node-red-node-openweathermap ============================ A <a href="http://nodered.org" target="_new">Node-RED</a> node that gets the weather report and forecast from OpenWeatherMap. Install ------- Run the following command in the root directory of your Node-RED install npm install node-red-node-openweathermap Usage ----- Two nodes that get the weather report and forecast from OpenWeatherMap. **Note:** An API key is required to use these nodes. To obtain an API key go to <a href="http://openweathermap.org/appid" target="_new">OpenWeatherMap</a>. ### Input Node Fetches the current weather or 5 day forecast at a location specified by `city and country` or `latitude and longitude` every 10 minutes - and outputs a **msg** if something has changed. ### Query node Accepts an input to trigger fetching the current weather either from a specified `city and country` or `latitude and longitude` or passed in on msg.location.city and msg.location.country or msg.location.lat and msg.location.lon ### Results Current conditions will return - **description** - a brief verbal description of the current weather for human reading. - **weather** - a very short description of the current weather. - **icon** - the weather icon code for the current conditions. - **id** - the id given to the current weather by OpenWeatherMap - **tempc** - the current ground temperature at that location in Celsius. - **tempk** - the current ground temperature at that location in Kelvin. - **humidity** - the current relative humidity at the location in percent. - **windspeed** - the current wind speed at the location in metres per second. - **winddirection** - the current wind direction at the location in meteorological degrees. - **location** - the name of the location from which the data was sourced. - **rain** - the precipitation amount in mm/h (only present if it is raining). 5 day Forecast will return a 5 part array, each with - **dt** - epoch timestamp - **pressure** - in hPa - **humidity** - in % - **speed** - wind speed in metres per second - **deg** - wind direction in degrees - **clouds** - cloudiness in % - **temp** - an object with various temperatures in degC, - day, min, max, night, eve, morn - **weather** - an object with some misc. data, - description, icon, main, id The node also sets the following properties of **msg.location**. - **lat** - the latitude of the location from which the data was sourced. - **lon** - the longitude of the location from which the data was sourced. - **city** - the city from which the data was sourced. - **country** - the country from which the data was sourced. Finally, the node sets: - **msg.time** - the time at which the weather data was received by OpenWeatherMap. - **msg.data** - the full JSON returned by the API. This is VERY rich...
