Hello all,
Can I get some help on fixing my weather forecast sensors? I honestly don’t know where to start. I heard they broke because some kind of change home assistant made within the last week.
Essentially, I inherited the templates etc. from a github repo of someone that is/ was a programmer and now that I’ve had a problem with one breaking. I don’t know how to fix it.
I am ok with changing sources if that has to happen. – Below is the template sensor (one of them)
I tried to fix it myself by changing the integration being used. It used to pull the data from pirateweather. I switched over to “Meteorologisk institutt” and changed the info from what it originally was to “weather.forecast_home” which is what my entity is called for the “Meteorologisk institutt” integration. However, my current forecast entity still says “unavailable”.
Is there something I have to do to “load” the information to the sensor for the first time?
I apologize, I’ve never fixed something like this before and I’m pretty confused.
Another thing that kind of confuses me (2nd portion of the code post below) is that the “current forecast detail” didn’t break- It is still working properly
