I was going to implement your weather reporting but once I got everything copied over I realized there was nothing calling the https://dev.pirateweather.net/forecast.. this seems to be a key part. I searched your files but couldn't see how you're doing this, possibly with a custom integration? This might make a good video topic at the very least, since I can be the only one struggling with api calls.

Ahh, yeah, Ive been tweaking stuff a lot lately.

Pirate Weather is powered by https://pirateweather.net that attempts to replicate the Dark Sky SPI using the NWS weather source. I have found it s a bit more stable than hitting the NWS api.

You can grab an HA Integration from the Home Assistant Community Store. Then you get a some sensors that you can use.

So far it seems to be a pretty solid integration. You can find more about it at https://github.com/alexander0042/pirate-weather-ha
