New Weather API built in BI 5.9.9.29

[105437]

Email Ken and make a request. The more requests he receives, the more likely he'll consider the feature.

Just sent a request to Ken and he replied almost immediately.

"We will add this to the list of feature requests. Thanks for the suggestion!"

Would be very very cool if you could have it pull stats directly from Tempest

I have a weather station in my back yard, seems silly to get other data from the internet

Yes, there are several IPCT members with Tempests ( @mcapeed , @Smilingreen ? ) not sure of those that also use Blue Iris but maybe could utilize some HA-type of integration.

I have the new Weather API working, but I am trying to find a way to display the temp and wind speed with more precision. I would like to display the values to at least one decimal place. Is there a way to do this?

If you mean the openweathermap current weather API, it does return temperature and windspeed with more precision, which Blue Iris macros %053 & %057 apparently return as rounded or floor values.

You will need to email Blue Iris Support and request new macros like %053 & %057 that provide the same precision as returned by the API.
