Right. OWM is more of a drop in replacement so I'm leaning that way. Still, this all requires me to get some spare time and a full night's sleep. Newborns aren't very cooperative with their parents hobbies :-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx

For me, I have API keys that I keep track of, acquire when needed. It's a one off thing. OWM can use your coordinates which may produce better results for some. For example, I've lived where you picked a distant city for a forecast, unless you knew the local airport code. They seem to have a 7 da

Yes, I agree some parts of my question are answered (and I already know that partapologies if I did not make myself clear) by a Google search. I have no problem (I hope - fingers crossed) with the hardware part ...rather it is software part (and specifically the Weewx part) that concerns me

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Changes with Belchertown skin & DarkSky

I understand your point and that's why I keep flip flipping. I like the idea of no API key to maintain. OWM is more of a drop in replacement which makes migrating the skin a bit easier. YR would require unit conversions, xml parsing (small rewrite since I'm parsing json today) and yr doesn't

Sure OWM still a respectful service. I will not "kick the dead body" further, but it puzzles me why not YR. Not for the many reasons posted above, but as YR offers much more real data at no restrictions, API, or plans - and consistent, no charge now or ever. It could be an opportunity to built

You are using the extended schema for v4, which already has appTemp in it. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/weewx/weewx/master/bin/schemas/wview_extended.py Part of the reason for the bigger/extended default schema in v4 is so you don't have to add frequently added things any more :-) -- You
