OpenWeather - excessive calls

[prophet42]

I received this message from OpenWeather: "We have noticed that your account is currently using One Call API quite intensively and exceed the account limit of 1000 calls per day." I am only using it for this homebridge plugin. Does that seem accurate? Is there a way to limit the calls? Thanks!

Can u post your plugin config (without api key) please?

Hi. Sure, I have pasted it below. I've uninstalled Weather Plus for now, as I could not resolve it. I tried generating a new API key, in case someone somehow got ahold of my key and was using it for something else, but that did not help. OpenWeather let me know that I went from about 360 calls per day to about 8600 calls per day on Dec. 20. I did not make any changes to my config at that time. Thanks for your help.

    {
        "platform": "WeatherPlus",
        "service": "openweathermap",
        "key": "APIkey",
        "locationGeo": [
            49.25657395,
            -122.89168239
        ],
        "conditionCategory": "detailed",
        "forecast": [
            0
        ]
    },

I am having the same issue and received the same email, nothing in my configuration has changed.

    {
        "units": "us",
        "interval": 5,
        "stations": [
            {
                "nameNow": "Winter Park",
                "service": "openweathermap",
                "key": "xyzzy",
                "locationCity": "Fraser, CO, US",
                "language": "en",
                "compatibility": "home",
                "conditionCategory": "detailed",
                "now": true,
                "extraHumidity": false,
                "tresholdAirPressure": 1050,
                "tresholdCloudCover": 3,
                "tresholdUvIndex": 6,
                "tresholdWindSpeed": 10
            }
        ],
        "platform": "WeatherPlus"
    },

I received also the eMail just yesterday at 23:51 that I have exceeded 1000 calls per day 🤷🏼‍♂️

_One Call API usage alert

We have noticed that your account is currently using One Call API[https://openweathermap.org/api/one-call-api] quite intensively and exceed the account limit of 1000 calls per day._

Config (see below) is set to call every 5 minutes - means 288 times in 24h I started to use it on Oct. 18 to Nov. 22, then a break (raspi down) and again from Dec. 13 Version is still 3.2.2 on HB 1.2.4 No issues so far - except the 1000 exceed mail. Will keep it running / monitoring.

Is there a possibility to get a more detailed log ? When it was triggered and with wich result?

{ "units": "si", "interval": 5, "stations": [ { "nameNow": "WWWeather", "service": "openweathermap", "key": "xxxxxyyyyyzzzzzz123", "locationCity": "xxxxxyyyyyzzzzz, DE", "language": "de", "compatibility": "both", "conditionCategory": "simple", "now": true, "extraHumidity": false, "hidden": [ "Condition", "Condition Category", "Dew Point", "Forecast Day", "Observation Station", "Observation Time", "Ozone", "Snow", "Temperature Min", "Temperature Apparent", "UV Index", "Visibility", "Wind Speed Max" ] }, { "nameNow": "Forecast", "service": "openweathermap", "key": "xxxxyyyyyzzzz1234", "locationCity": "xxxxyyyyzzzz, DE", "language": "de", "compatibility": "both", "forecast": [ "Tomorrow" ], "nameForecast": "+ ", "conditionCategory": "simple", "now": false, "extraHumidity": false, "hidden": [ "Condition", "Condition Category", "Dew Point", "Observation Station", "Observation Time", "Ozone", "Snow", "Temperature Min", "Temperature Apparent", "UV Index", "Visibility", "Wind Speed Max" ] } ], "platform": "WeatherPlus" },

135 Same issue with some more info.

Thanks @loudgazelle for providing info on ticket. Has someone the possibility to provide code for logging the calls so that we can get / provide more info from homebridge / weather-plus?

Update from my side.... it seems not to happen anymore. Might have been an OpenWeather issue....

Hi,

Thanks for the update. I may give it another try.
