SignalK DMI plugin
part of MaracaiboA SignalK plugin that puts DMI's free Danish weather and marine observations on the boat's data bus.
The Danish Meteorological Institute gives its data away for free; this plugin puts it where a boat can use it — on the SignalK bus. It started as pure research: survey every free DMI dataset relevant to a vessel before writing a line of code. The plugin now publishes outside conditions (temperature, dew point, pressure, humidity, visibility, cloud cover, precipitation), marine values from the nearest model cell — honestly flagged as nearby, not at-boat — and official met warnings when one is live, with an Open-Meteo fallback when DMI’s marine track runs empty.
It runs on Maracaibo’s SignalK server today, and the repo was deliberately prepared for strangers: internal docs stripped from the public surface, history squashed to a clean root, documentation made SignalK-generic rather than about my boat. Source: github.com/dennismilton/signalk-dmi. The npm/Appstore release is the one step still pending.
A first version of this page — the wording will get another pass.
