Dew Heater Module

[swaldick]

I have installed and have begun to test the Sky Dew heater control module on a RPi5. I first began using a DHT22 sensor. Everything seems to work and respond to all my changes and scenarios. For my next scenario I tested the module using the open weather api method. This also seems to be working properly in responding to everything but my choice of measurement. I have chosen Imperial from the last tab (OpenWeather) in the module. In my allsky settings, I have also set Imperial as the chosen temperature units. Is there somewhere else the module may be setting the unit of choice? I have looked at the "extra files" in the overlay folder and examined both the allskydew.json and the openweather.json files as they are being created. All seems well except the data doesn't match. It seems the allskydew figures are treating the returned openweather values as Celsius then calculating to arrive at Fahrenheit from the reported numbers. As an example, it is roughly 8 degrees Fahrenheit this evening in Denver, CO. In the openweather.json file all the values appear correct or accurate enough. In the allskydew.json for this example the "AS_DEWCONTROLAMBIENT" value equals 46.4. So in summary it looks like openweather is returning a Fahrenheit value of 8 and that value is then being used incorrectly as a metric (Celsius) value that is landing in allskydew.json file as 46.4. I am sure I am missing something obvious! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like a bug

I'll move this to the modules repo and open an issue for it, I'll investigate at the weekend
