[App][Pro] OpenWeather

New test version 1.5.0:

  • Added new device for historical data (and 4 day forecast) with daily summary.
    Use this device to check amount of rain for the last days.
  • Added instuctions to pair view.

Some hints for daily summary device:

  • It uses OneCall API 3.0. You need a OneCall API key with subscription to use this device.
  • To prevent unneccessary API calls you can change the period in device settings to a larger period (60min). Or you can deactivate auto update in device settings and request new data once a day using the device flow action.
  • The historical data is currently limited in the app to -365 days. If there are needs to request older data, please let me know.
  • Based on the API description also forecasts are allowed (up to 4 days). This should allow to read estimated rain amount (for the whole day) for upcoming days.
  • Some values like rain are daily summations, other values like temperature or wind speed are maximum values.

Please keep in mind, that every added device where you have inserted an API key in pair view or device settings is calling the API in the period defined in device settings.
If you are adding 5 devices for daily summary, every device is calling the API itself. Using a period of 5min this results in 288 calls for every device.
If you are using several devices, increase the period or deactivate auto update and use flow actions for daily updates.
