openweather plugin ?
-
@akbooer the openWeather plugin didn't work 'cause it's use Dark Weather instead of openWeather as the plugin name
Multi Provider Weather Station should work with openWeather but it's giving some error when installed in openLuup. I would need to dig a little bit more on that.

@DesT said in openweather plugin ?:
it's use Dark Weather instead of openWeather
I think that's meant to read "..it uses "Wunderground Weather" instead of "openWeather"

Hi @DesT
What is the error you get with Multi Provider Weather Station? I have not done a fresh install for a while with that, so would be interesting to know so I can make corrections if needed.Cheers Rene

I rolled my own (and put it in the AltAppStore) MetOffice Datapoint, but, alas for you, this only works for UK locations.
Looking at the AltAppStore, it’s curious that most weather apps begin with M / N / O. Not sure whether [pun intended] any of those there will still work for you?

@akbooer this looks great. Despite searching I can't find something as simple as a lookup for my nearest station ID.
Any suggestions?TIA

Yes, I was surprised. It turns out that there’s far fewer stations which record hourly data, which is what you need. I can’t remember now how I found the one I use, I’m not in front of my development system at this time.
The device panel on openLuup should give a nice brief text summary of current conditions.

Did you find what you needed in the end?
This query: (along with your API key)
datapoint.metoffice.gov.uk/public/data/val/wxobs/all/T/sitelist?key=...
Gives the relatively short list of stations (140 or so, IIRC) with hourly data, from which it's easy to pick the nearest.
I should build this link directly into the app...

OpenWeatherMap's API changes: Some time back OpenWeatherMap decided to change their API billing practices. The old "One Call API" arrangements (1,000 API calls per day free) have now ended.
You now have to provide your credit card details, so if you exceed the free 1,000 API calls per day you can be charged. The provided API keys don't work unless you provide these details. Returned error message:
{ "cod": 401, "message": "Invalid API key. Please see https://openweathermap.org/faq#error401 for more info." }
However, if you just want current weather with no forecasts, you can use the "weather" call:
https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?lat=%s&lon=%s&units=%s&lang=%s&appid=%s
It's possible the Multi Station Weather plugin could be modified to fall back to this call, if it fails on the first call. As suggested here.
In my case, I've hacked the MultiStationWeather plugin code to use the "weather" URL at all times, as I don't use forecasts.
