Hi Remco, Oops, it looks like I might have deleted my MeteoSwiss app project.🤕 P.S.: It seems to me that we Swiss app developers need to get better organized in the future so that “accidents” like this don’t happen again.🤔. Gruss Chris ---

Hi Chris, Yes, I was really confused there wasn’t an app like this. Am I cannibalising you? sorry for that. Grüße von einem Auslandschweizer ---

> [@Remco\_Bosshard](#): > > Am I cannibalising you? No problem. I can live with that. I’ve actually wanted to do a project with OpenData for quite some time now. But first, the necessary data wasn’t available; then it was flawed; and now you’re just ahead of me. The only downside is the time we’ve invested in development, which has now gone to waste. For this reason, it would be helpful if all Swiss app developers could coordinate with each other so that such mishaps don’t happen again. P.S.: Where abroad? ---

Yes I agree fully. I am based in the Netherlands, but originating from Schlatt, ZH. But that is a few generations ago. Never was taught Schweizerdeutsch… my biggest childhood flaw I guess 😆 ---

So you’re not your typical homesick Swiss person.😂 I’ll take a closer look at the app and peer out of the window in Wädenswil ZH, to see if it works properly. Best regards and have a nice day. ---

the zip-code configured as the homey-location is not being applied, nor is the nearest swiss zip-code as described in the documentation. homey is set to location zip 4xxx, but the widget consistently displays zurich, which is not close to the actual location. if i manually select the zip-code instead of using homey-location, the weather data for 4xxx is currently correct, and the widget also displays zip “4xxx”. It would be great if a custom display name could be entered instead of showing only the zip code. additionally, when selecting the dark theme, the background is indeed dark but has a noticeable brown tint. this is not meant as criticism — just observations from my testing so far. otherwise, the app is excellent. thank you for your work. ---

Thank you for your feedback, really appreciated! I will have a look at the PLZ, couldn’t test for myself as I am not located in Switzerland 🥲 currently. Also the custom title is a good idea which I can implement. I will have a look at the RGB values for the dark mode as well, to make it more gray. Any feedback is appreciated. ---

I have updated the app. current: v0.0.245 - PLZ should work much better now! - Dark mode changed - Custom label possible ---

We’re getting very close to publishing this app! 🎉 The core features are in place and everything is looking solid, but this is the perfect moment to give it a final round of testing. If you have some time to try it out, your feedback would be incredibly valuable. Found something odd? Have a suggestion? Let me know — I’d love to hear it before the official release 🚀 Thanks for helping make this app even better! 🙌 ---

Thanks for the update. Everything is working well now, and the option to set a custom location name is great. Weather warnings are currently displayed in English. Is it possible to get them in German as well, or are these messages provided by MeteoSwiss only in English? ---

thanks for the feedback. There was a language setting missing in the request to MeteoSwiss. So it responded in English only. Should be solved now. Could you double check please? ---

Is there a way to have the current weather conditions, such as temperature, cloud cover, and rainfall, available as a tag so that these values can be used in other flows or messages? ---

hi, i installed today’s update and saw on the iPhone that there are tags now — thank you. :-). However, i’m seeing something strange: in a standard flow on the iPhone I can select the tags, but in an advanced flow on the web I can’t. I’ve never seen this before and don’t understand why. Do you have any idea? ---

I can narrow it down: when searching for a tag, i have to start with “swiss” in the search field, and not — as usual — with “Schweizer Wetter” ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/b/5b993f30ff6501b284e0e05a98b331eaa5851807.png) ---

Great app, thank you :-). Finally a Swiss App which would replace my other weather app. What I’m missing, is there no flowcard with “temperature max. today” or “temperature min today”? I do see one for tomorrow, but not for today… I would like to shut down my shades if there is a certain temperature during the day.
