v4.0.2

v4.0.2

• When using HTTP API, check that token and station_id are present and have valid characteristics.
• When Local API is used, token and station_id are not required and are not validated.
• User is able to switch between HTTP API to Local API and back to HTTP API without the need to re-enter token and station_id as these are retained in the config.sys file.

v4.0.1

• Check that station_id length is more than one character when initializing plugin in Local API mode.
• Update axios to v1.6.2 to address moderate severity vulnerability.

v4.0.0

v4.0.0

• Added Local UDP API support! Now you can choose to listen to your Weather Stations observations directly over your local network. No Station ID or API Token needed.
  • To use the local API add local_api: true or false to your top level configuration.
  • Observations are broadcasted every 60 seconds.
  • Leverages the obs_st message. See documentation for more information.
  • precip_accum_local_day not available with local API

v3.0.3

Combined 3.0.2 with 3.0.3

v3.0.3
Update node-version: [18.x, 20.x], remove 16.x which is no longer supported by homebridge.
Reformated getStationObservation() and getStationCurrentObservation() in tempestApi.ts.
Addresses observation_data is undefined, skipping update error in platform.ts polling loop.
v3.0.2
Update node-version: [16.x, 18.x, 20.x], remove 14.x which is no longer supported by homebridge.
Update devDependencies and dependencies to latest versions. Update/lock axios to version 1.5.1.
Updates to tempestApi.ts:
Add import https from 'https';
Add axios.defaults.httpsAgent = new https.Agent({ keepAlive: true });
Add axios.defaults.timeout = 10000;
Add explicit Promise returns to getStationObservation
Change validateStatus from <500 to >= 200 && status < 300 for axios.get calls
Delete isResponseGood function as additional obs parsing is not required.
Refactor getStationCurrentObservation so that retry loop is executed.
Updates to package.ts:
Revise setInterval loop to make use of async/await.

v3.0.1

• Update config.schema.json to include sensor name field.
• Add cautionary note to README.md when upgrading from a previous version of the plugin.

v3.0.0

WARNING NOT BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE YOU WILL NEED TO UPDATE YOUR CONFIGURATION FILE

v3.0.0

• New version providing additional functionality using occupancy sensors to display the Tempest sensor values.
• NOTE: There is a current limitation as HomeKit accessory names are set when the accessory is initially added and cannot be dynamically updated. The accessories are correctly displayed and updated in the Homebridge "Accessories" tab of the webpage interface. This version is not backwards compatible.
• Update supported node-versions to [14.x, 16.x, 18.x] in per homebridge guidelines.
• Add functionality to unregister deleted or renamed sensors. Renamed sensors will be added as new sensor and prior version deleted.
• Add barometric_pressure, precip, precip_accum_local_day, solar radiation and uv as occupancy sensors which display the numerical value of the characteristic as part of the occupancy sensor name. Trip levels can be set for each occupancy sensor.
• Add battery level to air_temperature Temperature sensor.
• Change PlatformAccessory SerialNumber from 000 to station_id.
• Correct occupancy sensor units. REST API reports in metric, plug-in displays in standard units.
• Correct fan speed units and calculation to round the wind_avg value rather than truncate to improve reporting of wind speed.
• Revise platform.ts and tempestApi.ts to determine tempest_device_id once on plugin startup.
• Update platformAccessory.ts to use sensor_properties.value_key for each sensor type.
• Update config.schema.json with new functionality to provide drop-down for available value_key options that are associated with the sensor_type. Add option to display metric or standard units for barometric, wind, and precipitation sensors. Note that C/F preference is set by Homebridge UI or HomeKit settings.
• Ensure that any config.schema.json changes are picked up during plugin startup and accessory.context is updated.
• Update README.md with new functionality, clarifying sensor_type and associated value_key options, provide typical trip values, and to provide additional details and occupancy_sensor limitations.
• Add screenshots folder and content for Wiki.

v2.0.1

[2.0.1] - 2023-03-14

Community contribution from @DMBlakeley thanks!

Updates to address runtime errors:

• platform.ts:
  • Add check in sampling loop for undefined observation_data.
  • Add explicit promise return types.
  • Add wind_chill and dew_point to observation_data as additional temperature characteristics.
• platformAccessory.ts:
  • Add maximum check of 100000 in getCurrentLux function.
• tempestApi.ts:
  • Add server status checking to getStationObservation function.
  • Change public async getStationCurrentObservation(retry_count = 0) to public async getStationCurrentObservation(retry_count: number) and update function calls in platform.ts to start the loop at 0.
  • Make explicit retry_count incrementing.
  • Add wind_chill and dew_point to observation_data as additional temperature characteristics.

Additional updates:

• package.json:
  • Update axios to latest version.
  • Add additional keywords.
• Add CHANGELOG.md file.

v2.0.0

[2.0.0] - 2022-12-20

Added

• Motion Sensor. Triggered by user specified value. Inspired by #3. Motion Sensors can be used to trigger events like alarms for high wind gusts at night.
  • additional_properties.motion_trigger_value

Changed

• Station ID must be an integer. Now explicit in schema and type checked durning plugin initialization.

Removed

• n/a
