Instruction on adding Weather Devices

@Lakecrest

ere requirements on the API key as stated for the open weather driver?

There are specific API key requirements as indicated by @Matthew for his community OpenWeatherMap driver. These requirements do not exist for the built-in driver.

Wow I seem to be going in circles. So to recap:

• Weather underground requires a PWS
• OpenWeatherMap-Alerts Weather Driver requires a paid subscription for an API key is needed
• Open Weather built-in weather app has only basic weather info

I guess the weather tile is but on hold for now.... Time to jump over to my other string on how to get my zigbee outlet to work.

There are other weather integrations from @Matthew. Perhaps one of them provides the information you want for free.

But in general, weather information is moving toward a paid model. Many of us run a PWS that integrates with Hubitat.

Some folk have been able to setup a fake Netatmo PWS to get an API key. It seems a little hit and miss tho.
