Ok working in test :) Couple of minor things with the Darksky forecast;
I need to set the units to metric with kph wind - ?units=ca at the end of the query string, is there a place to do that? There doesn't appear to be a "windy" icon Otherwise so far so good. I haven't delved into mqtt just yet. Cheers Colin On Wed, Aug 22, 2018 at 1:11 PM Pat <[email protected]> wrote: > Not sure. It might be.
