Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

thing-it-weather

NPM NPM

Device Plugins for [thing-it-node] and thing-it.com for weather via the (http://openweathermap.org) weather service.

User Interface

This example shows the weather device UI together with the UI of a Z-Wave indoor sensor for temperature, humidity, and light in a wine cellar. It allows to see how outside weather influences the wine cellar currently.

Usages

Dashboarding capabilities at thing-it.com allow to generate charts that correlate outside weather data with any other sensor or actor. With that combination a variety of interesting analytical questions can be answered:

  • What is the response of a room to the outside temperature? - With an ambient sensor like the one used above.
  • How does electricity usage get influenced by weather? - With the weather device and an energy meter.
  • How does soil moisture correlate to outside circumstances? - Combining weather and soil sensors.

You can also trigger action based on weather data:

  • Send an alert to a user if the temperature is below freezing.
  • Turn on the irrigation if it hasn't rained for more than 48h.
  • Start a process to check the status of an outdoor device that was subject to very high heat.

Configuration

Configure the following parameters via [thing-it] Mobile or thing-it.com.

  • City Name: The name of the city the weather should be retrieved for. Examples are 'Sydney' and 'Frankfurt am Main'.
  • Country Code: The country code (such as 'au' and 'de') for the country the city is in.
  • Language Code: The language code (such as 'en', 'de') for the result.
  • Units: Either 'metric' or 'imperial', default is 'metric'
  • Update Frequency Seconds: Time in seconds until [thing-it] requests the next weather update. This should typically be more than 10 minutes, so a value of 600 or higher.
  • Open Weather Map Key: They key you get after registering at (http://openweathermap.org).
