![]() ![]() It makes little sense for me to use DarkSky for my OpenSprinkler installation. This means weather data delivered by DarkSky does not reliable reflect local weather conditions. Especially the amount of rain differs a lot from the actual situation at my home. At my hometown DarkSky provides only weather reports for the whole Nuremberg area. The official OpenSprinkler weather service by default uses the DarkSky API. The weather data needed for the OpenSprinkler watering scale calculation perfectly reflect local weather conditions, including correct precipitation measurements. The official weather service provided by OpenSprinkler, as well as a local copy of this weather service running on my Raspberry Pi can be used for weather adjustments. ![]() Weather Underground can be interfaced by the OpenSprinkler weather service if a PWS station name and a valid API key is acquired by Weather Underground. Therefore a negligible chance of watering the garden a little bit more than needed exists.Īdditionally, I`m using the Meteoware Service to retrieve the Netatmo PWS weather data every 10 minutes from the Netatmo cloud service and forward the data to Weather Underground. The total precipitation listed by WeeWX is less than actually summarized by Netatmo. The precipitation amount isn’t correctly summed up by WeeWX. However, there exists an issue with short rainfall periods. ![]() The weather data needed for the OpenSprinkler watering scale calculation reflect local weather conditions. The OpenSprinkler weather service runs on the same Raspberry PI and uses this weather data as input for the Zimmerman watering scale calculation. A WeeWX installation running on this Raspberry PI retrieves the Netatmo PWS weather data every 5 minutes from the Netatmo cloud service. I’m hosting an own weather server consisting of a Raspberry PI connected to my local WiFi network. The results are based on German weather conditions and may differ for other climate regions. Please find below the results of my comparison. ![]()
