Could someone please share a valid response from the Loxone Weather Service

[Rob_in]

Hi,

Looking online I can find a few examples of utilities to emulate the Loxone Weather Service, but cannot actually find details of what the file format it returns is.

I already fetch and store forecast data from Wunderground regularly and would just like to code up something to format that into a response the Miniserver would correctly interpret as from weather.loxone.com.

By looking at the source from a couple of the utilities I tried reverse engineering the service and can almost get weather data into my Miniserver, but must have missed something in translation as my Miniserver doesn't quite see the data correctly. If I had a good response from the genuine Loxone service to compare to that would be super useful and hopefully would be able to see the error.

Does anyone have a valid response from Loxone's weather service they could please share? Doesn't matter what location, etc. just so long as it the format is valid.

Thanks in advance,

Robin

I don't have the genuine Loxone Weather Service, but use the Loxberry Weather4Loxone plugin. 

https://wiki.loxberry.de/plugins/weather4loxone/start

The emulator appears to successfully copy the Loxone format. The emulator serves the file from port :6066/forecast/ (not sure whether that's relevant). I don't have a name for the actual file served.

I use a script to get wx data from open openweathermap.org and write it out in Loxone weather server format. Then I use my local DNS server to provide a local IP address when the mini server looks for weather.loxone.com, and I serve the file generated by the script.

The script has references top DARKSKY since the original used that service, but now it uses openweathermap.org API.

This is the request string from the mini server:

192.168.0.11 - - [17/Feb/2024:10:07:56 +0100] "GET /forecast/?user=loxone_50XXXXXXXF&coord=-11.5430,45.9010&asl=897&format=1&new_api=1 HTTP/1.1" 200 14771

Script and output attached.

Hello! Im trying to enable weather service for my Miniserver gen2 (15.6.5.6) and I've created simple php file on my vps for it.
443/80/6066 ports are on and working. XML looks valid. Self signed ssl cert created.
On miniserver I see "SSL Init Error" for weather.loxonecloud.com request (to my own server) - this is something new in latest firmware or im missing something?
Thanks!

In case it's any help the  loxberry weather4loxone plugin serves the XML on port 6066 via HTTP (no TLS)

Note also that plugin captures the DNS query for weather.loxone.com to point to its own IP, not weather.loxonecloud.com (i.e. no 'cloud' in the domain name)

It appears  http://weather.loxone.com:6066/  talks  HTTP (no SSL)

Yeah, that's what I've expected but looks like something moving out of simple http requests...

I’m getting the same SSL init error since a few weeks, I think with the latest update the Miniserver makes more strict HTTPS requests to weather.loxonecloud.com, and a self signed certificate won’t work. I‘m suprised they didn’t do this earlier, since the prices are batshit crazy.

My setup (local server acting as loxone weather server) is still working with config version 16 and I believe the requests are http, not https. Maybe because my miniserver is Gen1, and does not support https requests???

Correct.

Miniserver 1 -> plugin will continue to work

They updated also the Loxberry Wiki.... :_(
