Weather Company API- Revenue stream for Netro

It is my understanding that you could restore our ability to pull data into netro from our individual weather stations. This would require paying for the API, which you could mark up 20% and offer a paid option to netro clients. $3.99 a year, for example, would be totally worth it to get accurate information to my sprinkler controller. As I have outlined in a previous post, dark sky has proven to be wildly inaccurate. It's Miss estimates rainfall by at least 50%, on average, and is within three degrees plus or minus on high temperature only about 50% of the time.

I second that - dark sky for San Francisco has been very inaccurate... for weeks it has been showing partly cloudy with 19% chance of rain even though it was mostly sunny/ today it is raining and it shows partly cloudy with 2% chance of rain ...

Yeah, nationally they are poorly rated. I bought my Netro because it supported WU. I understand WU is to blame. I have a very expensive weather station, sucks I can't use it to feed Netro.

Hi Simon and Kirk, we heard you. We have been working with WU to solve the issue and we might be able to add WU back to the system. We will keep you posted on the progress. Meanwhile, please try accuWeather and see if it performs better than Dark Sky.
