Missing API variable in the hourly weather


#1

Hi there,

Hoping this post is in the right place…
The existing weather API (https://wiki.webcore.co/Weather) appears to be missing the ‘sky’ variable under the hourly reports, see https://www.wunderground.com/hourly/nz/tauranga/date/2018-05-28/IMOUNTMA3?cm_ven=localwx_hour for an example of the json output… This value is the ‘cloud cover’ value in percent as per http://api.wunderground.com/api/100ad2bd673b106a/hourly/q/NZ/Tauranga.json .

Very useful for acting on specific solar / battery actions knowing the forecast of the upcoming cloud cover for your region.

I wonder if it wouldn’t be too hard to have this added to WebCore?

Many thanks
Barry Murphy

Apologies, just tested Sky and it worked, so just a documentation thing missing :slight_smile:
