Hey, precipitation and cloud-cover is included in the last release v1.1.0!
The current infos aren't direct measurements, as these aren't available as far as I can see. The only option to get hourly updated values is by downloading a 650MB file which is not practicable.
The "current" values are therefore only the current hourly forecast data, which are updated by the DWD every 6 hours.
I was hoping I could avoid a local weather station. Current precipitation and cloud-cover are quite important to my setup and need to be current and accurate. Right now I use brightsky.dev which also sources the DWD information. It seems to be more current, but is also only updated every hour. All other services I checked are very current but not very accurate. I guess I won't get around my own weather station :(
If the accurcy of values are important for you, I guess this is the only option. Unfortunately, forecasts can never be so accurate that you can substitute a real sensor. But a weather station is a cool project. I am also planning to build my own.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. As far as I can see, the dwd also supplies values for current percipitation and current Cloud-Cover.
Would be great if your component would supply these as well.
Also more a question: how often is the current info updated?
