Weather Underground Plugin Error

[ctgreybeard]

I got a response from them and there is a new API but it only available for PWS system contributors as well as corporate account holders. That doesn't make it generally useful but I am going to rework the weatherunderground code to account for the new API. At least it will be useable for those of us that submit PWS data.

It may take a while but I'll submit a pull request when I have it done.

It happened also to me, and I've never had this issue before. I suppose it is related to Wunderhround shutting down its old free API keys.

Jepp, looks like it's time to mitigate to dark sky. Should we remove wunderground from the readme (keep the code but print a warning if the response is empty)?
I think nobody likes to pay for a weather service when good free alternatives exist.

the other weather services are not able to send "solar radiation data" :-(

[ctgreybeard]

I still use weather underground as a paying member but experienced this this morning due, probably, to some slightly corrupted data. This should NOT crash Homebridge whether the data is good or bad. I don't think the discussion of the status of weather underground is relevant, it is the error/crash that should be addressed. No program that pulls external data should crash like this. It should gracefully handle it.

I'm experiencing this error too, and got a paid subscription. I'm seeing now that there's a mainteinance interruption, maybe it's this the reason it's crashing?
Anyway, I'm absolutely agree with ctgreybeard. NO PLUGIN SHOULD CRASH for this reason. Please awaiting for fix.
thank you

Well, they finally shut the API down. WU is officially dead I guess. End of Service for the Weather Underground API
