I suggest you search your entire config for

smartweather_location_code_3

Five stations is overkill I admit. However the stations near me are not as near as I’d like so an average helps.

Also some are not reliable and go off line or worse still occasionally report ridiculously high (wrong) rainfall figures.

If you find one or two close to you that are reliable, that is perfectly good enough.

Hi
I try to install your project version2
But it’s very difficult because there is not a guide step by step.
I view follow prerequisites.md and install plugin HACS, but after can I do?
copy the folter packages in my config, integration with configuration.yaml ecc…
what? please

[spykey]

Thanks Klogg.

So I manage to make some procress, not the UI is appearing in Home assistant. However, I am getting a lot of errors. Could it be because I haven;t setup my sonoff 4CH device yet and the entities aren’t available?

see screenshot below:

OK, the middle red box is due to your DarkSky sensor being incorrectly named. See the docs.

Once that is fixed I think you will then see the middle panel ok.

I think the error on the left panel might just be down to some things not yet being initialised. Get the middle panel right, run a cycle (use test mode to make it quicker) and see if that fixes it.

Let me know because if I am right then I might find time to add code to stop this happening in future.

Regarding the middle red paneI know its not a fix but i found when i downgraded the button card to 3.2.3 in hacs, the middle card loaded great, and yes i would do a full reset of your host box as that sometimes helps.

Hi Klogg,
it appears that DarkSky is not accepting new registration. Is there a generic API that i can make use of?

thanks

@spykey

DarkSky is not accepting new registration

Ha!
Already!?

I’ll try and find time to re-write that section to use OpenWeathermap. I don’t know how long it will be though.

In the meantime try changing:

label: >
      [[[
        return 'Weather Outlook: ' + states['sensor.dark_sky_current_minutely_summary'].state.replace(',', ',<br>');
      ]]]

to:

label: Could be sun, could be rain

EDIT: I just remembered, I don’t think there is an OpenWeathermap equivalent to the DarkSky text weather description.

[ilgio]

where is the error?

[klogg]

From the information you have given me, I can only guess.

Do you have
panel: true
in your view?

[ilgio]

if my configuration.yaml I insert:

lovelace:
  mode: yaml

HA reboot and start in safety mode
why?

@klogg

From the information you have given me,

I can’t even guess

Hi Andie,
I tried downgrading to 3.2.3 and still no luck.

Cheers

[spykey]

This has fixed the middle section. how do I run a cycle using test mode to see if that fixes the left panel? I cannot locate the test section.

[klogg]

[spykey]

I ran a manual cycle in testing mode and it doesn’t appear to make any difference.
see below:

[spykey]

Ok, i managed to fix the left panel.

went in my profile, change the theme to default… refresh and then change it again to dark teal.

see screenshot below

[ilgio]

I have same problem
how do you resolve?
my HA started in safety mode

I try to use a lovelace mode storage

lovelace:
  mode: storage
  # Add yaml dashboards
  dashboards:
    lovelace-yaml:
      mode: yaml
      title: IRRIGATION
      icon: mdi:script
      show_in_sidebar: true
      filename: lovelace/includes_garden/view_garden_version2.yaml

but dont work

[malesci]

Hello I also cannot manage the installation properly.
I add a new yaml dashboard but something went wrong. Please can you explain and documents the steps for installing this package?

Thank you for the great job

[ilgio]

I try: configuration.yaml

lovelace:
  mode: storage
  # Add yaml dashboards
  dashboards:
    lovelace-yaml:
      mode: yaml
      title: IRRIGATION
      icon: mdi:script
      show_in_sidebar: true
      filename: ui-lovelace.yaml

ui.lovelace.yaml

views:
  - !include lovelace/includes_garden/view_garden_version2.yaml

another error
