Hey everyone,
there are a bunch of weather integrations, but before I generate various API keys etc, I wanted to check with you: what’s the best source for hourly chance of rain data, for the next 12-24 hours? Lovelace integration is secondary, as I want to create something close to what Google weather does via an e-ink display in the hallway:
Any recent experiences with a certain service you would recommend?
thanks a lot in advance! Cheers 
There is no answer to this one as it highly depends on you location, i.e. in my area any of the meteo-sites are not able to provide this detail at all…google included.
I’ve been using openweather for the last month or so and seems pretty good. I’m in the US, fwiw.
Thanks a lot, I signed up and will take a look at the values for the next few days and see how it compares to reality
How’d it go? Did you get your hourly precipitation chance and amount?
Yep, works like a charm now. The code to get the data readily available into esphome yaml took quite a bit to wrap my head around (I used a lot of code from other projects), but in the end it’s all fine now. Here are a few code snippets: How to "clone" a weather entity into a template sensor, with less datafields? - #6 by Lakini
did you guy’s get hourly data for free, or did you pay for the service ?
For free. I actually got 2 integrations running, one daily, one hourly, both with the same account / api key
Hi Lakini, I am a quite Newbie @ Home Asssistant and have a similar wish. How did you solve your problem? What did you do?
I went with openweathermap, created 2 entities from it (with slightly different gps coordinates, otherwise it wont allow a 2nd one), one for hourly and one for daily forecasts. My code is mostly documented in the link i posted in Best weather service/API for hourly chance or rain / precipitation data? (Google-style) - #6 by Lakini, but I’ll have to update that soon, as HA is fading out the forecast attribute in weather sensors.
