Hi @wsw70 !

I have the same issue !
It started today around lunch, maybe an API change ...

Not all sensors are down perhaps, only :

• sensor.[city]_freeze_chance
• sensor.[city]_uv
• sensor.[city]_snow_change
• weather.[city]

configuration

meteo_france:
  - city: '69004'
    monitored_conditions:
      - temperature
      - weather
      - wind_speed
      - uv
      - next_rain
      - freeze_chance
      - rain_chance
      - snow_chance
      - thunder_chance

Confirmed here on 0.93.1. I only use the weather widget, and it seems stuck showing last night's weather.

[wsw70]

@Quentame @outadoc Thanks for the confirmation. I moved HA from a standalone server to a dockerized one, upping the version at the occasion. I am sure that the widget used to work but I am not sure of the previous version.

How do you create the card? Manually by adding elements? I think I had a card similar to DarkSky already pre-formatted with the temperature in larger font, icons for the weather conditions (clouds, sun, ...)

[victorcerutti]

Hello,

Thanks for the report. I found out the issue.
This component relies on scrapping and some elements have changed.
I just made a fix for this issue and will have to submit a PR to Home Assistant to fix your local installation

I will keep you posted here when it's done

Hi @wsw70 !

Same issue since I've installed this component on my Hass.io instance. It just retrieves some sensor informations, but no forecast is given, and I have this traceback :

@Imbuzi I believe it is in the dev branch as for now, should be merged into master and, subsequently, a release some time in the future.

I'm not sure the new release will resolve the issue. I've tried to put the code from the dev branch as a custom component, but it doesn't seem to be working with this code too.
Did you test it recently from an Home Assistant instance ?

[wsw70]

Did you test it recently from an Home Assistant instance ?

No, in the sense that I have a dockerized HA installation, which updates itself automatically.
I am currently on 0.94.4 and see that the error is still there in the logs.

[beavis69]

I'm using dockerized HA install too.

With homeassistant/home-assistant:latest forecast doesn't work, but if i switch to homeassistant/home-assistant:dev forcast works.

[beavis69]

it seems forecast also works with thehomeassistant/home-assistant:rc tagged docker image (0.95.0b4)

[Imbuzi]

I've just updated to 0.95, and it works :)

[wsw70]

Yes, after my nighly update to 0.95 it does indeed work. Thanks a lot!
