Did you create the duplicated device in another folder?

  1. thats your location device for Api access and current weather
  2. a device for daily forecast. You can set the days in pair view or device settings. Day=0 gives you the forecast for today to get min/max values.
  3. a device for historical data (for example rain amount of yesterday). Here it’s also possible to get a forecast for a short period.

I got a new free credit card from the bank. That regular bank Visa card doesn’t work.
On that visa bank card you don’t have 4 blocks with numbers, only an iban number.

I filled in that number from the new card and now that api 3.0 is activated.

And it works again. The api is set to remain below 1000 requests, isn’t it?

408

If the card has only an IBAN, then it’s no VISA (debit/credit) or another credit card, but only a Maestro or VPay or something similar (mostly german standard bank card).

The free amaount is 1000 calls. You can set a limit for your API key that prevents you from paying if you hit the 1000 calls. With a limit, your API access stops if it’s reached.

Hello @RonnyW !
It would be great to have a nice widget for this great app :blush:.
Is it planned?

Not yet. There are so many possibilities for weather widgets. I hope we developer can make some standard widgets to add to our weather apps.
But it will take some time. Not :soon: :innocent:

Hello, thanks for the feedback!
So I’ll wait :muscle:t2:

Fantastic!
I do not know what OneCall daily forecast means. I am testing this:

I presume that is the one. I’ll be tracking that in a log for a while. Very curious what the upodate frequency will be :slight_smile:

Thank you very, very much!

414

Yes, that’s the correct card.
You can use it for a daily forecast (+1 day = tomorrow). Then it should update one a day.
If using +0 days as forecast (=today) it could be that it gets updated during the day.

Great start :grin: looks like daily indeed.

416

Still going strong! I will go and build this into my flows, seems to work perfectly.
Thank you very much for making this!!!
This is gonna sound greedy, but I’m just going to ask anyway. Any chance to up the frequency, by 5 or so? Or would that be too heavy on the API traffic? If not, that is still very much okay.
And thank you again!!

417

The moon phase is part of the daily forecast. If you are using tomorrow (+1 day), it will be updated once a day with the phase for tomorrow.
If you set +0 days as forecast, you get the todays data. And they should be updated several times during the day (I think).
You can set the days for forecast in device settings:

Nope, FYI, just daily, not more frequent.

But if that frequency is determined API side, there is nothing you can do to increase it.

Oooh, nice it is working. I have a moonlamp gradually cycling through:

  • New moon: daylight color, no light 0% dim,
  • First Q: greenish light, 50% dim
  • Full moon: daylight color 100% dim
  • Last Q: reddish light, 50% dim
    and back to new moon
    But: all gradual, in daily steps!

Here are some formulas to achieve this:

Hi,

My API has stopped working.
Anyone else has the same problem?

421

With me too.

I Always get the error message that my API is invalid. Have already tried with a new API, same problem.

422

@Tirrazo @Marcel_W

If the error message in device details is about your payment plan, the you have to add a credit card for your API key (and perhaps set a fixed limit to 1000 calls).
OpenWeather is switching to OneCall API 3.0 which needs a subscription.

423

Yes, you are right.
I added my CC and now it works again. :+1:
