Why is weather so hard / crappy

jeroenbos22

Why is weather working so crapy? 

- Installed the weather underground app and ask homey for weather prediction, it tells me to install the weather app

- Installed the weather app and asked for the weather, response or Yahoo not available or cant get weather for my location

- The appstore description of the app says you can ask it anything weather related... So I ask is it gonna rain

- For rain information you need to install buienradar app.

Long story short, installed 2 wheater apps, registered an apikey for WU and still no useable weather prediction by Homey

If weather doesn't work: did you create an issue on Github? How would Athom know there might be something wrong if no-one reports this on https://github.com/athombv/homey/issues

Its starting to get better now, installed weather and buienradar and can ask What I want. Maybe it was a time problem after all

Did you look at the settings of WU? (Should everybody do after installation of any app IMHO)  Maybe that explains why it didn't work right away after installation.
So if you restart your Homey WU will not work right away next time!. It could be that you have to wait for 60 min.

Athom knowns;

Ik heb onlangs nog een update uitgebracht: 0.2.6 Heeft u crashes? Gebruikt u een persoonlijke key? Heeft u de de flow kaart waar WU errors op komen in gebruik toevallig?

then:

Ik heb weer wat crashes ontvangen en ben nu deze aan het testen

Oh, dat is mooi. Nieuwe versie komt er een dezer dagen aan. Heeft dan ook gelijk ondersteuning voor de nieuwe meldingen scherm!

So first the say there's recently brought a new update. Then the are aware of crashes(reports) and say working on a new release. Now a month later version 0.2.6 is still the version to be and so in a month the didn't release a fix.

[edit]
Maybe this is not totally the same issue, but not releasing a fix after a month were users say the have issues with the app.

Maybe by using Homey themselves.. ?
