Hi, Joe 1. Sunrise and sunset are not stored anywhere and, instead, are calculated on the fly. If they were cached, you'd have to arrange for something to refresh them every day. The added complexity isn't worth it.
2. The observation variables are available by just binding to an appropriate event. Take a look at StdPrint (in engine.py), probably the simplest of the services. It binds to NEW_LOOP_PACKET and NEW_ARCHIVE_RECORD and makes use of them. Hope this helps. -tk On Sun, Dec 18, 2016 at 10:19 AM, jmltech <[email protected]> wrote: > I have been playing around writing a new service to collect some home > automation temperature and humidity readings.
