Accu weather no readings on devices

Post by pijpjps »

Hello,
I'm completely new on Domoticz. My first project is already a problem. I try to read accuweather in Domoticz but can't get any reading on the installed sensors. I've a API key and installed a dummy hardware with 3 virtual sensors. What do I've to install or configure more?
Or must I use an other weatherchannel?

Domoticz has native support for Accuweather.
You should not use virtual sensors for Accuweather.

So remove your virtual sensors, you created for Accuweather.
Go to Setup > Hardware and select Accuweather in the drop-down list.

Do not forget to enable "Accept new hardware" in Setup > Settings

Hello,
Thanks for your answer but I've still no sensors.
I see no temperature, weather sensors.
Do I've the wrong API key?
I saw a screenshot with several sensors on the dashboard.

Hi, @pijpjps,

I don't think that someone on this forum can answer that question.

However if you search on this forum you will find:

viewtopic.php?f=12&t=32234&p=252429&hil ... er#p252429

Important line can be:
Also the longitude, latitude must be reversed from the description next to it.
Can you try that?

Not sure if AccuWeather is still available for free, but try OpenWeatherMap as it is free and Domoticz has also native support for it.

The current Beta version of Domoticz has an extensive update on OpenWeatherMap giving you all kinds of info and forecast data. Give it a try.

One RPi with Pi foundation standard touch screen to display Dashticz
