Integrate weather information to improve the performance of connected products subject to external conditions (e.g., temperature, humidity, wind).
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, Humidity, Pressure.
With the plugin and location metrics configured, the DPS will periodically (once an hour) contact the OpenWeather service to retrieve location data using the 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 in the section titled Weather Data Parameters Mapping is configured, the plugin begins sending weather information to the connected products through configuration parameters.
