I have some shutters which I want to open if rain is coming.
So I added openweathermap integration to HA, using V3 API.
Now, there are some questions:
I did not find some config option to set the update frequency. 1000 api calls a day are free. what is the default polling interval now?
documentation of openweathermap shows an example of how to use openweathermap.get_minute_forecast. But how to use this for triggers? Where are the results? I added an hourly automation for this, but no glue where these data are stored?
Best regards and thanks in advance,
Otto
Replying to an old thread - I’ve only just seen these questions.
The default polling interval for the OWM integration is 10 minutes. However, you are right that it is not mentioned anywhere except the code. There was a request to include this information but it does not appear that the docs will be updated, in part because you can view usage and set a limit on the OWM site.
It looks as though you have found a solution but, if you’re interested, I’ve provided a Blueprint which might also do the job.
