The Skyline Universal Weather connector is an advanced tool designed to interface with various weather APIs via HTTPS. It allows you to retrieve comprehensive and up-to-date weather information for specific locations of your choosing. The connector is highly versatile and generic, supporting multiple API services to provide flexibility based on your preferences and requirements.

Currently, it is compatible with three distinct weather APIs:

  • OpenWeather OneCall 2.5
  • OpenWeather OneCall 3.0
  • Windy Point-Forecast API v4

Each of these APIs offers unique features, allowing you to access a wide range of meteorological data, including current weather conditions, extended forecasts, historical data, and more specialized information such as wind patterns or precipitation trends. Depending on what API is selected, the connector will display the corresponding pages for configuration and forecast tables. This connector proves highly beneficial when generating ticketing and diagnostic reports that require detailed weather conditions.

Certain environmental factors, such as heavy rainfall, strong winds, or extreme temperatures, can impact system performance, depending on what is being monitored, often leading to interference, power outages, or service disruptions. By integrating real-time or historical weather data into these reports, issues can more effectively diagnosed. This added layer of context enhances accuracy and ensures that external weather-related factors are properly accounted for, streamlining troubleshooting efforts and improving overall response times.
