Hi ronnie Wel sure … but it worked for years with no issue. Also … i do not make my api calls that much ( its on 10 minutes actually ). My sunscreen FLOW checks the data every 10 secconds but inot only for windgusts but also for rain … sun position etc etc . That why the jnterval is higher in the FLOW that uses wind data So it should not matter homey is checking a variable that refreshes every 10 minutes many more times …. It just means the fliw breaks every 10 secconds because that 10 MINUTE data is not being received. ---

Yes, that’s ok this way. I thought you are calling the API that much. If you get the error again, you can send me a diagnostics report. Perhaps I can see some details. But I think it’s just a http connection error, but let’s hope the log has some details. ---

It’s a network timeout. Are you using the device tokens in your flows? And these tokens are not available if the device is unavailable (with error message)? ---

Wel i use a variable i think ( not at computer atm ) With an avarage of 3 windusts calcutaled from 3 different apps … because all give different outcomes 🤷😬 when the app is down no app card can be used and the avarage is not calculated either because it does not find the data of your app A network timeout froM my side u mean ? ---

Ok, so if the device is unavailable, the flow cards are not available. Ihave no quick fix for that. Not to show a message for an unavailable device would mean a user can’t see that something is wrong. The data just would not update. The app get’s a timeout. You don’t know where it happens. Could be that the server is too slow or something is blocked on way there. The app itself doesn’t use a timeout, so it’s a default timeout, I think around 60sec (just a guess). I will check if I can add additional information to the error message… ---

I added a logging for the technical error message. The device still get unavailable on timeout error, but I want to know the error details. If you updated to test version and the error comes again, please send me another report.

Hi, I hope someone can help me. What I would like is that at 21:00 we look at how many mm of rain have fallen in the past 24 hours. So from 21:00 the day before until 21:00 now. I don’t know which device to choose from OpenWeather and how best to set this up. Would someone like to help me get started what exactly to set? Thanks in advance. Erik ---

You can use the daily summary: ![grafik](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/4/24df69f4c3dceeff6e261383ab692fdcdd1ed961.png) But it’s only daily. You can set an offset in days. 0=today. -1=yesterday. So you can check the amount of rain for today in the evening. But not for some hours across two days. ---

When setting up Openweather 1.8.3 on Homey Pro (early 2019) as a new user, it is not possible to select OneCall 4.0. It is not there because the option is missing. This file might be the source of the problem: [homey.openweathermap/drivers/owmOnecallCurrent/pair/city\_geocode.html at master · RonnyWinkler/homey.openweathermap · GitHub](https://github.com/RonnyWinkler/homey.openweathermap/blob/master/drivers/owmOnecallCurrent/pair/city_geocode.html) . I can add the API-key using OneCall 3.0. When i want to adjust the settings to “OneCall 4.0” it gives me an error: “Invalid\_setting\_type”. ---

Thanks for the hint. Yes, the 4.0 item was missing there. It’s added now with **test version 1.8.4.** It would be nice if you could test and confirm that it’s ok now.

I removed the openweather app, installed your 1.8.4 test version, and confirm that: - I can select OneCall 4.0. - Am able to succesfully use the API-key from openweather. - The app receives weather data from openweather. ---

Small bug in the **Daily Summary** device: `forecast_time` shows a date one day earlier than the day it actually fetched. I’m in America/Los\_Angeles (UTC-7). Offset 0 shows yesterday’s date, offset 1 shows today’s. The forecast data itself is correct, it’s only the displayed date that’s wrong. Cause is in `drivers/owmOnecallDailySummary/device.js`, line 270 on master (v1.8.4): ```js let date = new Date(data.date).toLocaleString('en-US', { ..., timeZone: tz, ... }); ``` `data.date` from the `day_summary` endpoint is a bare date string like `"2026-09-01"`. JavaScript parses a date-only ISO string as midnight **UTC** , so rendering that instant back in a negative-offset zone lands on the previous evening: ```auto $ node -e 'console.log(new Date("2026-09-01").toLocaleString("en-US", {timeZone:"America/Los_Angeles",day:"2-digit",month:"2-digit",year:"numeric"}))' 08/31/2026 ``` `getOnecallDailySummaryURL()` in `lib/owm_api.js` is correct, it derives the target date from the Homey timezone, so the right day is being requested. Only the display is off. At UTC+0 or east of it, midnight UTC renders as the same calendar day, which is probably why this hasn’t come up before. The other drivers aren’t affected, since they format a real unix `dt` value rather than a date string. Parsing as local time would fix it: ```js let date = new Date(data.date + "T00:00:00").toLocaleString('en-US', { ... }); ``` I would have opened a GitHub issue but Issues are disabled on the repo, so posting here instead. ---

Hi @bigcspecv thanks for the hint. This way - just for copy/paste fix - is good. A new test version is online. Can you check if it’s correct now? Thanks.

Hi, has something changed ? using this app for 2 years or s now. Almost never lost connection, since yesterday I needed to restart the app 3 times to refresh the readings. “current” remains active while forecast for future hours / days is giving an error. After restart of the app it works again. I did not make any changes to my setup or homey. [Previous page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-openweather/61482.md?page=24)
