For garden watering systems, it would be nice to have the precipitation value in the weather info. Right now there is the precipitation unit, but not the value. It might be useful to include has_precipitation boolean to check, if true, the precipitation value, type and unit. AccuWeather does not provide the value if there is no precipitation.
It might be also especially useful, for garden watering systems, to provide the precipitation past 6 hours value, to decide wether watering or not.
Finally, it would be nice to provide the texts in different languages.
Many thanks.
Information about precipitation is part of the weather forecast.
And, there is a sensor that indicates the current amount of precipitation.
I don’t have the weather.dom entity? I use AccuWeather and as I said the main entity has precipitation_unit, but not the precipitation value and type. AccuWeather API provides has_precipitation, preicipation_type and precipitation_unit which are present when has_precipitation is true. It’s true that AccuWeather integration provides another sensor for precipitation, and that’s what I use, but interestingly, this sensor doesn’t provide the type, as far as I know… So it could be rain, snow, etc.
Forecast data is available by weather.get_forecasts action, not by entity attribute. And yes, your weather entity probably has different name than mine.
Yes, it provides
Bieniu,
Thanks a lot for your answers! I found the action you mentioned, in my case only the daily forecast is available and it gives a forecast from yesterday until Thursday, 4 days…
For the precipitation, you’re right, the specific sensor gives the type as attribute, and I guess, if there’s no precipitation it returns null (that’s what I see now since there is no precipitation)…
Do you know if there is a way to get the “precipitation past 6 hours” which is available in AccuWeather? That would be very useful.
By the way, I see that you are a Shelly Integration Dev contributor, I use very extensively the Shellys and I also use scripting with them… 
I have some suggestions about some integration feature requests, can I discuss them with you? If yes, where?
Many many thanks!
This data is not currently available through integration. You can open a feature request (it’s good to show examples of using new feature) and if it gets votes from others I will implement it.
The best way is to open a feature request, it allows other people to express their opinion.
Please remember that you should open one feature request for one feature. It’s hard to discuss a request if it contains multiple matters.
Please tag me if you open a feature request.
