WeatherFlow Weather

Has anyone been able to update the addon to 3.2.0? My installed addon is 3.1.6 and there are no updates in the addon store (the 3.1.6 addon isn’t even found). I know there is/was some work going on to create a core integration for this but I’m not sure where that ended up.

Edit: Fixed my own issue. I had to remove the addon, remove the repository, re-add the repository, and then reinstall the addon to get 3.2.0 to install.

I have the same issue. From the Gethub, it seems as if the forecast changed the way it reports, which is causing the issue. I am hoping the HACS integration updates rather than me removing it and re-adding it. It looks like there is a version 1.0.15 out. I have 1.0.14. I need to figure out how to update that…it usually just allows me to upgrade automatically.

I just “reloaded” the integration and it seems to work, now.

There is now a V1.0.16 out, which should finally fix the issue, with Hourly Forecast not loading for some users. If you installed through HACS, just go there and an update should be available.

The issue is that only some users, no longer get a value for Sea Level Pressure in the hourly forecast. I have not been able to pin-point what type of users that is, but f.ex. my station id is not having the issue.
The fix in 1.0.16 ensures that a default value of 0 is returned, if the item is not present in the data.

With the core update to 2023.9.0, the forecast part will no longer be available with the 2024.3 update. I don’t understand what I have to do to keep the forecasts.

Do you have any examples of what to do?

Don’t worry about it for now. It is being worked on and there will be an update to install in due time.

Works well. :grinning:

Hey folks → now that @briis has a new forecast integration out I’m looking about seeing if we can integrate this into core.

What I’m thinking is allowing an optional config vars to use the Cloud stuff as per @briis’s current integration.

And I guess we could have an option for

Create Local Sensors
Create Cloud Sensors

That way I think everybody can get the best of both worlds…

Considering its holiday time and I have kids and tons of work … don’t hold your breath :slight_smile:

I’ll be happy to help work on this @jeeftor :christmas_tree:

Awesome!

I’m playing around with the code now - once it’s in a nascent state I’ll add you as a contributor to the PR and we can mess with it.

I’m just trying to wrap my head around the best way to do the configuration - that allows for both Local-Only as well as allows for the cloud functions for those “less paranoid” folks out there :slight_smile:

Half the time when I do a PR I over think things and eventually it gets very simplified (which is great)

@briis - I spoke with some mods and I’m going to scrap what I did and probably start a new weatherflow_cloud integration. Seems like the way some other integrations have gone. That will be much simpler in reality

@briis - Couldnt be happier with the integration! Much better than the default. Thank you for your hard work. Can I ask for a addition to be added? Precipitation type? When it “hails” I have the speaker alert me. If you could add this, I would apprreciate it!

Thank you for adding Precipitation type!!! That is great!!

Thanks very much for looking into this. Some sensors definitely benefit from cloud. Lightning detection definitely benefits from having other sensors; for my location it helps for wind as well. Happy to test if it helps.

With the ‘new’ core WeatherFlow integration, am I missing something, but how do you get rainfall for the day? Are you now expected to run a meter to report it?

So there are (next release) going to be 2 core integrations.

  1. Weatherflow a local UDP based integration
  2. Weatherflow Cloud - REST Api based integration (WIP). [Forecasts to start with]

The weatherflow cloud forecast component got approved today so it should be in the next version. I’m hoping @briis and I have some time to start moving other components into core. Depending on how busy real life/work is - I may try to get some sensors enabled into core soon… but no can promise

Looks like I was missing a few rain states → never noticed that since I live in the desert. So there will be some bugs until next point release

I was using an old developer key with the previous Weatherflow integration, but that seemed to stop working recently. So, I just tried it in the new Weatherflow Cloud integration for the requested Personal API token and couldn’t get past the first step…Unknown error occurred.

Does this mean we can no longer pull in data from Tempest stations if we don’t own a station ourselves - even if they’re public?

I believe if you look at their API, you have to have a station to get a key and I think you can only pull your own station but I’m not sure. Or rather, your station can be off-line and you can pull aggregate data from the cloud

It’s very possible there’s some weird data that stopping the config flow, so see if you can get it directly from their API page

Get what from their API page?
