farmos-weather
Query weather data and forecasts for farm fields via the Agronomy module.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/brianppetty/farmos-weatherWhat This Skill Does
The farmos-weather skill acts as the primary interface between OpenClaw and the Agronomy module within your FarmOS environment. It provides real-time access to environmental data necessary for precision agriculture. The skill processes current conditions, detailed weather forecasts, accumulated Growing Degree Days (GDD), and actionable spray condition assessments. By bridging raw sensor data with the Agronomy module, it empowers users to make informed decisions regarding crop maintenance, field operations, and resource management based on hyper-local data from the 69 centralized fields in Indiana.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your environment, run the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/brianppetty/farmos-weather
Ensure your network has access to the API base at http://100.102.77.110:8012, as the skill relies on direct connectivity to the FarmOS weather service.
Use Cases
- Field Operations Planning: Evaluate whether current wind speeds and precipitation probabilities allow for safe chemical application.
- Crop Growth Tracking: Monitor accumulated GDD during the planting and growing season to predict development stages.
- Strategic Forecasting: Prepare for upcoming weather patterns, such as extreme heat or heavy rain, by reviewing 7-to-14-day forecasts.
- Performance Auditing: Review historical weather data to correlate past yield results with specific climate conditions experienced in the fields.
Example Prompts
- "What are the current wind and temperature conditions for field 42, and can we spray today?"
- "Show me the GDD accumulation for field 12 from May 1st to today."
- "Will there be any rain this week at our central Indiana farm site?"
Tips & Limitations
- Accuracy & Reliability: Always use specific field IDs for the most granular data. If the service returns an error or empty data, inform the user immediately; do not attempt to interpolate or guess the weather.
- Scope: This skill is strictly for data retrieval. Use the farmos-observations module to log physical damage or field changes resulting from weather events.
- GDD Reporting: When reporting GDD, always cite the date range used for the calculation to ensure clarity and auditability for farm managers.
