# Changelog

<br>

## Version 2

**When:** `January 2020` <br>
**What:**     `Removes Wunderground Support`

<br>

### Wunderground ➞ OpenWeatherMap

*Weather Data Provider Replacement*

<br>

**Wunderground**, the weather information provider <br>
we used so far, [stopped their free tier][No Free] without notice <br>
on `May 15, 2018` .

This release adds support for `OpenWeatherMap.com` , an <br>
alternate provider with a free tier for weather information.

The `WeatherStationDemo` has been adapted to use <br>
this new **API** through the `OpenWeatherMapCurrent` <br>
and `OpenWeatherMapForecast` **REST** clients.

<br>

*Sadly **OpenWeatherMap** provides less* <br>
*information than **Wunderground** does.*

<br>

If you are missing attributes in the response docs <br>
then please contact the **[OpenWeatherMap]** team.

<br>
<br>

### OLED Library Upgrade

<br>

The **ESP8266 OLED Library** changed <br>
a lot with the latest release of `v3.0.0` .

We fixed many bugs, changed the **API** <br>
a little bit and improved performance.

This means that you might have to adapt <br>
your ***Weather Station Code*** if you created <br>
it using older `2.x.x` versions.

Either compare your code to the updated <br>
**WeatherStationDemo** or read the guide <br>
on how to **[Upgrade]**.

## Why A Library?

I realized that more and more the **Weather Station** <br>
was becoming a general framework for displaying <br>
data over **WiFi** to one of these pretty displays.

<br>

#### What Was Needed

However everyone would have different ways or <br>
sources for data and as such, the important part <br>
of the library would rather be the classes that <br>
fetch the data, than the main class.

<br>

#### Data Fetchers

In case you wrote a data fetcher that might be <br>
of interest to others and you would like it to be <br>
integrated in this library, simply contact me.

Otherwise you might also want to offer your code <br>
as extension library yourself and call it something <br>
like `ESP8266-Weather-Station-< Your Service >`

***We will gladly list it as third party library.***

# Installation

<br>

## Arduino IDE

### Setup

Make sure you use a version of the **Arduino IDE** <br>
which is supported by the **ESP8266** platform.

Please follow the **[Tutorial]** on our website.

<br>

### Libraries

Please install the following libraries:

- `ESP8266 Weather Station`
- `JSON Streaming Parser by Daniel Eichhorn`
- `ESP8266 OLED Driver for SSD1306 display by Daniel Eichhorn`

*Please use `v3.0.0+`*

##### How To

<kbd>**Sketch**</kbd> <br>
 › <kbd>**Include Library**</kbd> <br>
 › <kbd>**Manage Libraries**</kbd>

<br>

### Preparation

1. *[Create An API Key][API Key]* for **OpenWeatherMap**.

2. Open the demo.

<kbd>**File**</kbd> <br>
 › <kbd>**Examples**</kbd> <br>
 › <kbd>**ESP8266 Weather Station**</kbd> <br>
 › <kbd>**Weather Station Demo**</kbd>

3. Insert the **OpenWeatherMap API Key**.

4. Insert your **WiFi Credentials**.

5. Adjust the location according to **OpenWeatherMap**.

↳ `Zurich, CH`

6. Adjust the **UTC** offset.


<br>

<br>

## PlatformIO

### Setup

1. Choose one of the available IDE integration or the Atom based IDE.

2. Install libraries:
- `561`
- `562`
- `563`

With:

```sh
platformio lib install
```

3. Adapt the [`WeatherStationDemo.ino`][Example] file to your<br>
needs as show in the **Arduino** preparations.

# Modules

*Modules Available In This Library*

<br>

## Time Client

A simple class that uses the header <br>
date and time to set the clock.

<br>

## NTP Client

A **NTP** based time class written by `Fabrice Weinberg`.

<br>

## OpenWeatherMap Client

A **REST** client for the `OpenWeatherMap.com` <br>
service, providing weather information.

<br>

## Aeris Client

A client for the service provided by `aerisweather.com`.

*Fully functional initial version.*

After the [Wunderground Incident][Changelog] we first targeted <br>
**Aeris** before we settled with **OpenWeatherMap**.

*This code is **unmaintained** but will,* <br>
*for now, remain part of this library.*

<br>

## Thingspeak Client

Fetches data from **Thingspeak** which you might have <br>
collected with another sensor node and posted there.

<br>

## Astronomy

Algorithms to calculate current lunar phase and illumination.

<br>

## SunMoonCalc

A calculator for sun / moon properties <br>
for a given date, time and location.

*This implementation is port of a* ***Java*** <br>
*class by [T. Alonso Albi] from :es: **OAN**.*
