The right place for the documentation is: OpenWeatherMap - Bindings | openHAB
The binding itself is part of OH2.4 and can be installed in the same way like every other binding (Installation of Add-ons | openHAB).
Vincent.. How many degrees are each step in this windrose.js script?
I still get no rain data (current, not forecast), it is always 0.0 mm even though the API call returns a value ārainā:{ā1hā:0.76}. This has been mentioned before, but I couldnāt find a solution to it. Is there any update?
Which version of the binding are you using? Have you deleted and recreated the Weather and Forecast Thing to update the Thing definition?
I installed the binding a few days ago for the first time (2.4) using Paper UI.
That version does not contain the 1h forecast change from https://github.com/openhab/openhab2-addons/pull/5070. You would need to upgrade to a snapshot version of OH or a snapshot version of the binding.
I do not recommend upgrading OH to a snapshot version at this time unless you are developer-minded, as there are still some kinks being worked out after the ESH reintegration and build system change. So, better to wait for at least 2.5 M2.
I will just wait a bit. Thanks a lot for the great work!
Itās @cweitkamp that deserves the kudos!
Hi, I have just installed this binding and it works great.
I have set the language to english in the things file, but I have one current condition that comes up german. Is there any fix for this?
Thanks
Jared
Hi Jared,
Unfortunately not. The binding receives the translated conditions from the OWM API and only forwards them. The only hint a can give you is to double check your settings to exclude any unexpected behavior.
Thanks for the response Iāll go through the settings again and see what I can find.
I found it, user error strikes again. Thanks for verification*

Hi everyone,
sorry for this question, but I am facing an issue I am not able to solve 
These are the values based on my geo location in OpenWeatherMap. Once checking my basic ui, I find the following:
What I am wondering now, why is the wind in the upper picture 190 - South, the provided value is based on the mapping Nord, which is related to a value of 3.3161255ā¦do I have a bug in my mind? My understanding was, I have the mapping table and based on the provided value of 190 the wind direction should be South.
Furthermore yesterday was rain, the OpenWeatherMap page showed rain 1.2mm but my system didnāt. I donāt get it :-D.
Hope someone can help me out.
Thx you.
Nobody an idea? @cweitkamp maybe?
Found the issueā¦I had a wrong item definition for the wind direction. instead of number:Angle I used number:dimensionlessā¦problem solved, user happy
The free OWM binding never reports current rain. If you persist this data, e.g. in influxdb, then youāll see it is always zero. Thereās nothing you can do unless opting for a paid plan. Or resort on using another source of rain information.

It does at my setup. But itĀ“s far from accurate.
Hi anyone,
I just installed the openweather binding to switch from Darksky due to the Apple acquisition and I found in the documentation that it is possible with the free api to get a forecast for 120 hours equals 5 days.
In post #190
@kugelsicha tells that it should work but unfortunately it does not work for me
My things definition looks like this:
Thing weather-and-forecast local "Wetter und Vorhersage in MyCity" [location="XXX,YYY", forecastHours=96, forecastDays=7]
My items definition looks like this:
Number:Temperature MyCityHourlyForecast48Temperature "Temperature in MyCity in 48 hours [%.1f %unit%]" <temperature> { channel="openweathermap:weather-and-forecast:api:local:forecastHours48#temperature" }
Number:Temperature MyCityHourlyForecast72Temperature "Temperature in MyCity in 72 hours [%.1f %unit%]" <temperature> { channel="openweathermap:weather-and-forecast:api:local:forecastHours72#temperature" }
But I do not see any values in the 48 and 72 forecastHours ā¦
Am I doing something wrong?
Or did the free API change and does not provide forecast data beyond 24 hours anymore? (In that case the documentation is misleading ā¦)
I would kindly appreciate any hint or idea how to get the data (if available)
Thank you
Justus
You donāt normally specify both. The daily will try and fail, I do not know if that will blow up your 48hr channels etc.
From the binding docs -
Attention : The daily forecast is only available for paid accounts
See what your openhab.log has to tell you
Hi @rossko57
I changed forecastDays=0 (see below)
Thing weather-and-forecast local "Wetter und Vorhersage in MyCity" [location="XXX,YYY", forecastHours=96, forecastDays=0]
And after restarting the bundle I got values for 03, 06, 12, 24 but no entries for 48 and 72 ā¦

I do not see the binding in log:get?
How can I set it to DEBUG to see more?
I found the problem!!!
You have to use the geo coordinates given by Openweather Website (e.g. New York): Find - OpenWeatherMap
The geo coordinates are: [40.7143, -74.006]
I used before the geo coordinates from Google: 40.6976684,-74.260556
When putting the geo coordinates from Openweather into the thing definition it works!!!
NEW => WORKS:
Thing weather-and-forecast New York "Wetter und Vorhersage in New York" [location="40.7143, -74.006", forecastHours=96, forecastDays=0]
BEFORE => WORKS NOT:
Thing weather-and-forecast New York "Wetter und Vorhersage in New York" [location="40.6976684,-74.260556", forecastHours=96, forecastDays=0]
