I’m using HA to switch power to an electric water heater when my solar PV panels are generating enough power to do it.
I’ve set the config to switch on at 12 noon when the sun is at greater than 40degs elevation
and clould cover less than 20%.
My location is accurate, yet at 12 noon clear sky not a cloud in sight , but DarkSky is saying 60% cloud cover.
Its not as if it was just a little patch of the UK with clear sky, the Sat images showed the whole of the UK had near zero clould cover.
I’ve two airports near me , Shawbury,( military), and Birmingham (commercial), both have weather stations. with web data.
Has anyone found a way to grab the weather data from airports for use with HA.
I suspect we will lose DarkSky access soon anyway with its new owners.
TIA
