Open-Meteo as weather provider instead of OpenWeatherMap

[woheller69]

Open-Meteo is open source and has excellent data, e.g. from Deutscher Wetterdienst.

...and they are not only open-source but also do not track their users. Also they are responsive in case of issues or suggestions.
OpenWeatherMap is as "open" as OpenAI.

Open-Meteo misses the following points compared to OpenWeather:

• Reverse geocoding (city name)
• Icons from an URL

Not sure how you want to proceed for this.

I also wonder if someone wants to work on it, should they get rid of OpenWeather or make it configurable to choose?

[woheller69]

what do you mean with "icons from an url"?

And does Dicio need reverse geocoding?

"How is the weather in Paris?" does not need it in my view.

I would suggest to make it the default option.

It's also missing the description, now that I look at it.
(Would require a mapping between a weather code and a translation)
