Weatherbit

Utilize Mapped's Weatherbit connector to create a virtual weather station on top of each of your buildings. With this connector, you can receive current weather data for your building's location such as air temperature, rainfall, humidity percentage, wind speed, pressure and solar radiation.

Use Cases

Some possible use cases for weather data include:

• Reactive air conditioning adjustments based on real outside temperature data
• Alerting based on rainy conditions at your location
• Adjusting indoor air quality strategies based on humidity
• Predicting occupancy based on weather at the office
• Correlating energy use with spikes in cold or heat

Configuration

There are no auth requirements for the Weatherbit Connector.

You may select what unit system you would like to use for temperature and other measurements when configuring this connector. The options are: Metric, Imperial, and Scientific. When selected, the following points will utilize the following units:

Point	Metric Unit	Imperial Unit	Scientific Unit
DewpointSensor	DEG_C	DEG_F	K
PrecipitationSensor	MilliM-PER-HR	IN3-PER-HR	MilliM-PER-HR
RelativeHumiditySensor	PERCENT_RH	PERCENT_RH	PERCENT_RH
SeaLevelAirPressureSensor	MilliBAR	MilliBAR	MilliBAR
SnowAccumulationSensor	MilliM-PER-HR	IN3-PER-HR	MilliM-PER-HR
SolarIrradianceSensor	W-PER-M2	W-PER-M2	W-PER-M2
WindDirectionSensor	DEG	DEG	DEG
WindSpeedSensor	Degree	Degree	Degree

Sample Code

To access data from the Weatherbit Connector, once it's enabled, you'll can make a call to things and filter it for "Weather_Station". If you have multiple buildings with Weatherbit set up, you'll likely want to retrieve data for each individual Weather Station, which is easiest by just filtering by the specific Weather Station's ID:

}

If you're unsure what the unit of measure is for each value, include the unit field under points:
