In package manager it is telling me there are updates available, but when I try to update it will not let me. I get this message: An error occurred while installing the package: Failed to upgrade driver https://raw.githubusercontent.com/augoisms/hubitat/master/weatherflow/weatherflow.driver.groovy.

Be sure the package is not in use with devices. I disabled tempest in maker api also and did not work. When I looked in the logs it says health check not healthy. Any ideas?

Do a repair on it. If there is an update it will force a download of the app and install.

What version of HPM?

Version 1.8.10. Also I am not sure if this is related or a separate problem, but last week and yeterday I could not access the hub. I tried using the MAC address and it showed the hub, but I could not get in. I have a dedicated ip address. Then when I tried later in the day I was able to get in. Checked the logs and nothing jumped out at me, but I am a novice at best.

Use a DHCP reservation instead. Also next time you can't get to the hub, try going to yourhubip:8081

I noticed this in my logs earlier today… curious if someone else might have seen this or happens to know what might cause it?

Hi all, just trying to confirm - does this drive look locally without an internet connection at broadcasts from the tempest device? Or it also relies on the internet and the WF API? I believe it's the latter, and if so - is there any drive out there that looks locally and doesn't require an external internet connection to hubitat to function?

Thank you so much!

It is not the driver, it it the device. It uses a REST API. While the driver works locally the device itself is not wholly local.

No. This is a cloud integration. It is 100% not local.

Both your Hubitat and the Tempest weather station have to be connected to the internet for data to be received.

If you want a fully local integration, then use this Home Assistant integration:

And then use Home Assistant Device Bridge to bring your Tempest into Hubitat.

If you are looking to run 100% locally with WeatherFlow Tempest you need to collect the UDP broadcast messages from the Tempest and then process them. There is a few downsides is that you lose some of the error processing that WeatherFlow does in the cloud such as Raincheck.

One other downside is you need a external app to collect the UDP since Hubitat doesn't do UDP collection. I am using WeeWx to collect the packets and then re-publishing them as MQTT which Hubitat does handle. Here is a link to my framework device that can be used to bring in MQTT Weatherflow data:

5 posts were split to a new topic: Accessing Wunderground without a weather station

The Wunderground driver does require a key and device. I found an old public key, but still get UNAUTHORIZED for a nearby station

All you need to do is create an account on Weather Underground and get an API key. Then using their website zoom around your area and select a pws id and use it in the weatherunderground driver.

Wunderground no longer gives out API keys to people who don't own a device.

When I did it, I just said I had a device. Have you tried that?

I had the device. But couldn't connect. I needed a valid token.

API keys are free Just sign in then go to profile, then API keys
