If the driver doesn't work out there should be no reason why you cannot continue to use 3.8.0 but revert the Peet Bros driver to the version you were previously using. > Next I have to start reading up on how to include some forecasts.

You can do a simple check with your browser to see if your API key is good and/or if the WU API is working. Just use one of the following URLs in your browser substituting as indicated: WU station ID query (substitute your API key for API_KEY and WU Station ID for STATION_ID): http://api.wunderground.com/api/API_KEY/forecast/q/pws:STATION_ID.json city query (substitute your API key for API_KEY, country for COUNTRY and city for CITY) http://api.wunderground.com/api/API_KEY/forecast/q/COUNTRY/CITY.json lat/long query if you don't have a WU station ID or city to use (substitute your API key for API_KEY, latitude for LAT (- for south) and longitude for LONG (- for west)): http://api.wunderground.com/api/API_KEY/forecast/q/LAT,LONG.json If it all works you should get back a JSON formatted page of data, really doesn't matter what the data is; it will either work and give you some legible data or it will fail.
