When using the weather integration here: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/openweathermap/#weather, the 5 day forecast gives the weather/temp for the current time plus 24, 48, etc hours. i.e. if I look at my dashboard at 10pm, I see the weather/temp at 10pm on each of the next 5 days. This is not what anyone would want from a forecast, and isn’t the norm for a forecast.
Can anyone tell me if this is all that is available with the free account? Is it a bug? IS there anything that can be done?
The background is that Im in the UK, and just want a sensible multi-day weather forecast on my dashboard (HomeHabit). There seems to be no supported source of weather forecast for the UK, which has more sensible forecast data.
In the meantime, you can use a REST call to query the One Call API. If you think the forecast in the One Call API better suits your needs, just let me know. I can post my configuration for that if you want it.
Thanks @Emphyrio. I fear as a HomeHabit user, the results of the rest call, probably in a rest sensor, wouldn’t be accessible as a weather forecast in HomeHabit at this point anyway //cc @igorz
Thanks so much! I’m a novice and fighting my way thru things. I needed to see a real world configuration for some json formating and this helped very much in my learning.
With the last option, I just get every information in a string and can’t distinguish between the days.
Is there a way to get these informations into an proper array?
How would I use this to get the feels like and high low forecasts for a week? For weekly forecasts would I just increase the number 0 for today 1 for tomorrow 2 for the day after and so on?
Yeah I got a bunch of them working. The only ones I am having issues with is the daily.weather.description item. No matter how I configure it, they wont return a value.
Edit: my method is to call the API from the SoapUI program. Then I get the full structured JSON message. This helps a lot to determine the correct JSON paths. Perhaps SoapUI is useful for you too
