Hi, I just noticed the METNO Service on my Rainmachine 8-PRO shows

Error: Can not open url

So I checked the log and discovered this

2020-09-01 23:25:52,622 - INFO  - rmMainManager:239 - Upgrade checked.
2020-09-01 23:26:53,341 - ERROR - rmParser:131 - *** Error in parser 'METNO Parser' while downloading data from https://api.met.no/weatherapi/locationforecastlts/1.3/?lat=50.3766277168&lon=8.12446293593&msl=159, error: HTTP Error 404: Not Found
2020-09-01 23:26:53,350 - ERROR - rmParser:133 - HTTP Error 404: Not Found

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 556, in http_error_default

When opening the URL manually I get this

curl https://api.met.no/weatherapi/locationforecastlts/1.3/\?lat\=50.3766277168\&lon\=8.12446293593\&msl\=159
404 Not Found
The specified version number is end-of-lifed for this product 

Could you please look into this?

Also please note, that METNO has released the 2.0 version of their API this year and it might be a good idea to update the firmware switching to this new and supported version of the API.

  Much appreciated, Julian. This proves to me that you are not trying to sell hardware and then forget about it. Instead you try to keep the software up to par, which is the real value nowadays. Happy with my choice of Rainmachine so far.
  Thanks a lot and kudos to your team.
