So which one of those works now? I assume that in the first one "WeatherAPIKey" is your actual key (and not our key)? If not, it needs to be like this:
[$WEATHERAPIKEY]
and it will be replaced with the key as entered in the server plugin.

That was a direct copy/paste from an old project. It changes the text of the code from "ACode=A567..." to "ACode=WeatherAPIKey" when I paste it into the message board. Weird. Note that if I "edit" the existing project fields in the RSS Data Browser, all the data is present in the tables. It just won't show in the HST projects for some reason. I'll remove the http:// from the fields and we'll try something simpler - the text name for tomorrow (THU) from the WeatherBug forecast.

Using my RSS address & WB API key - HST shows "THU" as expected:
RSS: i.wxbug.net/REST/XML/GetXml.aspx?api_key=[$WEATHERAPIKEY]&RequestType=22&Latitude=39.76&Longitude=-85.96 &ForecastType=7

We are having the board hide our API key as it should not be made public, that is why the paste is not the same.
I tried a bunch of old projects with the new plugin and they all displayed fine. Make sure you restart HS after trying a new project, see if that helps. The new plugin does cache the RSS data where before it would reset the cache whenever any client connected/disconnected. It may be related to that.

Okay, that gave me an idea. HST hard coded your API key into all my projects, in the RSSUrlNormal line (There's no "api_key=[$WEATHERAPIKEY]" replacement). So I entered YOUR API key into the HST Config, and now WeatherBug data is present. I'm not sure why it's not doing the same with my key (unless I use a different URL like: i.wxbug.net/REST/SP/getLiveWeatherRSS.aspx?api_key=[$WEATHERAPIKEY]&stationid=KMQJ&UnitType=0&OutputType=1)

Did you just request your key? It can take hours before the key actually works. Enter the url in a browser and make sure the xml displays.

Back to the point, for those that do care, the iPhone in my case seems to display weather correctly after the latest dll update.
I just use the weather.com app on the phone and that is it. Why reinvent the wheel?

I know all of us are quick to complain, when something doesn't work. I'm just as guilty of holding the HomeSeer crew to the highest standard. But it is also worth while noting that without them fixing things and actively monitoring this board, there would not be much point in pursuing this time and effort consuming quest to automate everything. Thanks, Rich!

Thanks
Here's another one that I display on my weather screen - may be helpful - it is the "nearest area". For me, it lists the actual community I live in. The URL must have the '&includeLocation=yes' on the end:HS4Pro on a Raspberry Pi4
