[SOLVED] ForecastIO Temperature Super High

Setup, Configuration and Use Beginners
1

Hi guys,

I finally got forecasteIO to pull data, and its showing in the dashboard, but its almost not quite double what the temperature actually is! What am I missing that is doubling or nearly doubling the temperature here?

  • Platform information:
    • Hardware: Virtual - 2 core, 3GB RAM
    • OS: Linux Mint
    • Java Runtime Environment: which java platform is used and what version
    • openHAB version: 2.3.0
  • Issue of the topic: Forecast IO Returning High Temperature
  • Please post configurations (if applicable):

Hey, alright I fixed it! So Apparently since I already defined the units I want (Fahrenheit) via the weather.cfg file by setting the .units property to us, when I also set it to Fahrenheit in the .items file here:
unit=fahrenheit"}

caused it to double convert to fahrehnheit I guess?

Removing the unit=fahrehnheit from my items file fixed the issue!
