ajd123 Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 I have An Ambient Weather Station with a bunch of remote sensors I use to monitor fridges / freezers / rooms. I have a Weather Underground account which was set up back in 2017 and believe I have a valid API key for my device. I have the Chowmain Open Weather driver. How do I integrate my devices (sensors) into Control4? Is there a Control4 driver for Weather Underground? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphod Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 There used to be such a driver but then IBM bought WU and took greed to a new level by going from a free API for moderate usage to a minimum price of $10k/year. See: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See: I thought if you had the API before it went private, it could still be integrated? I could not find the Chowmain Weather Underground app anywhere? I was going to swap out my Ambient Weather sensors for Shelly H&T Gen3's but there are two problems: 1) The wifi seams to be unreliable communicating through some of my fridges. 2) I use these to monitor failure of fridges/freezers. My upright freezer is set to -25c. The Shelly only has an operating range of 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 105°F). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Chowmain has never had a weather underground driver. It's the native c4 weather driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would this allow me to integrate the the sensors into Control4 or is this different from an API? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Yeah I am pretty sure station id is what you need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall if it's in your system or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
