To get the event log entries, you need to find the events.log file, as I’m not sure where that’s located in openhabian. Then find the entries for your item WCF_Day0_Night_WindSpeed.
To get the binding version, access the console, then run this command:
list -s | grep weathercompany
The result would look similar to this (but with a 2.5 version number):
213 │ Active │ 80 │ 3.0.0.202011012052 │ org.openhab.binding.weathercompany
My events.log file is empty.
Here the version information of the binding weathercompany:
297 │ Active │ 80 │ 2.5.10.202011012102 │ org.openhab.binding.weathercompany
Hmm. I don’t know what to say about that…
Try this from the console.
smarthome:items list | grep WCF_Day0_Night_WindSpeed
that works 
WCF_Day0_Night_WindSpeed (Type=NumberItem, State=3.599994240006911596313921474304011 km/h, Label=WindSpeed, Category=wind)
Ok, good. But since the forecast changes, I’ll need the response from the API and the item’s value at the same time. The forecast you posted above is now 3 hours old.

I think the value is now correct. Because 1.0 * 3.6 is 3.5999… and thats ok
Ok, then this looks correct.
The API is returning this “windSpeed”:[null,1.0,3.0,2.0,4.0,3.0,3.0,2.0,2.0,1.0,1.0,2.0], which means the Day0 Night Wind Speed is 1.0 meters/s.
The item is showing this 3.599994240006911596313921474304011 km/h, which given the conversion factor of 3.6, is the correct km/h for 1.0 meters/s
The fix is already in 3.0 as PR8944. I just need to submit it for 2.5.x
Thanks for your patience working thru this.
Submitted for 2.5.x
Many thanks for your help
I am running OH3 my Precipitation Rate is showing 0.0000000 mph. How can I change this to in/hr?
Appreciate the new binding.
Thank you
The documentation shows it in the example items.
Number:Speed WC_PWS_PrecipitationRate "Precipitation Rate [%.2f in/h]" <rain> { channel="weathercompany:weather-observations:myaccount:myobservations:currentPrecipitationRate" }
I see this, but I don’t know where to put it. Thanks
Can anyone tell me where to put this to fix my Precipitation Rate.
Number:Speed WC_PWS_PrecipitationRate “Precipitation Rate [%.2f in/h]” { channel=“weathercompany:weather-observations:myaccount:myobservations:currentPrecipitationRate” }
Thanks
You habe to put this in your items file. In the openhab folder you have a subfolder items. In this folder items you can define the items files. See also the documentation: items
I installed my PWS and the binding 2 weeks ago. Now I see that the data for wind gusts are very often exactly the same. I visualise these values via Grafana and all gusts dots are always on the same height.
Is this a problem of my PWS, the API or the binding?
Here are some values selected from InfluxDB:

The values in the database for wind speed do also not match the answer from the API
Assuming your region in openHAB uses metric units of measure…
API returns values in imperial units (miles per hour):
“windGust”:8.1
Which will be converted to metric by openHAB if your region uses metric units of measure. 8.1 mph converted to kilometers per hour:
