        Try to increase the maxNumberOfDays parameter.
        Actually maxNumberOfDays = 2 means “2 slices of time” and not 2 days with this api, as I said in my first posts (eg: 1 day = 8 x 3h)
        Maybe it will be better by simple use maxNumberOfDays x 8 in the source code

          This corrected version should works with the real maxNumberOfDays (=5 for example)

            So nice work guys! If somebody else can merge your changes with my PR or pushed other PR with theses changes go ahead.

            I’ll prefer to keep the same behavior if API not get 401

              Thanks @roramirez
              Unfortunately it seems that daily API will not come back on the free version (and I guess that 99% percent of MM users use the free version of openweather)

              I created a pull request with the code I posted.

                Where should I configure the parameter maxNumberOfDays ??
                Btw I have a free acount on openweather

                  Sorry it was my mistake.
                  The modul seems to work.
                  I think I copied it in a wrong way.

                    I just pushed a fix to the develop branch that should solve the weather forecast. It’s a bit of a hot fix while we are working on the new weather module.

                    A new master release is planned to be released this weekend, so if you don’t want to install the develop version, hang tight.

                      @MichMich fresh upgrade to 2.1.3 and using the entire sample config does not display the weather. I tried the develop branch and updated it with git pull but does the same. Was this fixed? Do I need a fresh build?
