[APP][Pro][Cloud] KNMI

I was hoping that the answer would be “find a more reliable weather source”.
My problems with Weerlive:

  • multiple uptime issues. My heating is linked to the latest KNMi temperature, but it makes no sense when the data is 7 hours old.
  • inconsistant rain forecast. I have mailed Weerlive a few times with examples about this, but no answers (disappointing).

There was a power outage at KNMI. Source [Nu.nl](KNMI-metingen sinds woensdagochtend niet beschikbaar door stroomstoring https://www.nu.nl/binnenland/6348152/knmi-metingen-sinds-woensdagochtend-niet-beschikbaar-door-stroomstoring.html)

Weerlive is updating on time but it seem it get not the real data.
“05-03-2025 22:58:03”

KNMI is 30 minutes behind with updates.

Now I see the last post. :wink:

Same here, Im about to switch to a ‘real’. outdoor temp. sensor…

I bought an Ecowitt HP2553 last week, which updates all garden weather data every 15 seconds. Works on solar with a battery as backup. There is also a Homey app for it.
Initial results are good.
Send me a PM if you want to know more.

There will probably be various reasons why KNMI data is not always up to date, but it happened to me too often for reliable control of my heating in the house.

Bit to costly, I’ll probably put up some Sonoff sensors here and there… Than valc the avarage of that.
Now do the same with knmi temp and homey weather + check if either is invalid…

Hi, my KNMI app gives me a warning when below zero temperatures are expected for today or tomorrow. Since a few months it keeps warning me when those temperatures are expected. This can add up to 20 warnings a day. I get a warning via whatsapp which can become very annoying.

To be clear, I have 2.flows: one for expectations today and one for tomorrow.

Is there some spec I missed or can I fix this in another way?

Show us the flow instead of the results, like, what do you use as a trigger ? Incoming data from KNMI the temp is going to be below zero ?

You will get a msg each time the KNMI app udates its data.

For example, I do this :



Goede dag, ik zie bij de KNMI apps geen kaarten. Doe ik iets verkeerds?

Je moet eerst een knmi apparaat aanmaken.

Knmi offline. :smiling_face_with_tear:

Not here…

Try to restart the app when is does that.
I created a flow for it…

Set off the notifications. It is a bug :smiling_face_with_tear:

I actually check if it’s able to get new data. On error I restart the app…

Thanx

Hi all,
I’m noticing that the data in the app refreshes pretty late. At this moment, the last update for data is still 8:18, it’s almost 11:00 now.
I have a flow that automatically requests new data every half hour and posts this is in a Google sheets, since I was assuming something was sketchy.
For some reason, when I manually run the flow, there’s always new data available. Does anyone recognize this behaviour? Is something wrong with the data or weerlive?

When data is received the location name is NULL, while the device created has my local town. Causing - I guess - the average temperature is used instead of my local. Because, looking at the KNMI app on IOS a different temperature is shown for my home town.

I like a And flow card to check if the max temperature of that day is greater than a value. Now there is only a check if the max temperature is changed. But I like to check in the morning if the maximum temperature is above a certain level so I leave the curtains closed (or close screens)…

@Vierlijner Then you can use a Logic card

AND Max temp (card) is bigger then. …

Hi, I tried to install the KNMI app, but I’m missing a lot of cards, in the IF (als) section these 3 cards are available

If I select the AND (EN) I can’t even find the KNMI app itself.
I don’t see the app in the Dashboards either.
Tried to restart the app and homey, tried to reinstall, all with no results.
Can some one help me or redirect me in the right way? I did try to search on it first, but couldn’t find the right solution.
Thanks in advance
