You are doing a great job btw and I truly appreciate your work on this application.
Saw an update?? Might it included Netatmo?
Sorry, I came home at 3am this morning and have not got a lot done.
No need to apologize. I should apologize to you. Your apps are quite awesome and you have worked hard to make HE users quite happy with the HE.
Any update?
This app has now been added to 'Cobra Apps'

Does the weatherundergoundcustom app support displaying the weather icons that I has been shown in various threads? If so can someone point at a post for getting this setup to display in the dashboard?
The driver was recently updated to show the correct icon on dashboards inc sharptools.io
As to how to display them, Iām sorry I canāt help with that as I donāt use either.
Andy
Does anywhere in the mess of data it gives you provide the url for the icon on weather underground?
Edit: NM I figured it out...
Hello all. Given the state of WU and their changing API point of view (no more free API) , are there solutions here? I have one of the Ambient Weather 1400 devices and would really like to pull in it's data to HE.
Also, separately @Cobra, I just started playing with your apps since you moved them into the container, but I seem to be having trouble. I have set up Average All, Presence and Weather as follows.
Installed Container, Average All, Presence and Weather parent and child apps into the custom section of HE. Loaded Container into my apps and then used the UI to install the individual parents. Once I drill into any parent to start installing children I get NULL entries as seen here:
Am I missing something?
Once it is saved, it will show the correct settings.
Iām working on this now and will release new versions soon, which basically hides the null entries until the app is saved and they are populated

Yes there are options. Probably the best at the moment is Weewx with a DD-WRT router to redirect. I used Pat O'Brien's method (just option 2, the router part. Stop at the end of the router firewall description. You don't need more than that).
I have an Ambient Weather WS900-IP. it works with Weewx, as will yours, but you need to redirect the WU upload to Weewx via the extra router. You can use an inexpensive router. Just needs to be compatible with DD-WRT. I use the TP-Link models for low demand DD-WRT functions like this.
If you like the Ambient Weather dashboard, this method cuts that off. So you can either buy another observier IP and have one going to Weewx via the router and the other going to Ambient Weather, or you can just forego their dashboard and add a different one. Pat O'Brien recently published a version of his custom dashboard which I really like, but have not had time to dig into that setup. Lots of info to sift through there, but a lot of interest and activity in it, so lots of help there too. Pat is a really nice guy. Very helpful.
And there was a driver that @thomas.c.howard 's son started to write, which I would really like to see grow, but he's not letting his son do side projects until his studies are under control. I wasn't able to get that one to work. So I'm hopeful that will be a good solution for me. I really like the Ambient Dashboard and this would be easier than getting Pat's dashboard going, yet still give me a route into HE.
But, I'm ready for the day WU shuts out owners that have freely shared information with them for so many years. For now, that's what I'm using, but when it shuts down, so too will my upload to their site and I will pipe it through the router to Weewx unless something that suits me more comes along before then.
FWIW, about a month ago I read a posting in the WU community that they were working on offering a free API for PWS owners that upload to them. No mention of how many calls that will include, but I guess they partially recognized their error. Weāll see.
I saw that too, keeping my fingers crossed.
As I use weewx, I only really need a couple of calls a day for forecasting.

Thanks all. Today got away from me. Thought I would get to spend much of it working my conversion from ST. But in the end, just getting back to this.
@SmartHomePrimer Thanks for the detailed write up, I will review and try to work through it ... at some time!
Greetings,
I've noticed twice that I received a "null" in pushover notifications. Today I was able to track it down to the code upgrade notification in the child app of Weather Switch:
app2244 is my Forecast Low child app.
Hi
do you have the switch for pushover messages on in the parent?
Ha!
yes you do.. I've spotted the problem..
AND.. unfortunately it is in all of my apps!
I'll fix it and release new versions of everything over the next few days
Always happy to help make you apps even better!!!
