Weather.get_forecasts Service not available

Configuration
1

Hi,

I’m using the latest HA OS / HA installation. It’s a fresh installation. For many hours I’m trying to get a template work to get weather forecast values. It is very complicated compared to openHAB, where you already have channels for e.g. temperature in 3h, 6h, etc. It would be much easier to have entities in HA for this.

Due to the fact, that I wasn’t able to get the most simple templates (e.g. from your documentation) work, I tried the weather.get_forecasts service in the developer tools and found out that the whole service is not working or available.

The UI is empty and if I click on the button I got an error message:

Meteorologisk is configured and working and also showing forecast values in the card. Also I tried OpenWeatherMap, which also worked, but the weather.get_forecasts service is not working.

You need to specify the entity id and type as part of the data:

action: weather.get_forecasts
data: 
  entity_id: weather.forecast_home
  type: hourly

Your weather entity id may be different.

A large and significant part of the UI seems to be missing for you. This particular action requires a target weather entity, as well as a forecast type.

If you are indeed working with the latest versions, this may be a browser caching issue. Clear the cache, try another browser as a first step. Your window seems quite small too, so I wonder if you are trying to do this on a tablet or phone where a poor WiFi network connection can cause issues.

Thanks for the feedback! The screenshot is so small because I made my browser smaller specifically for this so that the screenshot is not unnecessarily large. I have tested it with several browsers and different devices (desktop & mobile), the result is always the same. Browsers are all up to date. Cache is empty. Using Chrome Dev Tools I can see that there are no hidden elements there, but that the UI is really completely empty. I also upgraded from 2024.8.2 to 2024.8.3 yesterday, but that didn’t make any difference either.
Everything else in Home Assistant works perfectly.
I can’t find any entry about this problem in the log. How can I debug this and find out why the UI isn’t being built there or why I can’t access this weather forecast service in general?

EDIT:

@SJ20035 Manually entering the YAML code actually worked there now

EDIT 2:

After I run manually the YAML Code for this service in Dev Tools, suddenly my template also started to work! Very strange, but it’s working now - except the UI in Dev Tools for Weather Forecasts Service.
