There is a change in the Weather forecast that came in the September Home Assistant release. For regular users, this probably does not mean anything, as I will show you. But as I discuss rather advanced topics on this channel, it might mean that some of us need to make some changes during the next 6 months, so let me show you how.
This change builds on the recent introduction of service call return values, and also triggered an addition of an action parameter to the template sensor - and that’s quite exciting and useful in general. The great thing about that is, that you can say what type of weather forecast you want: daily, hourly, or twice_daily, and also, you should always get the latest forecast when you need it. The forecast attribute is now deprecated and will be removed 6 months from now.
