Smartthings weather smartapp software#
But (and it is a big but) I have enough experience with programming and Pis that I would not anticipate the software side being a problem. Even starting from where you are and needing to buy the Pi and the USB logger, the hardware cost would probably not be more than half of that of your first approach. My additional hardware cost would be between 0 and $20, depending on what sort of pump it is (12 V DC, mains, whatever). If I wanted to do what you want to do, I would probably use weewx's alarm capability to toggle one of the Pi's I/O pins and hook this up to appropriate circuitry to switch the pump. My VP 2+ is hooked up (currently via a USB logger) to a Raspberry Pi, running weewx. * Meteobridge can be a DIY with Ambient license or it can be an Ambient WeatherBridge (already fully licensed)īoth of those options seem like an awful lot of money to spend, though the SmartThings approach would give you a setup that you could add more capabilities to at relatively small incremental costs. PWS -> Meteobridge* Nano -> -> Smartthings Smart App -> Smartthings Switch or Outlet -> Pump PWS -> Logger USB or IP -> Meteobridge* Standard -> -> Smartthings Smart App -> Smartthings Switch or Outlet -> Pump Be sure to use Smartthings Classic app to do this. Configure the following Smart app in Smartthings to be able to read weather data from and create a routine to trigger and power on the pump.Or get a Smartthings outlet or plug in outlet that the pump will use
Connect the pump to a Smartthings compatible light switch if it controls an outlet.Now your VP2 will be able to publish data to and to a bunch of other online weather services.
