Apixu.com worldwide weather data with outside lux. No PWS or server setup

Hi, thank you for your efforts. The driver is working. Now how can I get (if it is possible) a single Tile in a Dashboard with a resume of the gathere infos and some graphics?

Search this thread for 'mytile'.

I'm not so lazy… I evidently am so old :smile:
I did'nt find!
Thanks it is working now.

@josh i will come back to this next weekend.

@damon.dinsmore thanks … pushing a release with this fix.

Just downloaded the driver and installed. When I go to input my API key and save I get a 500 error in hubitat. Am I doing something wrong?

Nevermind Got it working user error

I am wondering if anyone gets this problem with this weather.....I would like to have some of my indoor lights come on when the lux is below a value outside (ie: rainy day) and today it is has been rainy all day but my ApiXU says that it is Sunny. The destination is correct. Anybody else get this?

Are your logs showing that ApiXU is running and polling successfully?

I don't know what your Zip is, but using 'L0P' I get:

You can 'manually' get the JSON data the driver receives by pasting your Key and Zip over the corresponding words of this:

which is different than what is showing in HE. Also, it isn't sunny here. It is cloudy. The logs shows that it is polling Apixu but it doesn't show the same data.

since some of you seem to be straddling ST and HE here is the ST version:

instead of using zip code try lat,long. here is more details on the allowed values:

Definitely want to say thanks. This gives me some of my weather back from ST/Action Tiles.
I do have a question. I signed up for APIXU free and it gives API for a 7 day forcast. Is there any way to see that?

since no one had asked for it wasnt publishing the 7 day forecast. since the driver now supports selective publishing i guess i could add those to the selection list to publish or not.

Sweet!
If you can, that would be great.

All I need now if to figure out how to get a couple weather maps to update

I would also love for the feels like temp to work again :slight_smile:

Try feelslike_f or feelslike_c.

feelsLike is used by the weather tile in SharpTools.io and the new method of publishing attributes doesn't have an option for feelsLike (or wind).

The fix is simple enough. Just add those two attributes to the attributesMap... so I'm sure Bangali will fix it. :grinning:

@bangali Using the Longitude, Latitude seems to correct the issue. It seems to now update. Thanks!

Perhaps I missed it, but is there any way to hide the "ApiXu Weather" text on the mytile attribute tile when it's displayed in a dashboard?

Do you mean the device name? I just call mine weather so that's what shows up. I don't think you can turn off the device name in any dashboard.
