Open Weather Map Binding not working?

[doc_njt77 (Nate)]

Hi

I am trying to setup the Open Weather Map Binding and have signed up for the free One call API (set the limit to 999) and submitted credit card information. Open Weather is showing my status as Activated.

In OpenHab I added the Open Weather Map Binding Bridge and configured it to point to the API I created within Open Weather Map and the status goes to ONLINE.

I then add the One Call API Weather Forecast Thing and configure it as to below and point to my Open Weather Map account.

When I click Save the status of goes to Unknown then to OFFLINE. This also then causes my Open Weather Binding Bridge to also go OFFLINE.

The OneCall API Weather Forecast Thing is coming back with this error:

Invalid API key. Please see Frequently Asked Questions - OpenWeatherMap for more info.

I have tried other Things associated with the Open Weather Binding but sadly no luck at all.

Has anyone had any luck with this?

Cheers

Nathan

Please post the config of your account thing.

Is yours still working? Mine just stopped, and I have not changed anything.

I have not changed anything.

Open Weather Map (OWM) API 2.5 closing, switch to 3.0 API

I’m sure most of you who are affected have been receiving the emails but I’m just posting this in case someone misses it. OWM is closing down their 2.5 API in June and requiring everyone to migrate to the 3.0 API. Luckily for us the 3.0 API is supported by the openHAB binding. Once you resubscribe to the 3.0 API (it requires a separate subscription) you simply need to switch to the 3.0 API in the Open Weather Map Account Thing. I didn’t need to change the API key. YMMV.

Thank you @sihui. I did what you suggested last week. I did give them my CC and logged in and out. I have received an email from them confirming this. I am running openHAB 3.3.0 and have been stable for a long time. After some testing, I found calls to openweathermap:weather-and-forecast:f7e2c79590:locall works ok but calls to openweathermap:onecall:f7e2c79590:local does not. I will continue my investigation and let you know what I find. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. Cheers.

I am running openHAB 3.3.0

If you don’t have an option in your OWM Thing to switch to api version 3.0, your openHAB version is too old.
Only newer binding versions are able to switch from 2.5 to 3.0.

Thank you, @sihui. Time to migrate to 4! Wish me luck.

Even that might not make all the troubles go away. I am on 4.2.2 and using API 3.0, and for the the second time within two weeks I noticed it just stops updating. Disabling and enabling the OpenWeatherMap Account makes it wake up again.
