Wind speed values seem very off (unnecessary conversion?)

[blaxter]

I'm using ${weather.start.windSpeed} on automation and I've tried both m/s and km/h and the values seem very high (no idea about the provider that I'm using, it's a free account) about x3 the real value (maybe the values obtained are assumed to be on m/s and there is an unnecessary conversion?).

E.g. right now it said I run with a wind of 103km/h 👯

I've checked both OpenWeatherMap and OpenMeteo and the value on their API is right.

It's working now! My last activity was showing coherent values and even syncing old activities work as well, closing this. thanks!

It happened again (activity id 8867546969), though after a manual sync was fixed with the right values (i.e. right now that activity is ok), I've tried triggering it again (doing a manual sync 4-5 more times) but no luck.

Is the free account always using the same weather provider, does it pick one randomly or is it a priority list of providers? maybe only one of these is buggy

I'm reopening the issue but feel free to close it if you don't think it can happen again.

Hi @blaxter , the culprit is the provider "open-meteo", which is returning some garbage data in specific conditions, although I could not identify any particular location or parameter that could be related. It seems completely random.

I will remove "open-meteo" from the list of default providers (it can still be used as fallback solution), and add a few extra checks to avoid using the provider's data in case the data looks too suspicious.

A few tweaks to the Open-Meteo integration are being released today: https://github.com/strautomator/web/releases/tag/v23.152.12159

Please reopen this ticket if the wind speed gets messy again.

Lovely, thanks for the quick fix and explanation!
