Binding documentation is not yet available in docs.openhab.org (will be probably soon) but you can find it here https://github.com/eclipse/smarthome/blob/master/extensions/binding/org.eclipse.smarthome.binding.weatherunderground/README.md
Sorry, but following the format in the README still gives me this:
CurrentIcon -> weatherunderground:weather:d85a4934:current#icon
ForecastIcon -> weatherunderground:weather:d85a4934:forecastToday#icon
ForecastIcon2 -> weatherunderground:weather:d85a4934:forecastDay2#icon
ForecastIcon1 -> weatherunderground:weather:d85a4934:forecastTomorrow#icon
openhab> smarthome:items list |grep Icon
CurrentIcon (Type=ImageItem, State=NULL, Label=Icon, Category=null)
ForecastIcon (Type=ImageItem, State=NULL, Label=Forecast icon, Category=null)
ForecastIcon1 (Type=ImageItem, State=NULL, Label=Forecast icon, Category=null)
ForecastIcon2 (Type=ImageItem, State=NULL, Label=Forecast icon, Category=null)
What am I missing?
Thanks.
Are you running OH snapshot 992 ?
Yes I am.
Actually, I just installed snapshot 993. Completely removed and reinstalled openhab2, with a new instance of weatherunderground as well. Reran discovery and updated the links in my weatherunderground.items file and now have the icons. Donât know exactly what was wrong, but something must have collided during the transition from the market binding to the distribution version. Thanks for your help.
Thank you Kai
I use the binding and find it great.
Would it be possible to add the channel for âstorm and thunder alarmâ (in GERMAN âUnwetterwarnungâ)?
Thank you so much

Hi
Iâm using latest snapshot together with weather1-binding and rotini:
For current and forecast-conditions the commonId is expected:
http://docs.openhab.org/addons/bindings/weather1/readme.html#common-id
Tried to change now to the new weather underground binding, but it seems that this is not supported, right? Any ideas to implement this? And secondâŠhow to use the item âiconâ? Itâs not possible to use it in BasicUI, isnât it?
Thanks
Michael
Yes, commonId is not implemented. It is not in the Yahoo Weather too. If I am right, commonId was mainly used to display an icon ? We started a discussion on how in ESH we could have an iconset for weather bindings ⊠but the discussion is pending. Maybe the commonId should be considered.
For the weather conditions icon, you can use an Image item to display it in UI.
Thank you for the binding. I have been using OH1 WU binding, and have things and items files set up with that. The terminology all looks the same, but when i install the OH2 WU binding with those config files (uninstall the OH1 binding too), the Thing does not show up in PaperUI. Are there any changes I need to make in the config files when moving from OH1 WU binding to OH2 WU binding? (The sample configs looked similar.) Thank you.
Oh yes, the setup of the binding is very different. Please consult the new binding documentation.
Ok, I will look over some more. I had thought the demo things and items files looked the same to what i had.
ie, my thing starts
Thing weatherunderground:weather:wilton "Wilton, CT" [ apikey="XXXX", location="12345", language="EN", refresh=15 ] {
Channels:
Type temperature : current#temperature [ SourceUnit="F" ]
Type windSpeed : current#windSpeed [ SourceUnit="mph" ]
Type windSpeed : current#windGust [ SourceUnit="mph" ]
Type pressure : current#pressure [ SourceUnit="inHg" ]
...
I believed we would like to use OH 1 weather config with the OH 2 bonding⊠Not possible.
If you have an old WU OH 2 binding, only few channels have changed.
Thanks for the help. I am on the latest snapshot, and have the 2.2 snapshot binding for WU installed. It just wont initiate, using files or the PaperUI. Anyone see an issue with my .things and .items files?

Sorry to bother. thanks
Note that there was a problem with snapshot 1012, WU binding and Sonos bindings were not started.
thanks, having many issues with snapshots, so going back to 2.1 stable for a while.
Ok, i have gone over each line, and this one seems to throw off everything, and removing it allows the data to flow into my other items. I dont use it anyway, but just what i found. Thanks again.

Hi, Im Tryng to install the WU binding. I have the IOT marketplace installed in Paper UI. However Im unable to actually load the binding i get a 404 error flash up in the bottom right of the paper UI. if i click on the binding to go to the documentation i get a GitHub 404.
Are the links broken, is there a simple way way to install the WU Binding.
Thanks
The doc was probably a link to my git branch. This branch was removed after the binding was included in ESH official repo.
Official binding can now be found in OH 2.2 snapshots and its relative documentation can be found here http://docs.openhab.org/addons/bindings/weatherunderground/readme.html
There are changes with the version I initially pushed in the marketplace.
