Weather-based water level error

[navy2x]

I’m getting an error on the Weather-based water level plugin page. See screenshot below. I have an OpenSprinkler Pi v1.3 running software v2.1.2. Anyone have suggestions? Do I need to install a certain python library for this to work?

Weather-base water level encountered error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/pi/OSPi/plugins/weather_level_adj.py", line 85, in run
    history = history_info()
  File "/home/pi/OSPi/plugins/weather_level_adj.py", line 319, in history_info
    'humidity': float(day_info['humidity'])
ValueError: could not convert string to float:

It seems we might be in the same boat… I have the following error listed below! I have just upgraded to V2.1.2 yesterday and it was working last night. Not able to convert string to float, I wonder if it has to do with WU replacing 0.0 with NULL or something like that. I hope someone we come to our rescue but until then I disabled mine because it was running up my WU API calls and didn’t want it to go over the 500 calls per day and start using my raindrops.

The error is now a bit different for me:

I just got mine working by going to the Option’s tab and in the Location field I put pws:mystationID
Hope this helps

Looks like that worked for me too! At least I no longer get an error. For those who are getting similar issues, this seems to be a temporary patch. On the Options page, go to the Location text field and instead of your zip, put “pws:” (for personal weather station) and enter the Station ID of the closest weather station to you.
