This is the local weather station poly for the Universal Devices ISY994i](https://www.universal-devices.com/residential/ISY) Polyglot interface with Polyglot V2 (c) 2018 Robert Paauwe MIT license.
This node server is intended to support various weather software packages. Currently, the following software packages are supported:
- Cumulus - http://www.sandaysoft.com/
- Weather Display
- MeteoBridge
The WeatherPoly node server runs a simple web server process that listens for data packets from your weather software package. The packets are parsed and sent on to the ISY. This all happens on your local network, without any dependency on cloud/web based services.
- Backup Your ISY in case of problems!
- Really, do the backup, please
- Go to the Polyglot Store in the UI and install.
- Add NodeServer in Polyglot Web
- After the install completes, Polyglot will reboot your ISY, you can watch the status in the main polyglot log.
- Once your ISY is back up open the Admin Console.
- Configure the node server field mapping (see below).
The settings for this node are:
- Not used
- Not currently used
- Configure the port the node server will listen on
- Configure the units used when displaying data. Choices are:
- metric - SI / metric units
- us - units generally used in the U.S.
- uk - units generally used in the U.K.
Most weather software packages have a way to send data to a web based weather service. This node server takes advantage of that and acts like a web based weather serivce. It starts a simple local web server on the port specified in the configuration. It listens for basic HTTP GET requests from from your weather software and parses the results. Most of the weather software packages allow you to customize the data that is sent to a user defined web service. Below is some guidence on how to configure the weather software supported by this node server. Other weather software may work if it can be configured in a similar maner.
Under internet settings, there is an option for Custom HTTP. Configure the URL with your Polyglot's IP/Host and the port number specified above. I.E.
Append to that "cumulus" followed by data value names, tags for the weather data you want to track. You'll use the same value names in the node server configuration to map the data to ISY node values. As an example:
http://192.168.1.12:8080/cumulus?temp=<#temp>&pressure=<#press>
Then in your node server configuration you'll map:
temperature-main = temp pressure-station = pressure
Set up a new weather Network using the Home Weather Station option and enter your node server IP/Host and port number specified above as the API URL. For example:
API URL: http://192.168.1.12:8080/
MeteoBridge has a pre-defined template that it uses so send data to this service. The node server will map the fields from this as described in the mapping below.
The complete list of available node/driver values that can be mapped are:
temperature-main
temperature-dewpoint
temperature-windchill
temperature-heatindex
temperature-apparent
temperature-inside
temperature-extra1
temperature-extra2
temperature-extra3

- Polyglot V2 itself should be run on Raspian Stretch.
To check your version,
cat /etc/os-releaseand the first line should look likePRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch)". It is possible to upgrade from Jessie to Stretch, but I would recommend just re-imaging the SD card. Some helpful links: - This has only been tested with ISY 5.0.13 so it is not guaranteed to work with any other version.
This node server starts a simple web server. The server will wait for connections from the weather software and process the data sent by the weather software. You will need to configure your weather software to send data periodically to the node server. This configuration will be similar to how you configure it to send data to other weather services. Typically, you will need to supply the URL and data schema. The URL will be be composed of the IP address or name of of the machine running Polyglot along with the port number you defined in the configuration. For example:
Data schema, instructions TBD
Open the Polyglot web page, go to nodeserver store and click "Update" for "WeatherPoly".
For Polyglot 2.0.35, hit "Cancel" in the update window so the profile will not be updated and ISY rebooted. The install procedure will properly handle this for you. This will change with 2.0.36, for that version you will always say "No" and let the install procedure handle it for you as well.
Then restart the Weather Poly nodeserver by selecting it in the Polyglot dashboard and select Control -> Restart, then watch the log to make sure everything goes well.
The Weather Poly nodeserver keeps track of the version number and when a profile rebuild is necessary. The profile/version.txt will contain the Weather Poly profile_version which is updated in server.json when the profile should be rebuilt.
