rdOpenWeather

Anticipating a heating restart or a load shed happens on a scale of hours; a daily average or yesterday's weather will not do, and driving on a forecast of unknown reliability means trusting without knowing.

rdOpenWeather connects a SkySpark project to a commercial weather service and creates weather stations recognized by the built-in weather application. It serves the short term: current conditions and a forecast over a few days at a step of a few hours, with forecast quality tracked by lead time. It complements the range's deep-history source: both can serve the same site. It requires an access key to the service.

• A forecast at the step that control needs, not a daily average.
• A service usable in a commercial context.
• Forecast quality is measured, site by site.
• Natively recognized stations.
• The range's two weather sources coexist on one site.

• Anticipating a heating restart.
• Preparing a load shed.
• Feeding a short-term forecast.
• Knowing which horizon to trust.
