This driver has been Deprecated. Once ApiXU was acquired and they reduced the Free account, there's no need to continue developing this driver. Please try the DarkSky driver for most of the same features. I've been interested in the ApiXu driver because it's long been on my list of Large Apps. It's…

OpenWeatherMap is a built in Hubitat driver. It's got far fewer attributes, nothing in the forecast area, for example, but you can just swap drivers to experiment. [16%20AM] You can use OpenWeather and add Luxuriant to get calculated illumination.

[image] csteele: You can use OpenWeather and add Luxuriant to get calculated illumination. Thank you - I'll play around with it. What I'm looking to get is: Illumination Is it currently raining (I have a rule that turns on a dehumidifier if it's raining) I'm wondering if I should just bite…

[image] nh.schottfam: I see apixu got acquired, and they are changing the api and api plans Looks like free edition changes from 10000 requests/month to 1000 per month... https://weatherstack.com/product Yeah they basically screwed non-commercial users. I mean even if there was an option f…

[image] raidflex: same cost as a Netflix subscription for just weather data. I'm looking at Darksky this minute and it's response is OK, but not as comprehensive as ApiXU was. I've always doubted that many people used the obscure elements ApiXU offered, which is why I added on all that Select…

If anyone needs a tester for a DarkSky driver, please let me know! I've got an Ambient Weather WS-1401-IP for my Weather station and I use Weewx. I would be happy with a separate driver for DarkSky if that's available.

Good point.. I didn't search to see if one already existed :frowning: [image] Announcing.. The new Cobra Apps & Drivers Website 🛎️ Get Help Hey @Cobra , So I'm not sure if you noticed, but Weather Underground has discontinued their API. I was really happy with your Custom…

Acquiring the data from DarkSky is working for me, but everything is spelled differently, of course. [11%20PM] There's 7 days of forecast. But instead of 60+ attributes from ApiXU, there's 22. There's a couple of fundamental problems that make 'swap the driver' not much better than swapping to O…

Your Lat/Long can be obtained directly from Hubitat using location.latitude and location.longitude. No need to query for them.

@csteele Just trying to set this up now and apiXU has been aquired by Weatherstack. I have signed up and obtained an API for Weatherstack (as I don't seem to be able to obtain an apiXU API). Out of interest I have tried using this API in the device but it doesn't retrieve any states. Any suggestio…
