Open Weather Map

I've created a virtual device and put my API plus gps coordinates so the device populates the current weather. However its only the current conditions available.

Is this a limitation of the device driver or is it because im on the free plan? Was hoping to either grab current day forecast or rainfall data.

I am also considering my own weather station (ecowitt or my own esp8266 based setup) but prefer cloud forecast/history

Try the driver here: OpenWeatherMap-NWS-Alerts-Weather-Driver

Thanks. That seems to be what I'd like.

I can't see on the wiki where it states the variable descriptions but I am assuming... If you know then please correct me.. Otherwise I'll either observe if it makes sense or follow this up where the driver is discussed (either forum or check github more.

Forecast high = Max for the current day so a check in the morning will say what the high will be for that day.
Rain today = rain so far that day (rather than expected rain for the day)
Forecast today = the current days expected weather so if it says rain in it then it'll likely rain.

Itโ€™s been a while since I looked at it, what youโ€™re saying sounds right.
