Virtual weather station
The virtual weather station permits access to the measured values from a remotely connected weather station.
Settings
Parameter
- Summer mode/winter mode switchover value: threshold value for the recognition of a change of season.
Pressing the Linked with… button opens a dialogue in which the remote weather station can be linked with this module.
Threshold switch
Threshold switches can be defined in relation to the individual values. There is an option in the Scene dialogue (see below) to call scenes via the threshold switches. Hence, for example, a scene can be created that drives all blinds upwards. The 1st threshold switch for the wind velocity switches on at 6.0 m/s (hysteresis 1 m/s). The switch-on delay of 6 seconds ensures that short storm gusts are suppressed. An event is created in the Scenes dialogue that calls the appropriate scene when the threshold switch is tripped and drives the shutters upwards as a result.
Parameter
- Temperature: threshold value for the temperature.
- Wind speed 1,
Wind speed 2,
Wind speed 3: threshold values for the wind velocity. - Brightness east,
Brightness south,
Brightness west: threshold values for the brightness. - Twilight: threshold value for the twilight.
- Precipitation: threshold value for rainfall.
- Relative air humidity: threshold value for the relative humidity.
Scenes
Pressing the New button in the Scenes menu opens a dialogue in which the rising and falling edges of the threshold switches can be used to call a scene. To do this the scene must have been created beforehand.

Commands
- Force values on/off: activates or deactivates the forcing of the values. The value entered can be written to the PLC by pressing the Write down button.
State
- Temperature: current outside temperature.
- Wind speed: momentary wind velocity.
- Brightness east: brightness on the east side.
- Brightness south: brightness on the south side.
- Brightness west: brightness on the west side.
- Twilight: indicates the daylight level.
- Precipitation: Indicates rainfall.
- Relative air humidity: measured relative air humidity.
- Damped temperature: average temperatures measured over the course of the day.
- Season: indicates the season in relation to the damped temperature.
State PLC Module
- Execution State: shows if the module is running or stopped.
- Error: in case of an error, the error code and the error parameter are displayed in this box.
- Start/Stop: starts/stops the module.
