Weather forecast for next race

[vlx]

What about adding weather info for the days of the next race card? It might require additional data source and I don't know how hard is to implement. But I think it will add more to the suspense.

Yes I like this one! It's going on the todo

Hi, just tried this feature and I love it!
Just one thing, what is the difference between the 2 temperatures?

Cheers

Beuatifull feature for HA. I just love it. Since this today (07-04-2023) the weather forecast is not working for me any more

HA version 2023.4.1
Supervisor 2023.04.0
OS 9.5
Frontend 20230406.1
Formula1 card 1.4.2

Issue: weather and race-info not visible when show_weather has been added correctly to formula1 card (next_race). When weather info is not added race info is shown.
It worked before this weeks update.

code without weather_info:

type: custom:formulaone-card card_type: next_race date_locale: NL image_clickable: false show_raceinfo: true

code with weather_info:

type: custom:formulaone-card card_type: next_race date_locale: NL image_clickable: false show_raceinfo: true show_weather: true weather_options: unit: metric api_key: [my api key]

Check v1.4.3

When creating the API Key on visualcrossing, does it matter which location I fill in to create the API key?

All requests must include a location. A location can be an address, partial address (eg zip code or city, country) or latitude,longitude (eg 52.06,-2.72)

[marcokreeft87]

Nah not really. Just take Amsterdam or something

I wanted to use the f1sensor. However when entering the following code, no weather is shown:

type: custom:formulaone-card
show_weather: true
weather_options:
source: f1sensor
unit: metric

What do I do wrong?

[marcokreeft87]

Hi @marcokreeft87

The sensor does have attributes now, but I still see nothing on my card, could you explain if I've done something wrong in my config please:

Compare it again with my example above

@marcokreeft87

Copied and pasted your config:

[marcokreeft87]

Ah apparently it still needs an api key in the Configuration. Weird, just fill in something doest need to be a valid one

[oOStroudyOo]

You're right @marcokreeft87

Infact it doesn't even need an entry, it just needs to exist.
This works fine:

type: custom:formulaone-card
card_type: countdown
show_raceinfo: true
source: f1sensor
entity: sensor.f1_current_season
f1_font: true
date_locale: en-US
show_weather: true
weather_options:
  source: f1sensor
  entity: sensor.f1_weather
  api_key:
title: null
show_lastyears_result: true
hide_tracklayout: false
show_refresh: false

Thank you for your patience.

[JohnHasselhof]

Thanks both of you! Adding the empty api_key is working for me as well.
