UV Index #436

Open nikordaris opened 1 year ago

nikordaris commented 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. As a parent, I'm constantly checking the UV Index in the summer to assess the sunscreen situation for protecting the kids.

Describe the solution you'd like UV Index should be treated just like Temperature and Rain/Snow and shown alongside these to help people prepare for the outside environment. So an icon indicating low, moderate, high and extreme UV conditions. And visualizing that hourly to know when the UV will be high so you can plan your day when the UV is low.

I love this idea. Do you have an integration that provides uv forecasts? Openweathermap does not offer that data. If there are weather integrations that offer the data in their forecasts, I'd be happy to add option to display it.

I'm not sure if there is a public API but AccuWeather shows UV Index by hour

DailyForecasts.AirAndPollen seems to be the thing that holds UV values. https://developer.accuweather.com/accuweather-forecast-api/apis/get/forecasts/v1/daily/1day/%7BlocationKey%7D

I'm not sure what is free vs premium access through the API though.

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/openuv/ - I think it only offers forecast for the day though.

Unfortunately, OpenUV doesn't provide forecast data. Just current data. I had opened a HA architecture discussion for giving a more generic forecast entity so we could have things like uv and aqi forecasts. Feel free to comment here: https://github.com/home-assistant/architecture/discussions/879
