"No weather data found." #152

DrStS · 2024-04-21T11:38:45Z

I have configured the openweather API v3 and have also checked if it is working. The API calls together with my key are working in the command line. Yet if I am using it through freeboard-sk I always get "No weather data found."
Unfortunately, the debug log did not help me either. Is there a trick how to get it enabled?
Thanks, best Stefan

If you turn on debugging for the Freeboard-SK plugin you should see messages that indicate what is happening.

There needs to be a vessel position for else it will not fetch the data.

Any data fetched by the plugin will appear in the data browser on the server under the meteo.freeboard-sk context.

DrStS · 2024-04-22T05:51:11Z

Thanks a lot for the advice. Is there a way to fake the vessel position?

panaaj · 2024-04-22T07:36:52Z

You can enter information in "data fiddler" in the server admin UI or (what I use) is SKSim which you can install on the server via the app store.

DrStS · 2024-04-22T08:17:33Z

Thanks when I do that. I get this in the debug console.

DrStS · 2024-04-22T08:19:14Z

A call to the openweather API3 with my key gives this:

{"lat":39.099724,"lon":-94.578331,"tz":"-06:00","date":"2020-03-04","units":"standard","cloud_cover":{"afternoon":41.0},"humidity":{"afternoon":46.0},"precipitation":{"total":0.0},"temperature":{"min":278.31,"max":288.31,"afternoon":285.65,"night":281.56,"evening":286.21,"morning":279.67},"pressure":{"afternoon":1018.0},"wind":{"max":{"speed":5.5,"direction":233.0}}}

So I assume that the API works.

panaaj · 2024-04-22T22:35:31Z

So if you use your browser and go to:
signalk/v2/api/meteo
You should see an entry with the id freeboard-sk. That indicates that the fetch from Openweather was successful.

You should see data if you visit
/signalk/v2/api/meteo/freeboard-sk/forecasts

DrStS · 2024-04-25T08:43:53Z

both of these api call render a empty response {}.

panaaj · 2024-04-25T09:29:29Z

No data was fetched.
Turn on debugging in the Plugin Config screen.

The server console should have verbose logging of the fetch process for weather data.

DrStS · 2024-04-25T13:35:41Z

This the log

panaaj · 2024-04-25T23:58:01Z

With Debug Log turned on, you should be seeing entries like the following in the log when a vessel position is available....

  @signalk/freeboard-sk *** Vessel position: {"longitude":5.4001780833333335,"latitude":53.20037115}. +1ms

  @signalk/freeboard-sk **** METEO - build metas ***** +0ms
  @signalk/freeboard-sk **** METEO - building observation metas ***** +0ms

If you don't log entries like those above, then openweather is not being polled for data.

If there is no position available then lthe og entries will look like this....

 @signalk/freeboard-sk *** Weather: RETRY = 1 after no vessel position detected! +5s
 @signalk/freeboard-sk *** Weather: No vessel position detected! +0ms

Just to cover all bases, the PluginConfig should look like this.. and submit pressed to re-start the plugin.

DrStS · 2024-04-26T06:34:27Z

Thanks! I have found the problem. If the plugin is enabled before the vessel pos is available than it does not fetch any data. Workaround: restart freeboard-sk. Yet I might think this is not the intended behavior?

panaaj · 2024-04-26T07:12:35Z

This is the intended behaviour.... it tries three times to retrieve the vessel position before "sleeping".... This is so if there is no internet connection it does not continuously try to poll.
Re-starting the plugin after vessel position is available is the remediation.

martincaddick · 2024-05-12T11:00:51Z

I too am seeing 'No weather data found'. Debug log shows this so I know it is sort of getting there.

panaaj · 2024-05-12T22:47:01Z

From the debug log the weather data has been fetched.

Check the data browser in the SignalK server administrator admin UI.

there should be data under the meteo.freeboard-sk context.

You should also be able to use your browser to view data at <your sk server>/signalk/v2/api/meteo/freeboard-sk

martincaddick · 2024-05-14T16:24:47Z

Does this mean it is having a problem uploading the position to meteo?

It appears that there is an issue parsing the data returned from OpenWeather.
The position data is empty and this should reflect the values returned from OpenWeather.

You can try calling the API from your browser to see what is returned for your position....

https://api.openweathermap.org/data/3.0/onecall?lat=47.31368637084961&lon=5.026662349700928&exclude=minutely,daily&appid=<your_api_key>

martincaddick · 2024-05-15T07:34:55Z

Does this mean that using weather forecast in freeboard-sk requires a paid subscription to openweather?
{
"cod": 401,
"message": "Please note that using One Call 3.0 requires a separate subscription to the One Call by Call plan. Learn more here https://openweathermap.org/price. If you have a valid subscription to the One Call by Call plan, but still receive this error, then please see https://openweathermap.org/faq#error401 for more info."

panaaj · 2024-05-15T10:13:01Z

You need a V3 API key.

You have to register but only pay if you breach the free threshold for requests.
Personally I have not breached the free threshold, so have not been billed.

You can set a maximum number of requests per hour in the user portal so you do not exceed the free limit. I suggest you do this as a failsafe.

By default the plugin makes 1 request every hour so there should be no issue with billing.

panaaj · 2024-05-15T10:15:12Z

As an FYI there is a weather API in development and a plugin to use open-meteo.

SignalK/signalk-server#1733

martincaddick · 2024-05-15T19:28:41Z

Thanks for your patience, working well now. After signing up for the One Call API 3.0 plan I then needed to create a new API key. It still didn't work with the original key.
