen to complete the set up.

This instance is an add-on. in the Home Assistant Operating System , not the Docker installation.

I switched to the OS version because I couldn’t figure out how to install Studio Code Server in the Home Assistant Container version. Maybe you could help me with that too.

This project monitors the UDP socket (50222) from a WeatherFlow Hub, and publishes the data to a MQTT Server. Data is formatted in a way that, it supports the MQTT Discovery format for Home Assistant, so a sensor will created for each entity that WeatherFlow sends out, if you have MQTT Discovery enabled.

Is MQTT discovery turned on?

My weatherflow2mqtt logs complain about my API Key, but I’ve verified that my STATION_ID and STATION_TOKEN are correct.

ERROR:weatherflow2mqtt.forecast:Your API Key is invalid or does not support this operation

bjarne · January 18, 2023, 10:26am

Could you try and go to the Swagger Page:

Click the Authorize Button, and enter your API Token in the field
Scroll down and find the station_id field. Enter your station_id and click the ‘Try it out!’ button.

Now check if you get data. If this works then your Token and API key works and I will then need more info from you to test it out with the Python wrapper.

user95 · January 18, 2023, 11:51am

I didn’t know this page existed. Thanks.

I tried the Swagger Page Authorization, but it didn’t help.

I had the wrong station ID configured.

The wrong setting I had was Tempest

The correct station ID that should have been configured was 61694

See API Key is invalid or does not support this operation · Issue #210 · briis/hass-weatherflow2mqtt · GitHub

Now I don’t see the complaint in logs.

I installed my Tempest device yesterday. Super happy with it.

Everything apparently went well on the install of weatherflow2mqtt with all sensors populating in HA. I have, however, one error message in the logs which keeps repeating itself:

ERROR:weatherflow2mqtt.sqlite:Could not write to High and Low Table. Error message: ‘>’ not supported between instances of ‘float’ and ‘NoneType’

I was wondering how I might resolve this error?

edit:
Is there somewhere I can see a list of the dewpoint comfort level classifications/terminology. I would like to create some automations based around these classifications. In my limited time with the device I have logged:
Ok for Most
Comfortable
Uncomfortable
I would like a complete list if anyone has one?

many thanks

This should be exactly what you want for the comfort levels.

Great, it is. Thanks for that…

Posting this just to pat myself on the back a bit as I just solved a nagging problem caused by the loss of the dark sky api. I am an old coder in that I know lots of languages, all of which are in a museum somewhere. So struggled through it but finally persevered.

With the loss of dark sky, I needed to fill 3 holes in my HA configuration: 1 - cloud coverage so that I can have a current weather icon that actually reflects the sky conditions (CLR, FEW, SCT, BKN, OVC); 2 - A nice readable current and daily summary of the weather; and 3 - weather alerts.

A rest call to open weather api got me 1 and 3. Borrowing a template from some other users in the HA forum I modified it for use with weather forecast from WeatherFlow. When combined with my customized weather card I get a nice little weather presentation that scrolls to provide all of the forecast data provided. see nite mode below:

Happy to provide more information if anyone is interested of course. The code is not pretty but it works. BTW, whoever designed date/time functions in Python/Jinja is a sadist.

If you have it up on github, post the link.
If you are using this for HA, are you using the standard weather?
I personally use the animated weather card, I just haven’t got around to modding it to add more items.
I pull everything from WF2MQTT from my Tempest.
I pull weather alerts from NWS (USA). I added cloud base and fog to WF2MQTT.
