when I ckeck with browser: http://api.wunderground.com/api/7f46f86438cxxxxx/conditions/q/FR/MEAUX.json
I have Json data but it contains no weahter data

What I do wrong?

Answer 1

I find the reason of that trouble, in fact wunderground.com know a very limited number of Town, and for MEAUX (France) don't send weather data, if I put PARIS (FRANCE) I have data...
Also display is a mix between English and French, all I dislike

In fact I spend my money for a no working device, 
if I what something working, I must rewrite a part of the software in order to use another weather providerinteresting, but I do not have time to do it yet.

In fact you can find the towns kwon by wunderground.com at:

Seems unfair to complain that you have to put some effort into building a kit.

It is, after all, a kit.

There's a ton of value in that kit:
Components tested by the author and known to work well, and more importantly, work together
Custom libraries written by the author that make using the tiny oled display fairly simple.
A wonderful PDF book that brings together 99% of the knowledge 99% of people would need.
And of course this support forum where you can ask questions, read about others questions etc..

Overall I found the kit to be a great value, and really enjoyed tinkering with it.
I see the ability to customize it to my liking as a huge bonus, not a detriment!

you`d better go for buying a consumer product if you find something similar.

Yes I think so...

Answer 2

Check with your WU-ID the forecast for your town in the browser.

.../q/your_country/your_town.json

You might not get a forecast but a list of towns in several countries (gess how many towns called HAMBURG are around the world!). Then choose your town: You will find a line with coordinates zmwxxxxxxx. Use this zmwxxxx as the name of your town in the browser again, now you should get the forecast. If so, use zmwxxxx as the WUNDERGROUND_CITY in the settings.h . The display name can be set to the real town name.

Took me hours to find out, but now my weatherstation works fine.

Happy coding!
