Weather service - local mqtt mode, StationConsumer is needed? about smartserver

[HolgerHees]

additionally I validate configuration in weather_service too 8dac14f

[HolgerHees]

The idea of the StationConsumer is to merge data with data from a real weather station. If there is no "local" weather station, the data are coming from the weather provider (e.g. openmeteo)

ArduinoExample: https://github.com/HolgerHees/arduino_weatherstation/blob/master/arduino_weatherstation_mini.ino

The StationConsumer it is now configurable (ea4fc89) with the key "weather_mqtt_station_consumer_topic"), but optional/disabled by default

in Openhab (https://github.com/HolgerHees/openhab-config/blob/master/templates/things/mqtt.things), i receive values from my weatherstation (Topic: mysensors-pub., e.g. line 82) and forward some of them to the station_consumer_topic (Topic: hhees/weather/station/., e.g. line 23)

The forward itself is happend here https://github.com/HolgerHees/openhab-config/blob/master/conf/items/sensors.items (e.g. line 172)

---

Just pull and it should work. Maybe the alert takes some time until it is gone / outdatet, because there are no new metrics related to the station consumer provided, if the station consumer is disabled.

Thank you very much for explanations and changes.

I have an of-the-shelf weather station that in openHAB is using this binding. I will try to forward the data from the weather station to a new created mqtt thing (to have my environment similar with your) - but that for another day.

This evening, the alarm disappeared with default weather_mqtt_station_consumer_topic, thanks to your modification.

Need more changes:

fixed in a82c65e

The name of the ansible variable should contains "provider" too. Otherwise the config.py variable is initialized with False

I found out that looking at mqtt topic name:

my fault. the related change was lost during a cleanup de45786
