I meant to reply a while back but was sidetracked. I have looked into using data from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology in the past and have decided not to due to some (seemingly) fairly tight copyright controls/conditions on their publicly accessible products. Refer to their copyright page

I think the problem many are facing is the demise of wunderground's API keys. Sure they work for now, but for how long? There's a thread on their forums about replacing wunderground within the OS Unified Firmware . Maybe

I’ve been messing around with this for a few months. Initially, the external weather offset was always returning a scale of zero because of how it was pulling OWM data, so I brought that service inside the house and updated the OWM code to work better. I also implemented the same thin

I use open sprinkler on the raspberry pi and the Zimmerman method and the previous day's weather is picked up from weather underground using my wunderground key. It works a treat and is using the data from my weather station for the previous day without needing to change anything in weewx. I

There's two methods for weather adjustments. The "Zimmerman Method" only uses historical data (avg temp and humidity from the previous day, and total precipitation from previous and current days), and scales watering times up and down based on that. The Auto Rain Delay uses forecast data only -

Sounds interesting! I use OpenSprinkler but never used the watering calculations - have always wanted to look into it but never have yet. I thought part of the watering calculations are done with forecasted rain for the day. How do you plan to get that forecasting data from weewx? Or are you u
