Hi everyone. I just started to try out Windy today and within a few hours thought about finding out how to integrate with HA. I found this thread and read down eagerly waiting for the “we’ve listened to our loyal community and created a home API license for HA”.

Instead I found 95 posts of “I want this” over two years and nothing but 3 posts of “I’ll ask the team”.

Now the API license is about 1000 euros. I’m wondering if someone would take on the task of buying one of these and then farming out the data for all HA users to subscribe to? I imagine 100 posts in here of “I’ll even pay a small fee for it” suggests you might be able to get away with 5 euros per year per user. You’d need to cover hosting and traffic costs but you’d just be a passthrough of the API calls and little need to cache anything IMO since weather data is always changing.

The trial is generous and would allow significant development and testing. Claude would have this built and deployed to AWS in a day probably. The hardest part would be the payment gateway and account management service.

All of this of course could just be handled by Windy by slightly altering a product to suit home power users……
