New Module: Weather Log
under review
Florian Altmann
Description:
We’ve noticed with several customers that the current DailyLog fields for Temperature and Weather Condition are often insufficient. These fields are frequently hidden and replaced by custom ones.
Proposed Idea:
Introduce a dedicated WeatherLog module that can be configured per project, using its own data object. Suggested fields include:
-Timestamp (date and time)
-Temperature
-Condition
-Humidity
-Rain Amount
-Wind
… (depending on what the weather service provides)
Example API:
Automation Idea:
The WeatherLog module should allow configuration of automated entries — e.g., 1 to 3 times per day at defined times.
A scheduled job would call the weather service and store the current data automatically.
Prerequisite: Project GPS location must be defined.
This would allow weather data to be automatically logged (e.g., morning, noon, evening) for each project.
In the DailyLog Report, the relevant WeatherLog entries could then be joined in for the day (as a list of weather logs).
Additional Improvements:
-Add a weather condition icon that can be displayed in reports and dashboards (predefined set).
- Include translations for all weather conditions in all supported languages, also in reports
- For new systems, show the WeatherLog module by default and hide the existing temperature/weather fields on DailyLog.

I think minimum four Log's per day are needed.
- Morning
- Noon
- Evening
- Night (important for the night shift)

An interface option is also needed that a weather station on site can deliver data to this module.
