      @mattkab Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll give it a try.

        @FlatPepsi - To be fair, DarkSky has been pushing that date back every so often. I think originally it was going to terminate on 1 December 2022.

          Found an article that there is a developer who is providing a replacement api for darksky which is called Pirate Weather.
          If i read correctly it should be a plugin-in replacement for Darksky and only the URLs in the modules need to be changed as the same data structures are used.
          As i do not use any Darksky modules i did not test it but i found it interesting and it might be worth looking at it.

            and it might be worth looking at it

            can you open an issue on github for this?

            The darksky api is already removed on develop but it should be discussed if we use this replacement instead.

                Also worth noting that OpenWeatherMap has an API that is really close in format. They have a guide on migrating:

                  openweathermap is already a provider of the default weather module.

                  Pirate Weather will come as replacement for Dark Sky with next mm release.
