The lastest test version is 1.1.10

I thinks it will be approved by Athom tomorrow.

The date is formatted by Homey core (NodeJS) based on Homey language.

Edit: The localized date will appear with the OWM app version 1.1.10 AND Homey Firmware from 7.4.0

Thanks to the multiple updates in this forum… That inspired me to create this API request to define “Neerslag” [precipitation](https://community.homey.app/t/setting-up-simple-get-request-and-storing-value-as-numeric-logic-object/48614/20)

It is a 5 step tutorial and can be found [here](https://community.homey.app/t/setting-up-simple-get-request-and-storing-value-as-numeric-logic-object/48614/20)

Thanks @RobvandeGoor I stole some parts of your flows…

It would be nice if someone (perhaps @CorvanderNiet ) could test and give a short feedback if the date is correct now - for setting this version live. Thanks.

New test version: 1.1.13 including:

- Device option to deactivate the automatic polling.  
You can deactivate the automatic interval polling in device settings for the “location” devices (weather and air quality).
- Flow action for one time refresh of “location” devices.  
With this flow action you can update the device date with a flow. This way you can choose the time for update like once a day a a defined time.

@Dennis_H74 Perhaps this could solve your problem with the changig data in forecast devices. I know, the data at morning is not closest some times. But this way you could add a second location (current weather) and a assigned forecast device. Deactivate the polling in device settings. Add a flow started a a wished time and use the flow action of the current weather device to update the data.  
Caution: The processing of flow actions is asynchronous. So you can’t read the updated value in this flow. You need second flow with the “data has changed” trigger.

New test version 1.1.14:

- adjusted timezone handling for sunrise/sunset to be compatible with FW 7.4. It would be nice if someone with FW 7.4. could test if the time is displayed? Thanks.
- some small bugfixes

Ronny asked if someone could test if the times are still displayed with FW7.4 and 1.1.14, so that’s what I did 😁

Thanks @all for your test. If a time is shown ist good. If it’s the correct time for your timezone, it’s best 😄  
So it seems all is ok and I’m waiting for Athom to rewiew the version tomorrow.

Don’t know if this is the right topic, but I’m a rookie with the values, it’s all very unclear to me.  
I wanted to create flows for each sensor, to inform or warn me about bad or dangerous levels

I found this:

- Fine particulate matter (PM2.5)  
5 μg/m3 annual mean  
15 μg/m3 24-hour mean

- Coarse particulate matter (PM10)  
15 μg/m3 annual mean  
45 μg/m3 24-hour mean

- Ozone O3  
100 μg/m3, 8-hour daily maximum\*  
60 μg/m3 8-hour mean, peak season\*\*

- Nitrogen dioxide (NO2)  
10 μg/m3 annual mean  
25 μg/m3 24-hour mean

- Sulfur dioxide (SO2)  
40 μg/m3 24-hour mean

> As of 2012\[update\], the EU-supported project CiteairII argued that the CAQI had been evaluated on a "large set" of data, and described the CAQI's motivation and definition. CiteairII stated that having an air quality index that would be easy to present to the general public was a major motivation, leaving aside the more complex question of a health-based index, which would require, for example, effects of combined levels of different pollutants. The main aim of the CAQI was to have an index that ...

My installation V1.1.14 appears to have stopped reporting the 24 hour forecast maximum temperature and minimum temperature. Last update for those fields was 2 months ago !

Current Visibility is now 5 days old !

Anyone else having this issue ?
