Yahoo weather provider fixed #91

Hello benjymous.

are you still working on the community edition? I didn't saw any updates from your side lately. Nevertheless, yahoo has shut down the free of charge placefinder API. I fixed the code to use the non commercial yahoo tables API. Here is my commit comment:

Changed code to use the yahoo tables API Lookup is limited to 2000 queries per day, but should be enough if each metawatch user gets an own internet IP But may be better to add an other free weather provider for the long term

Will you update the community edition on the Play Store or did you stop working on Metawatch?

Bye

Matthias

A workaround is to use Weather Underground instead of Yahoo weather. You only need to sign up for an API key.

I know. But it's not working anymore here in Germany.

Have you tried contacting Wunderground in Germany to find out why it's not working? It may simply be a fault. I have a sophisticated weather station which provides a direct real time feed to Wunderground, part of a huge worldwide community of such people. I'd be surprised and disconcerted to hear that Wunderground had withdrawn their service in such s major world power as Germany. So now I'm keen to know what's happening.
