Hello,
i just found out about HomeAssistant yesterday and tried it myself.
Now i tried to set up DarkSky to monitoring the weather in my location.
I got a little bit confused by documentation as i saw this:
minutely_summary: A human-readable text summary for the next hour.
hourly_summary: A human-readable text summary for the next 24 hours.
daily_summary: A human-readable text summary for the next 7 days.
maybe someone can say wheter this is right or just a small mistake.
You can go to darksky’s website and look at the API if you want. It’ll clear things up fairly quickly.
Anyways, it has been a while since I looked at the API, but if I remember correctly each summary is the interval listed for the given timeframe. So, the minutely_summary contains minute by minute summaries for the next hour. The same is true of the other two (only hours and days).
Also if I remember correctly those fields aren’t particularly useful since you can’t really get anything out of them. The daily_summary can possibly be useful combined with the “forecast” field in the component since that may allow you to grab the daily_summary from any day in the next week. I can’t remember how I implemented it though.
