Comprehensive list of station types and JSON elements #11

Closed mhilbush closed 5 years ago

mhilbush commented 5 years ago

Sorry for opening all these issues...

Is there a comprehensive list of the station types (and associated JSON elements) supported on ambientweather.net? In my openHAB smarthome integration project, I'd like to support more stations than the two I currently own (WS-1400-IP and WS-8482).

Alternatively, is there a test API key that I could use that has a variety of stations associated with it?

Also, for the real-time API, is it possible for the subscribed JSON object to include an identifier ID of the weather station model? I would like to use this to auto-discover the different station types associated with a subscription.

It'd be nice for us too, but unfortunately most devices don't send their station type. This is the exhaustive list of device params: https://github.com/ambient-weather/api-docs/wiki/Device-Data-Specs

Thanks. I saw that list. Unfortunately, that looks like a generic list of all possible data elements. I was looking for the specific data elements returned for each station type. The alternative would be a test API key that returned data objects for some or all stations.

I realize this is not necessary to parse the JSON. My goal was to expose channels just for the data elements for each Ambient Weather thing. Sorry for the use of the openHAB-specific terms.
