Domoticz

I'm running Domoticz 2024.4 and I'm still lost with OWM

When using the URL http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/ ... PID=xxxxxx. it works well.

If I put the APIKEY in the OpenWeatherMap Hardware plugin I'm always getting the error message

"OpenWeatherMap: Error getting http data!"

From what I understood , the APIID that I'm using is working on API 2.5 and not API 3.0. Is Domoticz only able to work with 3.0 ? and that is why I'm getting this error ?

Are you subscribed on API 3.0 plan in OWM ?

It seems that Dz supports only apis of free plan.

What if you try to make api 3.0 call from dzvents script?

Hi all,

Has somebody found a clarification?
The same happens for me... If I use "https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5 ... &appid=xxx" in a browser, I got a correct JSON information.
However if I configure the openweathermap plugin with the same coordinates, api_key and API version 2.5, I got the error "Error getting http data!"

Btw I used it without any problem since a long time, but migrated recently to 2024.7 version.

So very strange.

OW blocking some IPs so may be your browser is under VPN and DZ is not?

As for me I'm usung dzvents script for getting data from OW

Both are on the same network... So should not give a difference.

***Update*** Just tried with CURL on the Raspberry running Domoticz and it works also... So seems not any blocking IP address...
curl "https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5 ... appid=xxxx"

Finally solved and the only way is to add a subscription.
I subscribed and defined the max. API calls to 1000 so that there is no risk to exceed the "free" limit...
Drawback: credit card information is used...
