[RELEASE] Enhanced Weather Underground Driver

The icons are from the Hubitat community repo on GitHub. I think they were originally made for the OpenWeather integration

Thanks, I had to laugh. I enabled the enhanced icons and it looked great until snow cleared and we were left with wind and 0 degrees, Blowing leaves brings to mind a crisp fall afternoon.

I agree, there is a mismatch there. It’s a shame there’s no easy way to implement seasons for this. :thinking:

I’ll dig into it when I have time and see if there are any non-seasonal options.

Related question. I have a dashboard link tile to all of my weather info. I'd like to use a URL to display the current weather icon on that link tile. That would have to come directly from the source that updates the weather underground device tile because it is dynamic and changes. The link from the device Forecast Today icon is for the currently displayed icon. The link changes when the icon is changed.

All the images are hosted on my GitHub repository. The WU device calls them based on a weather code from WU that matches the numbering of the images.

There’s an HTML icon tile for each day that is updated, but I’m not sure how you could use this as a background.

That updates the Forecast Today icon URL to whichever icon image is appropriate for the day. Would there be a way to create an icon image copy with a static URL that provides an image that is auto updated to the current Forecast Today icon?

Not easily, no. The device driver would need to pull the correct file down to the hub, delete the old one, and the rename the new one.

I don’t think it’s worth the effort TBH.

Error. "Invalid response structure from WU". This has been working. Any idea if there is a change at weather underground or if it is a temporary glitch on their end? My weather station account seems normal in all other respects.

I see these every now and again myself, it’s at the WU end.
