Yep - even trying to downgrade back to previous version (and clearing cache) doesn't seem to fix it.

hi there, what is your weather entity set to? daily or hourly?

[zendiik]

I have hourly

[pkissling]

the error message is "weather entity does not support daily forecasts". can you set the entity to to daily then?

[swampylee]

If I change to daily in OpenWeatherMap that integration fails. Setting it back to hourly and it's fine (card still doesn't load though)

i did some analysis to understand why this issue occurs:

until 2.1.6 clock-weather-card would always try to read first the forecast attribute available in the weather entity (despite the weather provider supporting the new weather.get_forecast and only if forecast was not available, it would use weather.get_forecast to obtain forecasts

in order to fix #218 i implemented a change (released with 2.1.6) so that clock-weather-card would rely on supported_features in the weather entity to either subscribe to forecast updates via weather.get_forecast or read it from forecast attribute in the weather entity.

this means that openweathermap is also affected by this change, as it provides the forecast attribute as part of the weather entity, but additionally supports the weather.get_forecast subscription. so since 2.1.6 clock-weather-card will try to subscribe to weather.get_forecast instead of reading it from the forecast attribute.

and here is the catch: in the free tier of openweathermap you are only able to subscribe to hourly forecasts. but with the default setup of clock-weather-card, you want to display the weather daily. so clock-weather-card will try to subscribe to daily updates, which is not supported by openweathermap. this is why you see the error

to fix the issue i will add some logic to make clock-weather-card fall back to hourly forecast subscription in case daily is not supported. i think this should fix your issue.
