Open Weather Map

Strugglingh to get Open Weather Map working

(1) I'm using the API request it works perfectly

Code: Select all

http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=London,uk&APPID=e728704791cxx76b951643f5fba9f80

When using the same in Domoticz it just failed !!

Code: Select all

 2023-03-24 22:03:50.605 Error: OpenWeatherMap: Error getting http data!
2023-03-24 22:04:57.271 Status: OpenWeatherMap: Worker stopped...

What am I doing wrong ?

Run Domoticz with the NORMAL debug flag enabled `—debuglevel normal` to see what is happening.

If you have a recently created API key, it currently does not work with the OpenWeatherMap module as they have changed the API keys authorization and it is NOT valid anymore for the ‘onecall’ API version 2.5 that is used by the module.

Ok that is a new created API. So what are the alternative ?

Same problem with Onecall v3., old keys still working.
Did you finally find an alternative to OWM in Domoticz ? Darksky is dead as expected.

[pipiche]

Shall we report it as a DomoticZ issue?
In reality the plugin doesn’t work if you have new created Key

[mgugu]

Yes, this is a Domoticz issue for all new OWM users.
May be a version option, v2.5 or v3, with default at v2.5 could be added in the plugin to allow both old and new keys.

Following this topic, because I have the same issue. Using the latest Beta version and newly created API keys from Open Weather map.

Thank you @pipiche. I can see it is a quite old issue (Sep 2022).

Try this code

Code: Select all

	
	return {
	on = {
		timer = {
			'every 6 minutes' -- just an example to trigger the request
		},
		httpResponses = {
			'OpenWeathertrigger' -- must match with the callback passed to the openURL command
		}
	},
	logging = {
		level = domoticz.LOG_INFO,
		marker = 'template',
	},
	
	
	execute = function(domoticz, item)
	
	domoticz.openURL({
				url = 'https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?&lang=ru&lat=57.6299&lon=39.8737&appid=<YOUR ACTIVE API KEY>',  
				method = 'GET',
				callback = 'OpenWeathertrigger', -- see httpResponses above.
			}).afterSec(5)
			
	end

And you had to now that the answer is in JSON, not http

May be because of that you are getting the error - "2023-03-24 22:03:50.605 Error: OpenWeatherMap: Error getting http data!"
