Indigo Domotics

The Dark Sky API is officially dead (as of yesterday) and I'm recommending that users find a new API and use the Ghost XML plugin to get their weather data into Indigo (or use one of the other fine weather plugins).

Some users are switching to a "bootleg" API that emulates Dark Sky at https://dev.pirateweather.net/forecast/ in order to keep using Fantastic Weather. You can also find information here if you want to try this route.

But as of yesterday, I'm unfortunately no longer supporting the Fantastic Weather plugin.

Any chance you could post a version that uses the bootleg api for those of us that are not programmers - if not, no worries I can give it a shot but I really don’t like messing around in plug-in code.

I just posted it.

haha. He said "Grasshopper" but only wanted to use 3 of those letters.

Just tried the new version. Any config needed to get this working with the new API?

Yes -- you'll need to sign up for an API key at Pirate Weather and adjust the plugin configuration to get it to work with the new API key.

A million thanks - trying to change all my control pages would be so so hard and I have totally forgotten how to work with the graphics…

You're welcome Norm.
