weatherbit

[1.0.21] - 2024-01-06

• Fix issue #94 and #93.

Note Issue #91 might not get fixed, leaving the Integration unusable as of 2024.3. It is too complicated to maintain this integration due to the low number of calls per day, so testing changes is very difficult as I quickly run out of calls, making me wait until the next day, to be able to continue. I strongly suggest people to find another Weather Integration, and there are many great ones out there.

Fix issue #90 and changed the text in the Config Flow to reflect the new default values for updates

• Fixing missing translation string in pl.json. Thanks you to @nepozs
• Fix issue #87 Detected integration that called async_setup_platforms. This call has now been replaced by the proper new function.

• Fixing invalid units for Wind Speed Knots and km/h plus AQI.
• Issue #85 Removed all deprecated device classes and implemetend translation_key to continue translating certain values in the UI.
• Cleaned up the code to use the correct Device Classes based on all the new changes in 2023.1
• Minimum required Home Assistant version from now on is 2023.1.x

• Fixing #84 On sensor.weatherbit_forecast_day_n, the native_temperature and native_templow attributes both have the forecasted high temp values if the system is setup for Imperial Units.

• Fixing issue #81 and #82. Now supporting HA 2022.11
• Fixing wrong constant definitions for Units
• Minimum requirement of HA is now changed to 2022.11

• Fixing issue #81 and #82. Needs testing.

Changed

• Fixing issue #73 BREAKING CHANGE This version now completely removes the Alerts from Weatherbit. As it turned out, even though I only did 1 REST call to Weatherbit to get Current, Forecast and Alert Data, the Alert data counted as an extra call. So by removing this, the Integration is a bit more usefull, after Weatherbit reduced the number of Free Calls per day from 500 down to 50.
  Removing the Alert part is the best option, as this data is available in a few other specialized integrations like MeteoAlarm.

Fixed

• Issue #78 Deprecation warning in Logs after 2022.10 upgrade for temperature utility bug
• Issue [#73] WeatherBit have reduced the available calls per day on the Free Tier from 500 to only 50 calls per day. This now adjusts the minimum and maximum values for the update frequencies to ensure we don't run over the limit. IF YOU UPGRADE FROM A PREVIOUS VERSION, YOU WILL HAVE TO ADJUST BOTH SENSOR AND FORECAST FREQUENCY MANUALLY. Set them both to min 65 min to avoid to many calls.

Fixing minimum Home Assistant version

You must minimum be running Home Assistant 2022.7.0 for this release to work.

Fixed - Breaking Changes

• BREAKING CHANGE #52 Changed Unique ID to use the supplied Latitude and Longitude. The previous value could sometimes change when many stations in close proximity, creating double entries. This unfortunately means that all entities will get a new unique id, and will be duplicated. I recommend to simply delete the Integration and add it again, and all the names should stay the same as before.

• Fixing forecast date not in right format. Date needs to be a UTC time string and not DateTime object.

Fixed

• Issue #50 Fixed pressure and visibility values not being correct. Please note that when clicking on a weather card, the units for pressure will be reported as psi if imperial units or else as pa. The values however are in inHg and hPa. For metric units, wind speed is now also in m/s and not kmh. Not sure why this was changed on the Weather Entity.
