I have created some virtual devices which collect temperature (among other things) from an old weather station.
Is there any way I can access the Defaults.xml from my module to determine whether to convert the data to Fahrenheit for display?

You'd better create an option in module settings, like OpenWeather module does.

So it is not possible to create virtual devices that obey the system defaults? It doesn't make much sense to have multiple temperature unit settings for each module.

Defaults.xml is intended for z-wave subsystem, which operates at a lower level than JS automation and virtual devices.

But you may still load value from Defaults.xml if you want it that bad. To do so, first make a symlink to config directory inside automation (because fs.load() is restricted to work only under automation folder): then use the following code to load value:

Thanks pofs. That will solve my problem.
Are there any plans to implement full locale support in the automation layer?
