I have a (free) openweathermap account and try to get temperature forecasts for every hour.
According to the binding docs, the channels are dynamically created when you set step=1 in the API thing (which I did of course), but I’m still only seeing channels for 3-hour-blocks (forecastHours03#temperature, forecastHours06#temperature, forecastHours09#temperature
and so on).
Is that or bug or am I doing anything wrong? Do I need a paid account?
Hi Markus
I have hourly temperature forecast with free account, but only with “One Call API”:
I have not touched the settings the last years anymore, but this is what I have:
which service did you subscribe to?
The website says the 5 days forecast with 3 hrs step is included in free subscriptions, but it does not say anything about 1-hr step availability.
And it seems I cannot access the onecall API using the bridge Thing that works for standard forecasts (get API 401 error).
Mmhh, interesting –> Free subscription that says “Hourly forecast unavailable”
This is long time ago and I never have changed anything.
But definitively I have 1-hour forecast available for “OneCall API”:
Bridge:
I’m on 5.02
Maybe because of this?
One Call API Version 3.0 **requires payment details (opens new window)**for future forecast information. However, it is possible to set a daily API call limit to 1000 (opens new window), which will avoid charges
Now I remember that I have entered this 1-2 years ago:
That’s maybe the reason you get an error?
Yes, likely so. I subscribed, too, now I get the channels.
So it’s not really possible with a free subscription.
But like you I limited the number of calls to < 1000 so I don’t have to pay if things go wrong for whatever unforeseen reason.
