Openweathermap UV index "Unknown"

[rcblackwell]

The problem

I installed the openweathermap integration a couple of days ago. Installation was completed using a paid One Call API 3.0 key. With exception of UV readings, the integration is obtaining current weather data. I've been watching the UV sensor (sensor.openweathermap_uv_index) for the last 24 hours. It's always reporting "Unknown".

If i make a call using [(https://api.openweathermap.org/data/3.0/onecall?lat={MY_LAY}&lon={MY_LON}&appid={MY_API_KEY})]. The following data is returned;

{REDACTED HEADER}
{"dt":1712428841,"sunrise":1712400953,"sunset":1712447770,"temp":283.72,"feels_like":282.22,"pressure":1018,"humidity":53,"dew_point":274.55,"uvi":4.17,"clouds":7,"visibility":10000,"wind_speed":6.49,"wind_deg":359,"wind_gust":8.17,"weather":[{"id":800,"main":"Clear","description":"clear sky","icon":"01d"}]},"minutely":[{"dt":1712428860,"precipitation":0},

I see a UVI value of 4.17 in the data. Why is the integration not displaying it?

In addition, all of the state_attr data for forecast is missing. If you attempt state_attr('weather.openweathermap','forecast')[1],['temperature'] for example, it is now returning an error. The hourly forecast state_attr data is completely missing from the state view in developer tools window.

This breaks all automations that relied on forecast data.

Probably related to #113000

[Phoenix-DH]

Same here.

[babygiraffe05]

Same here.

I discovered this was unrelated. You need to change the way Openweathermap pulls data. The new method is to use a service to call the forecast as required. You can use that data to create sensors that are functional within automations, helpers, etc. For me, this is a far worse solution and required a ton of reprogramming, but I was able to recover everything after many hours of labor. The information can be found here: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/weather/

There are two examples of the service at the bottom of that page that pull the data into a sensor via an automation, but I suggest searching for other examples of the weather.get_forecasts (note the plural forecasts) service. Note that weather.get_forecast (singular forecast) has been deprecated.

@babygiraffe05
Is UV really also related to this new service?
I am already using it to create a new sensor for weather forecast.

{{ hourly['weather.openweathermap'].forecast }}"

I thought all now providef sensors should still work.

@Phoenix-DH I thought your comment was referencing my reply to the op, not the op post. The UV Index is not included in any forecast data, including the current hour or current day forecast, nor any of the future periods that are available by calling the weather.get_forecasts service I referenced in my comment above. UV Index is included in the current weather conditions. See the documentation here: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/openweathermap/

So to answer your question directly, no UV Index is not related to the new get_forecasts service.

[Phoenix-DH]

Yes, so just an issue with uv and openweathermap.
