Describe the issue

Solar radiation sensor stopped being provided by the cloudweather proxy integration about a week ago. The other 12 sensors are being created and updated.

My local weather station is still displaying the solar radiation values.

If I allow underground weather to access my local weather station the solar radiation values are displayed on underground weather web page.

It appears the underground weather api may be displaying a "solar radiation high" level instead of a live solar radiation level. But underground weather must still be requesting the live solar radiation levels to calculate the solar radiation high level.

Any way to restore the live solar radiation sensor?

Reproduction steps

1. start cloudweather proxy integration
   2.restart home assistant
2. only 12 sensors are created instead of 13 (missing solar radiation sensor)
   ...

If I let my local weather station access the web and use Weather Underground's api. The api returns the solar radiation value ("solarRadiation":175.2) . See below:

Any idea on why the cloudweather proxy integration won't create a solar radiation sensor?

[greg520820]

Here is a file containing logs from the caddy docker container. All sensors are being created and updated except solar radiation. Do you see anything wrong in the log?

caddy container log.txt

[lhw]

Thanks for the logs. I can do a quick test run with those. I might actually get around to that today-ish. But I didn't really change anything in a public version of the integration. So it's likely some unit conversion or HA shenanigan.

[greg520820]

In HA, I have only updated the os-version and supervisor_version, but the solar radiation sensor was working after those updates.

Let me know if any other logs or information would be helpful.

[greg520820]

If I send the following curl command to Home Assistant a weather station is created called IMIEI2. The solar radiation value shows as 50,000 instead of 50. Also if I change "solarRadiation" to "solarradiation" and change the value from 50 to 30, it will not update the value in Home assistant.

curl -G "http://192.168.0.217:8123/wunderground/weatherstation/updateweatherstation.php" --data-urlencode "ID=IMIECI2" --data-urlencode "PASSWORD=xxxxxx" --data-urlencode "dateutc=2025-11-05 1:47:25" --data-urlencode "solarRadiation=50" -H "Authorization: Bearer xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

[greg520820]

The reason the solar radiation sensor is missing maybe the asset file for aiocloudweather 2024.12.2 station.py is missing the lines of code listed below. The lines are there when you open the "main" version of station.py in github, but if you download the asset zip for aiocloudweather 2024.12.2 the station.py does not contain these lines. Also if I open my HA docker container the station.py file is missing these lines of code.

Adding these lines back into the station.py file fixes the problem.

solarradiation_new: float = field(
default=None,
metadata={
"unit": UnitOfIrradiance.WATTS_PER_SQUARE_METER,
"arg": "solarradiation",
"alternative_for": "solarradiation",
},

[lhw]

I did tinker with the conversions. So it's likely a victim of that. The conversion to W/m² was quite inaccurate. More of a wild guess. But I might add a better one back in

[greg520820]

The problem is with the "aiocloudweather" 2024.12.2 release. It does not have the pr #36 code changes. You fixed the solar radiation issue that I'm currently having in PR #36, but they did not get released.

There isn't any issue with the cloudweatherproxy integration.
