Buienradar sensor gives errors in 0.102.1

Since I upgraded to version 0.102.1 I constantly get this error:

Unable to parse data from Buienradar.(Msg: Location data is invalid.)

Same overhere since the update.

Now I’m in doubt if the reason for this error is the update to 0.102.1. My nearest weather station is “Voorschoten”. On https://www.buienradar.nl/nederland/weerbericht/weerstations the “Voorschoten” location doesn’t contain data.

Will change my location to a working location later this evening to test.

Interesting - my nearest location is also Voorschoten… could be coincidence but you never know

It’s a coincidence. Just changed my location to “Volkel” and the buienradar works without any error.

So the error isn’t the upgrade to 0.102.1, it’s something with our weather station

Yep, same here. ‘Voorschoten’ is down.

I’ve tried to use another weather station like “Rotterdam”, “Volkel”, etc. But I don’t receive any data on those either. Do you guys also experience this? When I check the Buienradar XML I can clearly see that “Voorschoten” is down. But all the others are up and running. I can’t get them to show up in HA.

Try tracking it down in the States view. I changed from Voorschoten to Rotterdam weerstation and restarting Home Assistant all my BR sensors got renamed with numbers at the end. You’ll have to modify the groups / cards with the updated names of sensors to get all your display / automations to work again.

Voorschoten seems to be working again over here.
