[RELEASE] Enhanced Weather Underground Driver

@dJOS I am a new user to Hubitat and have installed your driver. I set up the driver as a device to pull from my PWS and placed a weather tile on my dashboard. The tile will not populate the wind speed or direction currently. If I change the tile to an attribute tile for wind speed or wind direction those both work.

Any ideas on things that I can try to correct this? Thanks for the work on the app!

Hi, I’ll look into it. I mainly use the WU integration for weather forecasts and connect HE directly to my PWS for live data.

Thank you for the fast reply. I was unaware that it may be possible for me to connect my PWS to HE directly and will look in to the possibility of doing so.

I have the same issue, and haven't figured it out yet.

Am I missing something or does this driver not expose current weather condition? e.g. rain.

It definitely does:

Strange. My list skips from temperature to windPhraseForecast:

and now several more values have appeared but have null values:

And now the additional values have disappeared.

That data may not be available via WU for you atm? I get blanks for some data on WU when it hasn't rained that day.

TBH, I prefer to hook up my PWS to HE directly for live data. For me WU is mainly used for forecasts and things like cloud cover.

What's an ATM?

How did you create the dashboard tiles in your pic? The only template I see is Weather, which is pretty useless.
New to Hubitat - coming from ST. Thanks.

Oh some of those are from my Netatmo PWS

Hello, I am a total newbe to HE and home automation, I have figured out how to install this driver on my HE, now what lol, is there an app that I am missing? Thanks

You need to add a virtual “device” and then change the driver to the WU driver.

Thank you dJOS, I know this was a really stupid question for the expert's.

All good, I was a HE noob 6 months ago too.

dJOS I have hopefully 1 last question. Where do I find the API key? Thanks

From your weather underground account. You need to have a personal weather station connected before they will give you a key.

Thanks, I've been wanting to get an Ambient Weather Station, is that what you are referring to? But can I still get just the generic weather from WU though, or do I have to have an API key?

Yes, you'll need that for sure.
