I'm interested in controlling a bluetooth tap timer. I have working python code to connect and turn it and off, so writing a plugin shouldn't be too hard.

However, the tap timer contains its own timer and doesn't just do ON/OFF. It wants a number of minutes to run for.  Worse, I can't just say "run for 1 minute" every 30 seconds, because if it's on already, it switches off and back on again.

Is it possible to get the desired runtime in a plugin? (And how would that work for manual override?)

I could just send a really big number of minutes to the timer and rely on the OFF event later to cancel it, but using the timer sounds like a decent safety measure. So maybe using 30 minutes as the really big number would be ok; if it ran wild for 30 minutes that wouldn't be a disaster, and also I can tolerate an extra off/on every 30 minutes.

Thanks,
H

Hi,
I am just trying out SIP and interested in weather integration. I see that weather_adj supports WUnderground and Yahoo.

From what I've read elsewhere, WUnderground is no longer available for free, unless you have an existing API key.

For Yahoo, one of the URLs mentioned in the source refers to a non-existent hostname now:
http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?w=

and the other one returns the message "<message>geo.placefinder table is no longer supported</message>" when I query it:

https://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yq...<woeid>%22

Are there any working alternatives?

Thanks,
H.

Hi All,

Dan great program btw, I'm looking to add in level control to my rain water tank, once the level of the tank gets to low it will stop programs from running. The ultrasonic kit I'm using is weather proof probe kit https://core-electronics.com.au/weatherp...probe.html and have tested it with https://www.raspberrypi-spy.co.uk/2013/0...on-part-2/ (code script is on website) but since I'm a beginner just having some trouble adding it as a plugin. The second plugin I'd like to add is a gpio to go high to close drain actuators for x amount of time when the rain sensor has detected rain, and open once rain sensor has gone low. 

Hi,

I'm getting my SIP controller set up, and I'd like to write a plugin for some custom weather behaviors.  I've looked through the plugins out there already that perform this type of function, but I'm up against a python knowledge limitation that I could use some help with.

Specifically, the behavior where a plugin appears to change the value of of water scaling through a statement such as this:





gv.sd['wl_monthly_adj’] = (some calculated value)


or



gv.sd['wl_weather’] = (some calculated value)



I don't understand, and I can't find any information on, how adding 'wl_monthly_adj' and a value to the gv.sd dict ends up changing the water scaling that seems to be controlled by gv.sd['wl'].  I assume it has something to do with the options = [ block at the end of gv.py and overloading based on the underscore, but I don't know.



Thanks in advance!

First of all, a big thank you to Dan for this great project.
I already have an installation on raspberry and an 8 relays board that works great.
My house has two isolated area , one in front and one in back. In the front I use SIP, in the back a traditional system. I would also like to replace this one with SIP.
I took a second raspberry with an 8 relay board and I installed SIP, but I would like to use only one interface to handle everything, like master and slave. Also, because I have a rain sensor installed in the front and used by SIP.
I installed the mqtt plugin on both SIP, but I'm a beginner and I do not know how to configure it to sending commands and receive feedback to/from the second SIP.
Would anyone, kindly, give me a hand?
Thank you

Hi all,

is the Telegram Bot working for you? I added the plugin and created a new bot and added all details like Token etc...But nothing is happening? What else is required to do?

Cheers

Hi all,

I just recently installed SIP. Everything is working as expected. As I planned to integrate SIP (or at least few states) into my home automation system (ioBroker) I installed paho-mqtt, the base MQTT plugin and MQTT Zones plugin.
After restarting SIP, I entered all details for MQTT. The MQTT broker is running on a separate Pi...But somehow it is not connecting to the Broker.

Can someone describe the configuration? What is wrong with my setup? Where can I find the log?


Thanks in advance.

Hello,
THANK YOU to the developer for this great projet.
SIP Travel to Portugal, to be more specific, 30km south of Lisbon (Palmela)
I have a Raspberry 2 B+ and  4 relay board  plus 4 Shift register board.
My installation for the future  use 32 valves,for Drip irrigation vegetables.( tomatoes, melao, watermelon, peppers, courgetes,  potatoes, cabbage,  pumpkins etc. I place here photos of the material and briefly the complete system .  I'm very satisfied about easy and efficient of SIP.
 

Best Regards
