I don’t know your samba shares. Above paths are “local paths” on your raspi.

Learning something new everyday. I got it under this location

openhab2org

After opening weather file I can see completely different configs (collection of some settings I tried earlier) which definitely does not match with weather.cfg file I shared earlier.

apikey.OpenWeatherMap="deXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
location.<locationId1>.units="SI"
location.WR.language="en"
location.WR.latitude="47.8011"
location.WR.longitude="13.0448"
location.WR.name="City"
location.WR.provider="OpenWeatherMap"
location.WR.updateInterval="10"
location.myhome.language="en"
location.myhome.latitude="41.576"
location.myhome.longitude="21.570"
location.myhome.name="London,\ GB"
location.myhome.provider="OpenWeatherMap"
location.myhome.units="SI"
location.myhome.updateInterval="15"
location.myhomes.language="en"
location.myhomes.latitude="48.574"
location.myhomes.longitude="14.580"
location.myhomes.name="myhomes"
location.myhomes.provider="OpenWeatherMap"
location.myhomes.updateInterval="1"
service.pid="org.openhab.weather"

Should I correct the content of this file or should this be removed ?

@andy31

You could delete the file weather.config and restart openhab service.

It works now Many thanks.

Now just need to add some additional items to expand on my weather widget.

Will set interval frequency to 60 as it should be fast enough.

Tick the solved mark please. Others maybe find this also helpful. Thanks.

Hi Everyone!

I’ve just started tinkering with weather widgets in OH3.

That page is moved, now you should write a request e-mail to get free API access (for 1 year, no automatic renewal):
API for non-commercial uses
