Configuration

I was a wunderground user until it quit. Then I went to dark sky and copied Jarvis’ implementation of dark sky. I am getting a warning that ‘extra keys since 0.88 are being flagged [monitored conditions]’. My question is whether all ‘monitored conditions’ are being deprecated or just some in my list? Is this related to different methods used in Lovelace? Thanks for any guidance. BTW, I tried searching to solve my questions, but what I found also used ‘monitored conditions’. Thus this inquiry, thanks.

can you post the error message from the log and your darksky config as this will help in diagnosing the issue

    The message went away when I commented out the 'monitored conditions', but it showed up in 'notifications' as I originally showed (i.e. extra keys will be reported after 0.88 [monitored conditions] line number 183 which was the monitored conditions line in dark sky configuration.yaml.

Thanks for your reply.

There are 2 darksky components, a sensor one and the weather one. the one you are using does not include monitored _conditions. that’s why commenting it out fixes it

The one you are using.

the darksky sensor one (uses monitored_conditions)

There were also breaking changes in the output of the sensor but I am sure you know that from reading the Release Notes, right?

I do read the release notes. I do not have Dark Sky Sensor, so that did not apply to me. Please note, I often do not understand release notes for things I do not have [many]. I also do not understand how some things will affect me just do to a lack of knowledge and not due to a lack of diligence.
If you ever become fallible, you will also have some problems understanding absolutely everything.

In the mean time, please be kind to the rest of us! (LOL)

Thank you. That was exactly my mistake. I really appreciate the link to Dark Sky info.:+1:

Prior to .88 it would have silently ignored any unknown attributes to a component, now it gives a warning that they should be fixed as in the future the warning will not be given and the component will not load

That is a good addition. Hidden things often bit you.
