What's New

Today and tomorrow weather in the sun arc

The blank margins on each side of the sun arc now show a two-day weather forecast: date, condition icon, and low/high temperature. Today's weather is on the left, tomorrow's on the right.

If no weather entity is configured in HA, the margins stay empty and nothing breaks.

Tested integrations:

  • National Weather Service (NWS) - free, US only. NWS uses a day/night forecast format rather than a single daily entry, so Solar Sentinel automatically detects this and pairs the daytime high with the overnight low for each day.
  • Met.no - free, worldwide coverage, no account or API key required.
  • Pirate Weather - free with an API key (pirateweather.net), worldwide coverage, built as a Dark Sky replacement.

Solar Sentinel auto-discovers your weather entity and tries both forecast formats. OpenWeatherMap's free tier only provides hourly data and is not supported. If your integration is not on this list and the weather display is not working, open a GitHub issue and I will do my best to add support, as long as the weather API key is free.

What's Fixed

Sun graphic elongation on non-standard window widths

The sun position marker on the arc was drawn as a circle in SVG coordinate units. Since the arc SVG stretches horizontally to fill any window width while height stays fixed, the circle rendered as an ellipse at most window sizes. It is now drawn as a compensated ellipse that always renders circular, using the same approach applied to the moon icon in v2026.05.7.

No settings migration needed. Update in place via the Add-on Store and refresh the page.
