same error here 
every second request fails. anyone?
For information, I deleted the binding from the marketplace as it is now included in the official Eclipse Smarthome distributions and included in openHAB since the version 2.2.
For all users having communication errors, please enable the DEBUG logs for the binding, it should help to identify what is the error.
log:set DEBUG org.eclipse.smarthome.binding.weatherunderground
For information, I just submitted a code change that introduce new channels containing the icon key:

I proposed another enhancement to provide the channel pressureTrend:
Excellentā¦ thank you! If youāre looking for some more, hourly forecast (specifically, Iād like current precip %) and weather alerts would be great to have in the binding!
If I currently have this binding installed, how do I upgrade to the new code that helps fix theā¦

Thanks!
As requested in the git issue, I need you enable DEBUG log to understand what is this communication error.
I have Debug enabled and this is what I am seeing in the log, I fear it doesnāt help much. This happens on every second request and the error is always the same (TimeoutExcption)

Timeout for requests is set to 30 seconds which is already very high I think.
Are you using a WiFi connection ?
Maybe you have network problems like internet not available sometimes not available ?
We can see the 30 seconds delay in the 2 first lines in your logs.
Iām having this exact same issue. I have a Personal Weather Station in Weather Underground. I use the binding to pull data into OH2 using the Weather Underground API. My OH2 is running on a wired connection.
Weatherunderground has API outages from time to time.
I donāt think it has to do with API outages, as there is a strict pattern for the failures. Every second attempt fails, no matter how often those requests are made. I tried different values for the refresh interval, result is always the same.
I am not using a WIFI connection.
I have no errors of this kind in my logs.
Sorry but I have no idea why WU rejects half of your requests. What refresh value did you set ? How many WU things did you create ?
Please note rhat all my changes implemented last weekend should be now included in snapshot 1212. I will confirm when I am at home.
@Lolodomoā¦ what is the procedure to update to the latest version of the WU binding? Iāll give it a try. Thanks
I can confirm that new channels iconKey and pressureTrend are available in openHAB snapshot 1212.
If you want the new version of the binding, you need to move to this snapshot.
I have only one thing with 11 items. My current refresh value is 10 minutes, but as I said I tried several other values to no avail. I know, itās strange, but it seems that Iām not the only one with that problem.
