Cool. The initially mistook the newly updated rainviewer as in-operational. I believe I was being somewhat impatient :wink:

22

In version 1.0.1 the Locate button didn’t work for me, too. In 1.0.2 it works again and I haven’t used Location service for a long time.

I have another issue now: in a light ambience only every second row is displayed in light, the others are dark, looks terrible (on days and hours pages).

Ok, I’ll have a look at light ambiences. I never, ever use light so I’ve probably never seen the effect.

I found one more inconsistency with number format (sorry)

The percentage of cloud cover (top right corner of each field in weak view and next to air pressure in day view) has a . instead of , and it has sometimes 1 sometimes 2 and sometimes 15 digits (in case of .3333333333333). Also the air pressure in day view has a ,

25

Yes, that appears to be a bug that I can’t fix :frowning: There is only one function for all those values (a utility function) and it specifies 1 decimal place. But I’ll have a look at where the separator may have been missed. EDIT, although, for cloud cover, I can just reduce it to no decimal places as in the day view …

Yes please. I think nobody needs the value that precise. Also it looks ugly:
83.33333333333333
% :cloud:︎

It’s a bit odd. Those values come via the api and no calculations are done with them. The same value will show up with .33333 on the week view and as 83 on the daily view. Have not figured it out yet. I’ll probably do a truncate on it.

BTW, is it on purpose that the new rain radar extends only into the past and has no prediction?

Good question. I cannot recall if it ever was predictive! I need to look at the requests being made to open street maps anyway, so I’ll investigate.

It used to have 30 min of predictive power :upside_down_face:

Thanks! I’ll see if I missed a setting …

I looks the api might have introduced limits: the frames data is fetched with
mapFrames = api.radar.past;

using
mapFrames = api.radar no longer works.

For ‘personal use’, but I think generally, they have disabled the outlook on the future. Sigh.
