Integrate weather information to improve performances of connected products.
With this plugin, you can integrate weather data provided by the OpenWeather service.
By configuring this plugin, you are able to create Location Metrics for local weather data loading.
You can map one of the following measures to location metrics:
Temperature:
Pressure
Humidity
Wind Speed
With the plugin and location metrics configured, the DPS will periodically (once an hour) contact the remote service to retrieve location data using GPS position of each location.
The retrieved measurement values are stored in the DPS and can be used as standard metrics.
Periodic data pushing
When at least one of the options inside the section named Weather Data Parameters Mapping is configured, the plugin start pushing weather information to the connected product.
Periodically, after retrieving weather data from the external service, the plugin sends remote updates to each thing by updating the configuration parameters with the weather measurements relevant to the location of the thing.
