Hi,
Does anyone have any thoughts on how you would go about integrating WeatherDuino with Home Assistant. i.e. to pull in the various weather sensors in to display them on a Home Assistant dashboard.
I only have the Pro2+, although would consider upgrading if that would simplify the integration.

Hi mikeyk,

You can probably read some variables for example from small web site of WeatherDuino RX Pro2+ unit. I think the best utility for this job can be HACS MultiScrape... 
   

Personally, at the moment I only use iframes in HA to embed the entire website...

Hi mikeyk,

Since some time that I'm working (very slowly) in something which I think would allow Home Assistant (or other software) to fetch weather data from the WeatherDuino receiver by using JSON.
Unfortunately, due to hardware limitations, this enhancement hardly could be implemented on the Pro2 line of receivers, but possibly will be included on next software release for the 4Pro DB receiver.

JSON content will be something like this:

Code:

{"ID":"4P_U32","TID":160,"ts":1682843958,"Tin":219,"Hin":664,"Tout":158,"Hout":933,"P":10194,"Wsp":122,"Wgs":158,"Wdir":353,"Rtd":0,"Rfr":0,"SR":0,"UV":0}

I don't know much about Home Assistant, do you have any idea about how often it will fetch data from a external device? Every minute? Or it could be user defined?

@hornychz - Seems you are using Home Assistant too, do you know something about the question above? Thanks.

Hello guys,

I think it should be possible to parse said .json using a HACS module called MultiScrape. It allows not only to simultaneously read several (many) variables at once, but also to define the timing of operations as desired by the user.

(It's a very nice idea for the future, I'll definitely try to focus on it in time, but right now I'm totally busy with many other tasks... But I'm really looking forward to it. I'm currently using OpenWeatherMap information in HA and personally I think we often have more accurate information. Of course, we can hardly replace their predictions...)

Thank you Werk_AG for this idea!
