Recommendations to Replace Darksky API

[tmh88]

Now that Apple have purchased Darksky and they have announced API support will end in 2021. can anyone recommend a free to use API?

Thanks

Try OpenWeatherMap https://openweathermap.org/api - I've just set it up on my system.

Try using city and country code instead of lat/lon coordinates. Even though the Domoticz interface hints you can use coordinates, and the OWM allows you to do so, the implementation in Domoticz is broken.

So use, for instance: amsterdam,nl

I just found that you can actually use coordinates, but you have to format them like this:

lat=52.356485&lon=4.993455

Hi! I'm just putting in my first baby steps into the world of domotica, and have only my smart meter (p1) just attached to my raspberry...Which API key is recommended to request into the domotica hardware device? Is there a tutorial where I can follow some steps? The (free) options are: Current weather data and One Call api..

Thanks in advance!

Of all the different 'free' weather services, it seems that Open Weather Map is one of the last remaining really free ones (for personal use at least).

As the current Open Weather Map implementation in Domoticz was not optimal and not using the latest API's, I created a updated version (see this Pull Request). If/once approved, it will make its way into the next beta version and hopefully some time later into the main version.

Feel free to add comments/suggestions/bugreports/etc.
