They are in Fahrenheit
FYI, this is making over 1,000 calls per day, and is causing it to timeout or return incorrect values with the free account.

I just checked and I am still at about 700 calls per day. The forecast information is obtained in the same API call, so it should not increase the number of requests (see here).
I was averaging around 700 as well for the longest, not sure why it went up.

Make sure you donât have the dark sky sensor in two places in your .yaml files. I accidentally left my dark sky sensor in the sensor: section, and since the package for this forecast has the dark sky sensor embedded, it was doubling my api calls and I ran into the same issue.

Thatâs definitely what it is, I had the dark sky sensors previously, will reconfigure and update.
How many calls, and how often are calls made with this package?
Every 2 minutes (720 a day) if you donât specify a different update interval in the dark sky sensor.
Looks good now.
Restarted 10min ago.
Cheers.
What does this mean?

Are you absolutely sure you donât have the dark sky sensor listed in two locations? Iâve never had a problem with it making more calls than it is supposed to.
Got the above errors to go away and now Iâm getting this.

Looks like you have not copied the files correctly.
Hi!
I have tried to get this to work but all i get is this result;
I have added icons in âconfig/www/dark_sky/DarkSky-iconsâ and added this âdark_sky_friendly_namesâ in Python script folder
Can someone please take a look and see where my misstake is?
Python_script:
###############################################################################
# Author: Alok R. Saboo
# Description: This script takes the dark_sky forecast sensors and updates
# their friendly_name to include the date and day.
# https://github.com/arsaboo/homeassistant-config/blob/master/packages/weather.yaml
###############################################################################
dark_sky_entities = ["sensor.forecast_1", "sensor.forecast_2", "sensor.forecast_3",
"sensor.forecast_4", "sensor.forecast_5", "sensor.forecast_6",
"sensor.forecast_7"]
days = ["Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday","Sunday"]
triggeredEntity = data.get('entity_id')
# logger.warning("trigger is {}".format(triggeredEntity))
now = datetime.datetime.now()
today = now.weekday()
if triggeredEntity is None:
for entity_id in dark_sky_entities:
# copy it's state
state = hass.states.get(entity_id)
newState = state.state
forecastdays = int(entity_id.split('_')[1])
day = datetime.timedelta(days = forecastdays)
forecastdate = now + day
newEntityPicture = state.attributes.get('entity_picture')
if today + forecastdays > 6:
newDay = days[today + forecastdays - 7]
else:
newDay = days[today + forecastdays]
# Set states
hass.states.set(entity_id, newState, {
'friendly_name': "{} ({}/{})".format(newDay, forecastdate.month, forecastdate.day),
'entity_picture': newEntityPicture,
})
else:
state = hass.states.get(triggeredEntity)
newState = state.state
forecastdays = int(triggeredEntity.split('_')[1])
day = datetime.timedelta(days = forecastdays)
forecastdate = now + day
newEntityPicture = state.attributes.get('entity_picture')
if today + forecastdays > 6:
newDay = days[today + forecastdays - 7]
else:
newDay = days[today + forecastdays]
# Set states
hass.states.set(triggeredEntity, newState, {
'friendly_name': "{} ({}/{})".format(newDay, forecastdate.month, forecastdate.day),
'entity_picture': newEntityPicture,
})
And this is the code that i have in âPackagesâ
You mean it didnât show correct temperature or ?
I cant see icons in frontend like this;
Re-read the original post in its entirety. The code I embedded in the post is for the mdi icons. If you want the custom icons, you need to use the weather.yaml file in the github link.
download the darksky icon and put the png files in www/dark_sky folder.
