I think the problem many are facing is the demise of wunderground's API 
keys. Sure they work for now, but for how long? There's a thread on their 
forums about replacing wunderground within the OS Unified Firmware 
<https://opensprinkler.com/forums/topic/no-more-free-wunderground-api-key/>.

Maybe this skin could be a good replacement for those using weewx and 
OpenSprinkler?
