Automate GRIB Downloads - st599 - 2018-02-06
Hi,
First of all, congratulations on a superb open source project. I have some questions if I may, I've split them across multiple topics so that the title matches.
We run a club yacht and are interested in using OpenPlotter on a Raspberry pi 3.
We would like to automate the download of GRIB files, preferably from EMCWF (NOAA is not as good in our region).
Is it possible to somehow detect of there is a network connection and request the relevant area? Then delete files older than a week?

Hi Simon, you can do that with node-red sending an automated email to saildocs. I have it set up to save the grib (GFS) to dropbox so opencpn always has the latest grib when it is run. I'll post the node-red flow at some point if anyone is interested.

There is an openplotter tool in development: https://github.com/sailoog/openplotter/issues/171

Many Thanks
Looking a Git, one additional request I have would be as well as:
Hourly
Daily
Would it be possible to have:
"When an IP Connection occurs"
We'd be using Marina WiFi, which would not be available all the time.

I'd be interested to see it. I've never used NodeRED, but am interested in having a play with it.
Could be useful for automating some things on the boat.

Node-red is just wonderful :
Try this , go to https://fred.sensetecnic.com/ and make an account. Then copy the code below and press control I to insert, paste the code in. Then you'll need to dig in and fill in email passwords and dropbox stuff then it will send you a grib 4 times a day. Really handy
Code:
