Seeing wind speed on system status page

I made a very small change in the asystemstatus.asp, I like to see just how fast the wind is going. Even though I am in US, I prefer metric but wind returns the unit you are using. I don't know why I care about wind under 1km, maybe just to see if the wind sensor is working good. Always back up any code changed

Old code:

if(wind !== null) {
if(wind < 8.0)
ret += "Calm";
else
ret += "Wind";
}

New code:

if(wind !== null) {
if(wind <= 0.0)
ret += "Calm";
else if (wind >= 0.1 && wind <= 0.9)
ret += wind.toFixed(1) + "km/hr";
else
ret += wind.toFixed(0) + "km/hr";
}

OR this might be better for you

if(wind !== null) {
if(wind <= 0.0)
ret += "Calm";
else
ret += wind.toFixed(0) + "km/hr";


}

Head slapper :-) I'll add it to the standard System Status in V8. But what units?

ACP-1345 - Actual wind speed on System Status

Well the units are set by the weather system, a so how would you know, maybe the km/hr or miles/hr is not needed. Most of the planet is metric, it is just the US that does not multiply or divide by 10. LOL

The ACP weather interface expects knots. The Boltwood always produces km/hr through its scripting interface, regardless of its display setting (according to the Boltwood doc). The weather servers (e.g. CloudSensor-II.wsc) are expected to arrange to convert from their units (e.g. km/hr) to knots for input to ACP. It's just my convention at the interface level.

Bob I don't see this on my UI has this been implemented? I'd like to see this in the main display not down the page someplace, near the weather safe/unsafe would be ideal.

Not yet. I just saw this a week ago (May 7). I have started the final push on ACP Expert 8. It may make it in.

FYI you need to multiply wind by 1.852 to convert Knots to km/hr. ACP's weather interface expects Knots:

Attachment 6052

Done, though I used 0.5 knots as the "calm" threshold. That's a light wind and "Calm" on the Beaufort scale (actually < 0.6 but...).
