while setting up my new Rainmachine HD-16 I recognized that the METNO weather service URL is not working anymore. 

Using the log file I figured out that the URL needs to be updated:

http://api.met.no/weatherapi/locationforecastlts/1.2/

needs to be updated to:

http://api.met.no/weatherapi/locationforecastlts/1.3/

Adding a custom parser with the updated url works fine for me :-)

I hope this gets updated soon for the people in Europe.

Thanks & kind regards

  Joachim, thank you for your message.
  That's a known issue and it has been fixed. It is available on our latest Beta firmware update release.

  It would help if you can join our Developers forums and post the working Metno custom parser with your fix there. Others will appreciate it.

  Thank you, Joachim
  RainMachine Support.

  Hello,

  I had the problem described with the Metno weather service (no more updates). However after installing the firmware beta Metno still was not working. Only after resetting the rainmachine to its default settings and activating Metno again, it worked and I got the weather updates/forecast. In my case I suspect that the link to the old Metno was still effective, even after installing the beta firmware.

  Maybe something to look into?

  Greetings,

  Peter
