It seems that you need to provide a credit card

It’s been a few years since I signed up for OpenWeatherMap, but I am pretty certain that providing a credit card has always been necessary for OWM access.

Yesterday I upgraded to Core 2024.6.0 / Supervisor 2024.06.0. Upon restart I was told that I had an integration which no longer worked, and it was the older OpenWeatherMap integration I had. So I deleted it, since I have the newer one working.

The page for the integration says “OpenWeatherMap API V2.5 will be closed in June 2024. After this date, you will need to use API V3.0.”

No, it has not. If it was, I will never have the possibility to use it, as I never had an CC…

Just switched to accuweather; have deleted openweathermap.

[ascha191 (Helmut)]

accuweather does not have an hourly forecast. are there alternatives with an hourly forecast?

If you’d scolled up a bit in this post, you’d have found this excellent post:

Definitive guide to Weather integrations

There are a bunch of weather integrations to choose from and everyone you’ll ask will have a different opinion about which one to choose. Let’s break down the options where they shine, where they fall short and help YOU choose the perfect fit for your smart home. So, grab your metaphorical raincoats (or sunscreen, depending on the forecast) and let’s dive in! Why this guide Although the original reason for writing this guide was the change to OpenWeatherMap, t…

Thanks very much for this.
I followed the link and ended up choosing the HA default (Meteorologisk), which to be honest I didn’t know existed.

Anyway, installed and configured, and now have the following on my Weather Dashboard:

All I need to do now is work out how to make the weather nicer where I live and I’ll be happy

Thanks again

[Edwin_D]

Nice! If you flip the graph vertically, weather will improve by the hour

Which card is that?

[moddingtom]

If only that would work

[moddingtom]

It’s the Weather Chart Card located here:

Bummer about OWM. For what it’s worth, based on @AJediIAm ‘s excellent comparison guide, it took me about 30 seconds to switch to Meteorologisk, which is free and requires no API key, just load the native HA integration and you’re off and running. Disabled OWM, problem solved. Bad decision to CC paywall a free tier in my opinion, their user base drop will be precipitous.

[fridolin]

What a pity. Since years I have a nice collected history of weather details in my HA database, but I’m not willing to hand out credit card information to a service which is ‘never about to use it’.

I don’t care about 1000 API calls - 10 would be fine for me as well. But it seems they want to scare hobby users away.

Next week, the weather should get worse and then I will need to find the time to check the nice guide from above.
The only sad part will be that the streak of weather details will be lost.

With what weather integration, besides openweathermap, can i make a air pressure chart like in the picture?

The top block is made with Meteorologisk. The bottom block, the air pressure chart (Luchtdruk in dutch), is made with the openweatehrmap air pressure entity.

type: vertical-stack
cards:
  - show_current: true
    show_forecast: true
    type: weather-forecast
    entity: weather.forecast_home
    forecast_type: daily
    name: Weersverwachting
    secondary_info_attribute: pressure
  - chart_type: line
    period: hour
    type: statistics-graph
    entities:
      - sensor.openweathermap_pressure
    stat_types:
      - mean
    hide_legend: true
    days_to_show: 14
    title: Luchtdruk
    logarithmic_scale: false

[jbishop129 (Joe)]

@fridolin that’s a good point about historical data for the weather sensor. I wonder if you could make a note of the sensor name, presumably weather.openweathermap if you’re using OWM, and after you delete it, rename your new weather provider sensor to match the old? Some trickery like that ought to be possible. Worth fiddling with

[AJediIAm (Jaap)]

Any integration with a pressure attribute in the “current weather” section of the Definitive guide to Weather integrations 🌦 (which is most of them).

BuienRadar is an obvious choice for Dutch users.
It has a lot of entities which might be a bit overwhelming at first. Just scroll through them and disable the once you don’t need.

[Gerard-mst]

Thank you @AJediIAm

At this moment i have Meteorologisk and Openweathermap integrations installed wen i search thru the entities only Openweathermap air pressure entity shows up.

It would be great if i could stop using Openweathermap all toghether and only use Meteorologisk for weather forecast and for the air pressure graph.

But Meteorologisk doesn’t seem to have a pressure entity.

I will test Buienradar next.

Unless you messed around with the default recorder settings, all your weather history is deleted after 10 days. Switch if you you’re not comfortable providing a CC - in a week and a half, you’ll be right back to where you are now with regards to history.

[fridolin]

@jbishop129 Jepp, this is exactly what I had in mind. Just some time is needed, to identify what’s available and what could be mapped.

In the Netherlands we mostly use debit cards. I have money on the bank Up front.
I also build weather stations . With a LilyGO T5 4.7 inch e-paper display, ESP32 based. Connected to HA or/and stand alone. They still work for now.

Also build one for a person with a mental disorder. Who is ‘over the moon’ happy with the device. Weerstation named in Dutch.
The e-paper display is translated to Dutch. Also the moon phases names.

So hopefully there is a alternative way to pay for a subscription.
Maybe I drop Open Weather a mail or other kind of message.
Or switch to another api provider.
