Well, another weather driver is not working. From the interwebs:
"While the Dark Sky app is officially shutting down at the end of December, the Dark Sky API and website will function until March 21, 2023. Developers who use the Dark Sky API can transition over to Apple's WeatherKit API."
Mine shut down this morning sometime. I did put together the OpenWeatherMap JSON version a couple of years ago, and it should give a lot of the data that DarkSky did, but it uses the V2 format, so the fields don't match up as before. There are a few fields that it doesn't have but a few that it does have. I have been running the OpenWeatherMap driver just for the predicted rain amount, but I am sure there are a few others that I added.
I will check their API to see if it has been updated. Here is a link to the driver I did:

Also, I may update this with an equivalent V1 driver as well so that we don't have to change all of the field names in our template.

Mine just stopped working also.
Seems they are expecting a lot of darksky people to switch to openweather.
If I read this right they created OpenWeather One Call API 3.0 to help with this migration.

Looks like you can set a limit ( example 1,000) so you don't go over your daily free amount.

Well that stinks. Any suggestions on what to use now?
EDIT - I realized your OpenWeatherMap JSON driver is not the same as the stock OpenWeatherMap driver. I installed your driver and it looks good. Certainly better than the stock driver.

I am going to take a look at the API, as I did that driver right when they had the new API. Maybe they added some additional data that I can add.

thanks for posting, I hadn't noticed my weather info was gone until I saw this and checked. I'll have to load your other driver up.

Looks like its back up and working. I figure this is a temporary thing, since they have announced they were taking it down.
I have put together an updated OpenWeatherMap JSON version that includes the old field names, adds rain probability, and alerts. I want to test it a few days before I put it out here, but it should be a good alternative if this goes down again.

Can't wait to try it out!

Me too, I've been running that driver side by side with DarkSky and seems pretty good.

Okay, try this one. It uses the old Weather Underground / DarkSky fields with one caveat. Those originally had a spelling error on PrecipProb, and I had corrected it on the OpenWeatherMapJSON driver. Well just because it bugged me, I changed it on this one too, so you may have to change a few of your templates to get the Precipitation Probability if your using your DarkSky templates.
* Added Precipitation Probability
* Includes Moon Phases like DarkSky did.
* Includes Alerts
* This uses all of the old field names, except for the Precipitation Probability mentioned above.
I changed the name of the driver (OpenWeatherMapJSON1.0) so it wouldn't write over the old version, and since I downgraded the field names from the V2 stuff, I used V0.50 for the version number. If anyone wants the V2 names, I could update the other driver to include that.
OpenWeatherMapJSON1.0 V0.5.CQCDrvPack (Size: 15.67 KB / Downloads: 5)
Let me know how it works for you. It has worked fine for me for a few days.
