It may be minimal but it pairs nicely with the upcoming Dashboard v2 release (soon) image

This data is pulled from a WU device but you could use any weather device (Apixu?)

Nice teasing. :slight_smile:

Is the Open Weather app now embedded within one of the other apps or pulled from the Built in list?

I have a C5 (2..0.6.112) and it’s not listed under Add Built-In App (there are 28 apps listed there)

The clue is in the name..
Open Weather Driver.

You need to create a new virtual device and use the OWM driver

Fair enough. Still getting used to the paradigm shift... I’m used to a model where the App is always the starting point for creating (virtual) devices.

ie. The driver components are buried in the App

10 years of Vera (and a few of openHAB) must have cooked my brain.

I’ll get used to having the dual entry points eventually :slight_smile:

Yea, the vast majority came from somewhere/something else and have all that previous terminology stuck in our heads.

Well over half the time, I create the Virtual device, THEN remember I didn't add the driver code. I end up setting the virtual to some placeholder then add the driver code.

I have the virtual device setup with the API key from Open Weather Map, I'm getting "area" information transmitted.

My question is regarding uploading my PWS to get actual weather info directly to them linked to my API key, I'm not code smart, and looked on their website while logged in, and could not understand how to make this happen.

Anyone have a dumbed down explanation on how to link my PWS to the Open Weather Map API key?
