Weather Underground API Free !!! #3

Open Dancopy opened 5 years ago

Dancopy commented 5 years ago

If I'm not mistaken, Weather Underground no longer provides free APIs; so what is the solution for this version of code? Thank you

@Dancopy...sorry for the (extremely late) reply...I missed your comment somehow and just saw it. Since I don't support this older version, I don't pay close attention to issues/comments like I should.

As you note, WeatherUnderground has not provided a free API for almost two years now. I have re-written as much of the functionality as I could in v17 for OpenWeatherMap, posted here: (https://github.com/fowlerk/ESP8266-Color-Weather-Station-v17)

Note that this is MUCH pared-down functionally due to the limitations of the OpenWeatherMap data. I'm really not at all happy with OWM as a service and plan to re-write it using another weather service provider when I can find some time to do so.

If you should elect to try out v17, pay close attention to the core and library versions noted. I believe there is a bug that was introduced with one of the later iterations of the Adafruit GFX library, so you'll need to use the version noted in the README to get it to compile correctly.
