I have an eink display which has been successfully displaying hourly temperatures for quite a few months now but has stopped working.
I can see that the integration is still reporting hourly temperature
although perhaps there’s something else that has gone wrong as the eink display should also be saying good morning instead of displaying the mountain and that doesnt read from the weather API 
edit: scratch that, it is displaying ‘Good Morning’. Just the weather info isnt working as expected
Interesting. Yesterday the hourly forecast from OpenWeatherMap stopped working too. I asked the OpenWeather folks and it’s because they changed the API and apparently now hourly forecast is given only to paid plans.
It appears that hourly forecast was deprecated.
We now have to have a template run something every hour to pull out the data in some new format.
I don’t know what was wrong with the old format. I don’t have time to fix mine so I have just removed it from all my dashboards. One less thing to go wrong.
A weather entity’s forecast attribute has been eliminated (as per the deprecation announcement made over 6 months ago).
To get the data that was contained in the forecast attribute, you must now request it using the weather.get_forecasts service call. Alternately, the Weather card displays it automatically.
Solved. The problem was actually due to the deprecation of the forecast attribute for weather entities. Once I switched my template weather entity to the new forecast acquisition method hourly forecasts worked again.
ok, thanks. considering I have created custom sensors that utilise a mixture of data, this might not be so easy. Perhaps you have a link to this announcement?
edit: nevermind. I can see the chat about it all now… sigh… I guess I’ll wait until I have a spare day to pull my hair out… or wait until the future where chatgpt can tell me how to do it than trudge through forums for info 
I’m in the same boat. I don’t have a spare day to fix.
@tinkererer and @VPC : in the topic for the Weatherman e-ink display I posted an example on how you can modify the template for the display to use the service. It actually isn’t that hard and most of the weather code looks very similar:
My thing is I don’t want to have to run something every hour to get forecast data that already exists.
Thank you for the link, I appreciate it and will take a look.
As I understand it he service call should be returning cached data, not do an actual call. So you are just getting existing data another way. You can use the action in other places too, it does not need to be a time trigger afaik.
It’s not in the state machine so, whenever you want it, you’ll need to use the weather.get_forecasts service call.
How often you execute the service call is determined by your application’s requirements.
Thank you. It looks like it might be pretty straightforward but I have 2 different target entities weather.tomorrow_io_cottage_hourly' and weather.tomorrow_io_cottage_daily and I see a response_variable: hourly used in all the examples. I’m not sure how I would set mine up considering I’m calling on both hourly and daily?
Edit: Is it simply a case of using it twice such as:
service: weather.get_forecasts
target:
entity_id:
- weather.tomorrow_io_cottage
data:
type: hourly
response_variable: hourly
and
service: weather.get_forecasts
target:
entity_id:
- weather.tomorrow_io_cottage
data:
type: daily
response_variable: daily
?

in regards to the edit above. I assume this will work by simply adding these new triggers to call the service? Currently dont have access to the display to check
when you call get_forecasts and put the result in your response_variable, that variable only lives within the scope of the parent block (that - trigger in your specific case. so in your examples here, the hourly and daily response_varaibles are created then immediately discarded because that was the last line in that block.
here is the example from the documentation.
template:
- trigger:
- platform: time_pattern
hours: /1
action:
- service: weather.get_forecasts
data:
type: hourly
target:
entity_id: weather.home
response_variable: hourly
sensor:
- name: Temperature forecast next hour
unique_id: temperature_forecast_next_hour
state: "{{ hourly['weather.home'].forecast[0].temperature }}"
unit_of_measurement: °C
see how the hourly variable is used within the same - trigger block?
it looks to me like you’re trying to create a template sensor. which is what the doc’s example does. you should just tweak the doc example and keep it’s structure.
In addition to the above comment above.
Thanks for the help. I’m almost there but still got some funky behavior.
My code is as such:
- trigger:
- platform: time_pattern
hours: /1
action:
- service: weather.get_forecasts
data:

entity_id: weather.tomorrow_io_home_hourly
response_variable: hourly
- service: weather.get_forecasts

I can confirm that is the correct service call:
but my display is showing these 4x 6am conditions which seems to be a daily forecast instead of hourly?
I don’t believe I need to modify my esphome file for the change as it should still be reading it correctly
