/* Step 1: Install the node in your Node-RED environment. Open your Node-RED user directory (typically ~/.node-red) in your terminal and run: */ // npm install node-red-node-openweathermap /* Step 2: Restart Node-RED to load the new nodes (if it was running). */ // node-red /* Step 3: In the Node-RED editor (usually accessible at http://localhost:1880), drag an "OpenWeatherMap Query" node from the palette onto the canvas. Double-click the node to configure it, providing your OpenWeatherMap API Key (obtained from openweathermap.org/appid). Step 4: To trigger the 'OpenWeatherMap Query' node and fetch current weather for a specific location, inject a message (e.g., using an 'Inject' node) with the following structure: */ const msg_by_city = { payload: {}, location: { city: "London", country: "UK" } }; // Alternatively, you can specify location using latitude and longitude: const msg_by_coords = { payload: {}, location: { lat: 51.5074, lon: 0.1278 } }; /* The 'OpenWeatherMap Query' node will then output a message (msg.payload) containing detailed weather data, similar to the following: { "description": "light rain", "weather": "Rain", "icon": "10d", "id": 500, "tempc": 15.2, "tempk": 288.35, "humidity": 87, "windspeed": 2.1, "winddirection": 240, "location": "London", "rain": 0.5, "lat": 51.5074, "lon": 0.1278, "city": "London", "country": "UK", "time": 1678886400, // example epoch timestamp "data": { /* full JSON from OpenWeatherMap API */ } // full JSON from OpenWeatherMap API } */
