Hi there,

it looks like forecast.io was bought by apple, which means I won't get any weather information anymore from the app.
Is there another working (free) app or any other alternatives? Wunderground won't work either, as far as I know.

Thank you!

Best regards,
Patrick

Hi,
I'm using Local Weather addon. It based on openweathermap. It's free and it work perfectly.

Thanks for the suggestion @taiebmagb whatsapp download. It worked great.

Hello, guys. I recently tried the Local Weather Addon.nulls brawl But it's showing me wrong data. I checked the location and it's the same as mine, but still, the weather data is not correct.
Are you getting correct weather readings?

I've installed local weather app. But there is no device I can work with.

I'd like to make a scene where the blinds do not go up when it is freezing < 2°C outside.
Any ideas?

There will be created a device with name of your location (if API key is not wrong) - check again
You can check it in event log too...

But I am unable to do a logical rule (if - then - else) out of it. I can't select the weather app. On my dashboard it's there and it also shows me the correct temperature.

Same thing here in Spain. I live in a small village and temperature is frequently 1-4 degrees more than other forecast providers, and more important, higher than reality

Yes, you are right of course - I haven't seen that this element is a widget with multiple device values...

One simple way could be to create a new HTTP-device and configure it like this: Use here the device name of your weather device and your z-way-IP - and insert the Javascript line.
Define the refresh interval (here 240 seconds).

But note, that the OpenWeather information will be updated by the App only every hour by design...

You can now use the new created http-device in you rules (I have tested, it is working ...)

There are other ways using JavaScript - so this is ons one sample.

I made a pull request today for LocalWeather app with added temperature, humidity and wind speed/direction sensors (can be selected).
This can be used in future in automation.
Additional you can select the refresh interval then.

If you have some time you can wait while update is available.
