Just loaded this up and it's already pulling in almost everything perfectly.
"Weathericons" seems the only thing returning weird data and I'm unlikely to need it, so it's sweet !
Thanks. I'll look at that. Some of the other dashboards look for 'weatherIcons' and they need to be specific values. I'll probably have to map those to the condition codes.

How often does the illuminate value update? Will it update with the interval setup on the "External Source Poll Interval" setting or will it update even more regularly?
This is working well for me. I have to admit, I was confused seeing forecastHigh and forecastLow values following temperature as it dropped tonight. I wrongly assumed they were the forecasted min/max temps for the day. 
Thank you for this driver!

Changes:
- I finally got an alert so I updated the code to properly show that in the MyTile, AlertTile and weatherSummary.
- Capitalized the condition_code displayed.

The NWS alerts and all OpenWeatherMap data will be polled at the same frequency you set for "External Source Poll Interval".
The only nuance on illumination/Lux is it updates the calculation and checks every five minutes to see if it is time to change the polling update frequency between 'Daytime' and 'Nighttime'. No polling in done during this update and check so weather variables used like cloud cover and condition code are not updated in this process. It does the calculation because Lux is dependent on the time of day (% of day from twilight ends to Noon and Noon to twilight begins; the closer to Noon, the higher the Lux returned).

That seems odd to me too. The data available is:
daily.tempdaily.temp.mornMorning temperature. Unit Default: Kelvin, Metric: Celsius, Imperial: Fahrenheit.daily.temp.dayDay temperature. Unit Default: Kelvin, Metric: Celsius, Imperial: Fahrenheit.daily.temp.eveEvening temperature. Unit Default: Kelvin, Metric: Celsius, Imperial: Fahrenheit.daily.temp.nightNight temperature. Unit Default: Kelvin, Metric: Celsius, Imperial: Fahrenheit.daily.temp.minMin daily temperature. Unit Default: Kelvin, Metric: Celsius, Imperial: Fahrenheit.daily.temp.maxMax daily temperature. Unit Default: Kelvin, Metric: Celsius, Imperial: Fahrenheit.
The only thing that may make sense is to do a calculation of the min(morn, day, eve, night) for the forecast minimum and a max(morn, day, eve, night) for the forecast maximum. I'll look at those results tomorrow and see if that may be worth pursing.

I am attempting to get weather data into Hubitat for the first time - as opposed to converting to your driver from something else. A couple questions:
- what do I type in the preference box "Type OpenWeatherMap.org API Key Here *"?
- how do I get a display like njanda showed above?
Once you sign up for a free account at Members, you will be issued an API Key that you will paste in that box. Then you can go through the preferences and select which attributes you would like the device to display. Press save preferences, and those attributes will populate once data is returned.

So, this is different. Around midnight, the forecastHigh and forecastLow updated to realistic values and now update every three to four hours, as one would expect for a daily forecast.
At this point, I wouldn't waste any time on this as it may have sorted itself out. I'll keep watching it.
Thank you

Could you create a version to work with met office?

Happy to be a tester
I probably could, but I will not. Please feel free to adapt the driver to that API on your own.

V0.0.3
04/18/2020
Changes:
- More fixes on Alerts (hard to test this one so perfecting this may take a while).
- Mapped traditional 'condition_code's to condition_code, weatherIcon(s) and forecastIcon for dashboards that use those.
- Various bug fixes and formatting corrections.
Please let me know if see anything that is not working properly and I will attend to it as soon as I am able. Thanks.

Thanks. It is working great now. I set up a separate dashboard to display all of the weather data that is provided through this one device.
