I had home automation based on Dark Sky API. Sad to see it go.

(mental note: make sure there are always alternate solutions and manual over-rides for external resources.)

The API is replaced by https://developer.apple.com/documentation/weatherkitrestapi which is available as a REST API and can be used on non-Apple platforms.

Maybe check out https://pirateweather.net/, I think the author had similar ideas.

Care to share what kind of automation you had?

cyclone house prep (sump pump, shutters, top off battery backup, exercise backup generator, generator fuel messaging to top off, notifications, etc.)

delay watering if rain is coming

warn of weather change so do not get caught in open waters

That is all I have now.
