one call api open weather

@sdetweil - Sam, I know you don’t have the answer either. I guess I was partly venting, and partly trying to be complete so that others who are having issues or questions can see that various of you and us have tried to work this through.

I’m trying to convert from MMM-OpenWeatherForecast to something else, but Openweather is confusing me with the API subscription.

at one point, it’s saying 1000 free, then others, it says every call is $.15 – what’s really going on and how to sign up the right way to get the free?

[sdetweil]

@BKeyport 1000 calls per day, no faster than 1.44 minutes between , then something extra over that.

I think the onecall api and key is the only thing. requires a credit card.

@sdetweil I understand that.

clicking that link sends me to a page that details out a payment plan of:

0-1 used
$0.15 per unit
2+ used
$0.15 per unit

[sdetweil]

@BKeyport I click subscribe and see

per 100 calls 0.15 (0.0015/call × 100 calls)

same situation here. I like the above module but I don’t want to subscribe to the new openweather api.

First alternative was the mm weather module because it has several providers so you can switch easily. But the design is so far away from MMM-OpenWeatherForecast …

So next approach was to use the data from mm weather for an own module with better UI.

Thats the current output:

It is still a beta version and not published yet.

Another approach could be to extend the mm weather module with configurable njk templates and the cool skycons (which can be animated) …
