Die Dokumentation dieser Integration wird von ihrem Autor geschrieben und ist bisher nur auf Englisch verfügbar.

Unofficial connector, not affiliated with Buienradar. It makes Buienradar the weather provider of Gladys for the Netherlands and Belgium, and adds what Buienradar is known for: the rain of the next two hours, in 5-minute steps. No account, no key, nothing to enter. Data: Buienradar.nl; Buienradar and its data are © Buienradar / RTL.

What you get​

SurfaceContent
Weather of Gladysthe current weather of the nearest Buienradar station (temperature, feels-like, humidity, pressure, wind and gusts, visibility, dew point, sunrise and sunset) and the 5-day forecast, for the weather widget and the chat
Rain radarthe Buienradar radar maps of the Netherlands and of Belgium, in the weather widget
Scene triggersrain expected within 5 minutes to 2 hours (any rain, moderate or heavy), rain stopped
Scene actionrain in the next 2 hours of a house: dry or not, minutes until the rain, peak, total, a summary
Dashboard widgetRain next 2 hours: next rain, peak, total and a bar every 5 minutes

Once installed, the integration takes precedence over the OpenWeather service built into Gladys. The weather widget can also pick it explicitly.

Coverage​

  • Weather: the 40 or so stations Buienradar publishes are all in the Netherlands. A house up to 80 km from one of them gets its weather (the whole country, northern Belgium, the German border). Farther away, Gladys is told the location is outside the coverage and uses its next provider.
  • Rain forecast and radar: the Netherlands and Belgium.
  • Buienradar writes its descriptions in Dutch only: the conditions of Gladys (sunny, cloudy, rain, snow…) are read from Buienradar's icons, so they show in your language.

Setup​

  1. Install the integration from the Gladys catalog (Gladys 5.1 or newer) and accept the access to the location of your houses: the rain triggers, the scene action and the widget watch them.
  2. Check that your house is placed on the map (Settings → Houses).
  3. In the Configuration screen, click Test Buienradar: the message names the station used for each house and its rain forecast.
  4. Put the Rain next 2 hours widget on a dashboard. For the radar, turn on the "provider images" option of the weather widget.

Configuration​

  • Language of the scene texts (English by default) — the summaries sent to the scenes, in English, French or Dutch.
  • Rain check interval (5 minutes by default, 5 at least) — how often the rain forecast of each house is read for the triggers. Buienradar updates it every 5 minutes.
  • Rain radar in the weather widget (on by default).

Scenes​

  • Rain expected (Buienradar): pick Rain within (5, 10, 15 or 30 minutes, 1 or 2 hours) and the minimum intensity: any rain (from 0.1 mm/h), moderate (2.5 mm/h) or heavy (10 mm/h). Optional: the exact name of the house. The scene runs once per rain episode, when the radar forecast first shows that rain within that time, not at every check. Variables: house, starts_in (minutes), start_time (local "14:35"), max_intensity (mm/h), total_mm and summary.
  • Rain stopped (Buienradar): it was raining at the house and the radar now shows at least 15 dry minutes. Variables: house, next_rain_in (empty when the next 2 hours are dry) and summary.

Nothing fires at startup: the first check only learns what is going on.

The action Buienradar rain in the next 2 hours (field house, empty for the first located house) gives dry, raining, minutes_until_rain, rain_time, minutes_until_dry, max_intensity, total_mm and summary, for a message or a condition that follows.

Examples: rain within 15 minutes → close the roof window and send "Bring in the laundry: {{triggerEvent.data.summary}}"; every morning at 7:30, send the summary of the action before leaving for school.

How often Buienradar is read​

  • The weather feed: at most once every 10 minutes (Buienradar refreshes it every 10 minutes), only when Gladys asks for the weather.
  • The rain forecast: once per house every 5 minutes (the option), shared with the widget and the scene action.
  • The radar maps: only when the weather widget shows them, at most every 5 minutes.

Troubleshooting​

  • "Outside the Buienradar coverage": the location is more than 80 km from a Buienradar station; Gladys takes the weather from its next provider.
  • No rain trigger: the house needs a location in Gladys, in the Netherlands or Belgium; the status of the integration and the Test Buienradar button tell which houses are watched.
  • "Buienradar does not answer": the last weather stays served for an hour; everything comes back by itself.
  • Logs: the integration's log level is set with the LOG_LEVEL variable.

Privacy​

The weather feed and the radar maps are the same for everyone: no location is sent to get them. The rain forecast is asked for the coordinates of each house rounded to 2 decimals (about 1 km).

Data and terms of use​

The data comes from Buienradar.nl. Buienradar's terms allow non-commercial use with attribution: the source credited as buienradar.nl with a link to www.buienradar.nl. This free, non-commercial connector shows "Data: Buienradar.nl" in the widget, the radar labels and the configuration screen. Keep your own use non-commercial too (no paid service built on it).

So installierst du Buienradar in Gladys​

  1. Öffne in Gladys Integrationen: Buienradar erscheint im Katalog neben den nativen Integrationen, mit einem Community-Badge.
  2. Klicke auf Installieren. Gladys lädt das Docker-Image (ghcr.io/lm1lc3n7/gladys-buienradar:0.1.1) herunter, startet es in einer vom Kern isolierten Sandbox und erzeugt die Oberfläche der Integration (Geräte, Erkennung und Konfiguration).
  3. Öffne den Bildschirm Konfiguration der Integration, fülle die Einstellungen aus und speichere.
  4. Du kannst sie auch direkt über die URL ihres Repositorys installieren: https://github.com/LM1LC3N7/gladys-buienradar.

Buienradar benötigt Gladys >=5.1.0. Der Katalog in Gladys wird stündlich aktualisiert, eine neue Version ist also spätestens eine Stunde nach ihrer Veröffentlichung verfügbar.

Du nutzt Gladys noch nicht? Es ist kostenlos und Open Source: folge der Installationsanleitung, um loszulegen.

Über externe Integrationen​

Buienradar ist eine externe Integration: eine Community-Integration, die als Docker-Container verpackt und auf GitHub veröffentlicht wird. Gladys installiert sie mit einem Klick und führt sie in einer vom Kern isolierten Sandbox aus. Sie wird von LM1LC3N7 veröffentlicht und gepflegt, nicht vom Gladys-Kernteam.
