SRG Message: The Service is temporarily unavailable

[baerengraben]

It may happen that SRG takes the service out of service for a short time (probably for maintenance). Then the following error will be reported by SRG:

2021-01-18 04:33:33.411 - error: swiss-weather-api.0 (12557) Response has announced an error: The Service is temporarily unavailable

Currently, only the date can be used to see how up-to-date the data is. But we should include this info as a status object in ioBroker. Idea:
If weather info is older than the "poll interval", a status "data outdated" should be set to true.

I guess the API is unavailable again. At least I'm not getting any data since yesterday.

There are two other things you can (and probably should) do:

• The state info.connection should always report whether the connection to the service is ok or not. Like this, the icon next to the adapter instance will be yellow instead of green.
• every state has also a quality information (simply called q) you may set all states' quality to a meaningful value (see developer documentation for more details)

Thanks for these tips :)

...And yes, currently the service does not provide any data right now :(

Still no data.... this makes this adapter unfortunately unusable, as SRG-SSR is once again unreliable

[baerengraben]

Please use the new Adapter Version 0.9.0. This Version uses the new SRF Weather API (https://developer.srgssr.ch/apis/srf-weather).

As I can see today, the old weather API (https://developer.srgssr.ch/apis/weather-api-commercial) is not available (again). But the new SRF Weather API (with Freemium subscription) is working. So i guess it is best to change to Version > 0.9.0 as quick as possible... With the new API you even get more Datapoints.

Partly resolved with version 0.9.1.

• Adapter Info State is handled now.
• q Infos for each datapoint still not available

[baerengraben]

instead of generating a q for each data point, with Version 0.9.4 I added the following data points, which inform about the status of the adapter:

• swiss-weather-api.0.info.connection
• swiss-weather-api.0.info.lastrun
