Widget for PWS on Android

neronde

Hello,

I didn't find the refresh function as the standard windy Widget. Is it normal ?

The PWS widget doesn't seem to update correctly see picture:

PHONE: Xiaomi Redmi note 10 5G (M2103K19G)

@neronde Hi. Your observation is correct - there is no refresh button for this widget. This widget is based on new technology (different from the old widgets) and it does not support this functionality, however as I can see from your screenshot the update is working as expected (widget updates every hour). If you want to force an update you can do it by opening the configuration activity (the widget's settings) and press Save button on the bottom. Have a nice day.

@MarkNagy Hello,

No it doesn't seem correct because when I add it to the home screen I get this :

I see Temperature/humidity/wind well displayed.

After an amount of time I got the first picture of this thread.

@neronde Thanks for the clarification. Unfortunately we are not able to do anything about this - the data comes from the weather station and as you can see not all weather stations provide all the data reliably.

Hello,

What I wanted to show is that the widget doesn't update itself.
For example I re-added the widget at 12H45 and waited until 13:05 and I got this :

The widget doesn't update in the time.

Still at 14:20 even with WiFi :

Seems to update some sort of data but the columns on the right not showing latest recordings.

@neronde If I observe correctly:
You added the widget at 12:45 - so the latest available data are from 12:38 - as shown on the first image you attached.
The second update was roughly at 13:45 (as I mentioned this widget updates hourly) and the latest shown data are from 13:38 (from the second image you attached).

@MarkNagy
Yes indeed it works on hourly basis that's why I got nothing updated until the next hour.

I apologize about the misunderstanding.

Best regards,
