Works right away!
I have a few days ago in my Opensprinkler because weather service opensprinklershop.de:3336 configured. I live in northern Switzerland, about 35 km from the German border. I use Eto. With dark sky the weather data was bad to unusable. It often indicated rain although none had fallen for days. with Open Meteo things are quite different. Very promising so far and surprisingly precise in terms of precipitation, temperature and irradiation. Does Open Meteo also have a Swiss service provider?
I'm looking forward to the summer. Thank you for the improved weather data!
Hi
Like Jonas, I live in Switzerland (Canton Aargau) near the German border (about 20 km). In the options, I configured OpenMeteo with Eto (baseline automatically determined, altitude adjusted) and also configured the service opensprinklershop.de:3336. I checked my firewall to make sure the system can access the aforementioned service via HTTP. DNS checked, so everything's OK.
But: Unfortunately, I still get the error message “Weather service error” in the system diagnostics.
Strange: in the browser at work I get an error message SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG and on the mobile phone a similar SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR error.
Does the OpenSprinkler Which protocol is used to send the data? HTTP or HTTPS?
Thank you for advice!
Hello, the protocol is http, I have restarted the weather service.
With the latest firmware you can also use the weather service from weather.opensprinkler.com and switch to OpenMeteo.
Thanks for the hint!
I've tried various combinations in the meantime and still get the following error message under System Diagnostics: Weather Service: Error. Further down under Last Response: Weather Data Error.
Is there a way to get more detailed log data to narrow down the cause?
Thanks for your tips.
Hello, the comment function is not the right medium for this – Please send me your configuration via https://opensprinklershop.de/support
Hi, I can't get the new weather service to work, no matter what I enter in the weather field under IP/su (and confirm with password), I see "Weather service offline" and "Connection failed". http and https as well as port 3333 and 3336 were tried in all combinations and restarted in each case.
Another idea? Thank you!
Hi
maybe the firmware is too old? Menu links above, “About”, Firmware version?
Are you possibly using a fixed IP and have not entered a DNS server? If so, please enter 8.8.8.8 here (menu on the bottom right, options, advanced)
Or instead opensprinklershop.de:3333 enter the IP address:
130.180.44.149:3333
Is it working now?
Hi,
I have the same problem - whether with IP or URL, whether port 3333 or 3336, DNS resolution works, ping is answered, latest GIT print. When resetting to “weather.opensprinkler.com” and reboot, it takes about 15 minutes to reconnect to the weather service
Hi Stefan,
where is the difference in data between :3333 and :3336 if open meteo also uses the DWD data? I've just tried both and am getting different watering levels.
Regards,
Philip
While DWD uses the readings from the weather stations, Open Meteo uses a "weather model" that combines various data.
And where is the advantage/disadvantage of the two providers? Are there any specific recommendations?
