pyAstroWeatherIO

Wrapper for the 7Timer and MET Norway Weather REST API. Designed to work with Home Assistant and the custom AstroWeather integration.

This module communicates with the API endpoint of 7Timer (documentation) and MET Norway Weather (documentation). It retrieves current weather data for astronomical observations:

In addition to the weather data, some calculations for the astronomical twilight and Moon setting, rising and phase are implemented. They indicate the darkness you can expect the upcoming night.

A new addition is an experimental mode that attempts to approximate the calculation of the lifted index, seeing and atmospheric transparency using only Met.no weather data.

Functions

The module exposes the following function:

astroweather = AstroWeather(
        session,
        latitude,
        longitude,
        elevation,
        timezone_info,
        cloudcover_weight,
        cloudcover_high_weakening,
        cloudcover_medium_weakening,
        cloudcover_low_weakening,
        seeing_weight,
        transparency_weight,
        calm_weight,
        uptonight_path,
        experimental_features,
    )

astroweather.get_location_data

astroweather.get_hourly_forecast

This will return a handle to the AstroWeather class and open the connection.

Setup

pip3 install .
