Hello all,
is is possible, to use buienradar as well outside of Netherlands or you know a alternative? -> I need it for Germany
I’m looking for a app to get information about the precipitation. best case in “mm/h” and a forecast for 2-3 days.
Background: to automate the irrigation of my garden
If you have any other idea, I will be glad to read from you.

Perhaps openweathermap will get you there…
I think you should check the OpenWeatherMap API documentation: https://openweathermap.org/api
I believe the One Call API was introduced fairly recently. The HA Openweathermap integration does not use this API yet. That is being worked on as you can see here: Convert OpenweatherMap Integration to use "one-call-api"
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 configurati…

Thanks!
You are using OpenWeather as a “Weather” or as a “Sensor”?
I use it as a sensor, but i got not realy information about the precipitation. Only if rain or no. You got the rain information in mm/h?
my config:
- platform: openweathermap
name: OpenWetter
language: de
forecast: true
api_key: <secret>
monitored_conditions:
- weather
- temperature
- wind_speed
- clouds
- rain
- snow
- weather_code
- pressure

As a REST sensor. It is explained in the linked topic.

oh yes, I was fixed to integrations.
You have an example to grab the rain information?
openweather_rain_tomorrow -> value is empty.
- platform: rest
name: openweather_report2
json_attributes:
- current
- daily
value_template: "{{ value_json['current']['dt'] | timestamp_custom('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M', true) }}"
resource: https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/onecall?lat=xxx&lon=xxx&appid=xxxx&units=metric&lang=xx
scan_interval: 3600
- platform: template
sensors:
openweather_rain_tomorrow:
value_template: "{{ state_attr('sensor.openweather_report2', 'daily')[1].weather.rain }}"

Hello Griesi,
have you found a solution for this?
I would also like to have a rain forecast for today.
