Intermittent "Cannot talk to OWM API, check API key" Crashes Smart irrigation

[lexo12345]

Did you read the docs?

• I read the docs and my question is not answered there.

What happened?

Smart irrigation stops working intermittently, Seems to coincide with an intermittent issue polling for weather data

How to reproduce

See line 4904 onwards, bug occurs at 6:00 exactly
config_entry-smart_irrigation-01JDS9SCMXANBX9NMV7M4GBAV9 (4).json
home-assistant (2).log

Once this bug has occured the Smart irrigation side pane is blank;

Restarting home assistant gets everything back up & running again until the bug re-occurs.

Additional information

No response

Interesting. Can you check the OWM api page to check you have not maxed out the requests?

[jajberni]

I am having a similar problem with a fresh install. The API key is not accepted, even if I am not using any requests. Tried to create a new API key without success.

[jeroenterheerdt]

@jajberni wait a couple of hours, as the docs say...

This was the case.

Is it all possible for this to be a notification when this occurs?

[jeroenterheerdt]

It's impossible to detect this case in software. But I can change the error message and update the docs.
