Hi all,
I am running OpenHAB in Release 2.5.10 on a docker container on an x86_64 NAS system. The OpenWeatherMap binding is running in this version
251 │ Active │ 80 │ 2.5.11.202010251508 │ openHAB Add-ons :: Bundles :: OpenWeatherMap Binding
And I am experiencing that not all channels of the hourly forecast values from the free-API are populated with values. See for example the channels for the ConditionId which I am using for a simple, optical symbol based 3-day weather forecast. I am updating my weather icons based on the ConditionIdevery 2 hours by rule that reads the ConditionId from the appropriate ForecastXXConditionId channel every 2 hours to reassign the symbol to have the latest version of the weather condition for the next 3-days.
But this does not work because - as you can see from the data below not all hours receive a value for the channel item. But all item definitions look the same and they are obviously correct because almost the half of the channels get a correct value while the others stay NULL.
Is this normal behaviour?
Does anyone else experience something similar?
And does anyone know if there is a way to initiate the correct population of all the values?

EDIT:
I found in the binding documentation that the hourly forecasts in steps of 3 hours
Is this fix or can I choose a different step interval?
This would explain why not all channels are populated … I will try this out …
But still "Thank you for any other hint or idea!
Cheers
