Wunderground API Usage alert

1

Recently I have started getting Usage Alerts

My location config is set as

weather:location.home-Wu.name=Ellington Way
weather:location.home-Wu.latitude=28.000000
weather:location.home-Wu.longitude=-82.00000 
weather:location.home-Wu.provider=Wunderground
weather:location.home-Wu.language=en
weather:location.home-Wu.updateInterval=20

and I have 12 items defined for this location

How can I be hitting 500 calls a day?

Ok I did the math… 12 items every 20 mins is 3 times per hour x 12 x 24 = 864 calls per day

so I reduced the number of items to 6 x 3 x 24 = 432 and I am STILL getting the warnings

I restarted openhab (1.8)

I reduced the number of items to 3 and restarted openhab

I am still getting daily warnings.

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS??

Please!

Ok I figured it out, I had show a co-worker my config and he accidentally use my API key

I regenerated my API key and updated the setting in openhab.cfg

That’s a nice one :grinning:

Yes but it seems after changing my api key there is something cached in OH (1.8) and now the weather no longer works!
