Yahoo weather

[AWe (Axel)]

I’m using the “binding-weather1 - 1.13.0” to have free access to the Yahoo weather data. Unfortunately, Yahoo has retired the corresponding API yesterday (query.yahooapis.com). Details can be found on the weather related Yahoo developers homepage.

Therefore, I got the following error message:
2019-01-04 12:53:12.402 [ERROR] [org.openhab.io.net.http.HttpUtil ] - Fatal transport error: java.net.UnknownHostException: query.yahooapis.com

Is there another opportunity to have free access to compatible weather data?

Since there are about 600 groups and Items that are needed, I included their creation in the rule too. The script file contains more details. I think this is pretty much final, so I’ll start working on a Habpanel widget! [i…

Same here. I finally looked into why my Yahoo Weather Binding stopped producing results starting last Friday (Jan the 4th) and stumbled across this:

Important EOL Notice: As of Thursday, Jan. 3, 2019, the weather.yahooapis.com and query.yahooapis.com for Yahoo Weather API will be retired. (Source: https://developer.yahoo.com/weather/)

The whole WOEID seems to be gone with it.

@H102 Thanks for the alternative
