NOAA Weather Plus v1.1.19

(FREE Indigo Pro 5.x and 6.x Plugin)

The NOAA Weather Plus plugin extends the functionality of Perceptive Automation's Indigo Pro (versions 5.0 and higher) home automation software by allowing you to create an Indigo device that contains weather information for your geographic location. Current weather conditions and a 7-day forecast for your location are gathered from the US National Weather Service (a department of NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration).

Indigo Pro includes a built-in NOAA Weather plug-in. However, NOAA Weather Plus goes beyond the functionality of the included NOAA Weather plug-in by adding the following features.

  • Use your exact geographic latitude and longitude to gather weather information rather than needing to look up your local NOAA weather observation station name.
  • 7-day forecasts for morning and evening weather conditions.
  • Forecasts include probability of precipitation.
  • Forecasts include the weather condition icon state for use in Indigo Pro control pages.
  • Forecasts include NOAA's plain-English worded weather predictions for each morning and evenin period.
  • 7-day high and low temperature predictions.
  • Wind chill factor temperatures are provided based on observed wind speed in your location (if provided by NOAA).
  • NOAA Weather Plus device states are backward compatible* with Indigo's included NOAA Weather plugin states, so there's no need to delete existing NOAA Weather devices. Just re-configure them to use the NOAA Weather Plus plugin.
  • NOAA Weather Plus devices refresh weather data from NOAA servers every 15 minutes rather than every 30 minutes like the included NOAA Weather plugin.

 

* NOAA Weather Plus does not contain the following states that do exist in the included NOAA Weather plugin: dewPointString, heatIndexString, temperatureString, windString. Additionally, all measurements are rounded to a realistic (lower) level of precission to more accurately reflect measured values coming from NOAA (e.g. temperatures do not contain decimal values).
