[openweathermap] Request Condition field to be capitalized (first letter of each word) #9570

It would be nice if the Condition string was properly capitalized. I'm using OH3 and cannot capitalize in the widget.

Thanks!

I took a short look at the code. The data comes from the openweathermap API, so it is necessary to know what Strings are exactly bothering you? Otherwise it seems to me like a dead end with some unpleasant side effects, for example "Ein paar Wolken" seems to be exactly what is expected.

Yes, the binding just forwards data received from OWM API. It does neither applies a formatter nor a translation on values. To be honest we will not fix that. If you like to have optimized casing I have to ask you to look for a solution elsewhere (e.g. by creating a rule or a transformation).
