Hi. Since a couple of days I’m getting this error: Invalid API key. Please see [Frequently Asked Questions - OpenWeatherMap](https://openweathermap.org/faq#error401) for more info. I’ve already created a new API key, but doesn’t fix the issue. Any thoughts? ---

Re-adding the devices fixed the issue. ---

I created an account today and entered my credit card details, but I still can’t add the device. I get a Device Setup Error saying I need to enter a valid code. I’ve already generated a new key. ---

It can take some time until the key is active. But within a hour it should work. ---

How can I check which location is being used in the app? The flow displays Amsterdam as the location, while the device shows another location (Biddinghuizen), but both locations are incorrect. ![afbeelding](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/b/8b325a300c39813e0d3aa17c0eaa0b7166859901.png) ![afbeelding](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/3/53572e3a280974d8d2e1e5f5d5f1373302252dff.png) ---

The tool tip only shows examples for the tags. You will see the correct values only if you print the tags into the timeline (if the flow is started by a capability change. The coordinates in device settings sre the ones from the selected location/city at pairing. If you did not select a city, the Homey coordinates are used. ---

Hello, I don’t really understand how this works!!! Is there a manual to install and use this application? I just want homey to know if it has rained in the afternoon so that my watering programmer can trigger a watering session in the evening (or not if it has rained) … ---

google translate 😉 Good afternoon, First of all, thanks for making this app. I am new to Homey (with the result that I let myself sleep along) and have tested a few things, such as the Belgian KMI app, but that was way off. I am playing around with this app now and can compare the data with real data from my weather station. In my test setup I also have two weather day summaries. However, this data differs from the daily forecast and, by extension, from the hourly forecast. I read that the purpose of the weather daily summary is historical data and up to 4 days ahead, is this the reason that the data also differs? In attachment, for convenience, my two flows. One when I wake up and one when I give a whatsapp command. The bottom data in the last message comes from weather daily summary. ![weerbericht](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/6/064460162c30cfc751f15460870f057799b19167.png) ![weerberichtEn](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/e/9e854b384806e7a3a04f32cf00694a5a72f837a7.png) ---

Hi, the historical data can be used to check the amount of rain for last day for example, to make a watering flow. You can use also the forcast data from this device, but I think it’s better to create a daily forecast device (+1 day ahead). I haven’t compared the data yet. About data itself: OWM provides data for many countries. The data itself comes from various weather services. It depends on your country. But I haven’t details about it, you have to ask OWM directly if you need to know 🙂 ---

I have exactly the same issue. Generated a new code, I waited more than 1 hour, but still getting the same error. I have read the first posts. Are there other reasons why it doesn’t work? ---

It can take a while until the key gets active. You also added a subscription (credit card)? ---

It should be active within an hour. You can also try OWM API with your browser just to be sure you inserted the correct key. ```auto https://api.openweathermap.org/data/3.0/onecall?lat=33.44&lon=-94.04&exclude=hourly,daily&appid={API key} ``` ---

Being a newbee to Homey, I tried to setup the devices for OpenWeather for current weather and forecasts. Current weather works well with tha API key, but I didn’t suceed in setting up the forecasts. Which devices I have to use in OpenWeatherApp in Homey (I tried hourly and daily forecasts, but it didn’t work)? It says that the forecasts require a separate subscription. I only have the free access API Key which (according to OpenWeather website) includes “Current Weather API, 3-hour forecast for 5 days API)”. Thx ---

I did that already - the first device does not seem to work (requires separate subscription). The child devices can sucessfully be set up, but they provide no data (after a few minutes it says “device not available. The location is not available”). I have to use device 8. in the OpenWeather App for the free calls to receive the current weather, although this doesn’t work to set up child devices for the forecasts. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/3/83bd6db7c4dcfa221ea68d75e6f212e9126a8f2a.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/b/5b9830580751c9252ac7a138e165a1dc7f57f975.jpeg) [Previous page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-openweather/61482.md?page=21) [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-openweather/61482.md?page=23)
