Funny thing is....almost! It's friendly with BI6 (it was before, it was just labeled BI 5 in BIT) and WUnderground won't attempt to get weather without a key. I've made some various other changes and fixes as well, but I'm trying to get all the major stuff done ASAP then will push out smaller updates after.
can I get weather in BIT without having a personal weather station? I tried to get a WU api key but after creating an account it says I need to buy and install a weather station to get a key to put into BIT... otherwise it always says "error connecting to wunderground..."
Not sure which version this feature became available in BI but you can read up in BI's built-in "Help" on how to use OpenWeather. The lastest "Help" is online here and I have attached page 173 below.
I've been using BI Tools for a few years and think it is great. Mike has done a wonderful job. However, with running BI as a Service and using BI's internal Weather service, I'm trying to figure out the benefits BI Tools, especially with BI 6. What features of BI Tools are people using that BI itself does not have?
The core functionality is to always keep BI open, even if as a service. It can still crash as a service, and if it does, BIT will open it back up.

I can only speak of myself, but I have an Ambient Weather Station WS-2902.
I did not originally purchase it to be included into Blue Iris. It had other purposes back then.
1.) rain meter for my RainMachine irrigation system
2.) LUX meter to determine if the sun way up or down
3.) landscape moisture meters for irrigation purposes
4.) was planning to have a DJI drone auto-take off and track / follow a HUMAN who enters my driveway depending on wind & rain conditions at that time, but this did not come to be
I have Ambient Weather Station + Blue Iris + Home Assistant + DSC home security system all able to monitor this and that between them.
I originally could not get BIT to work years ago and just never revisited the issue until last month.
Works like a charm.

Thanks for the info. I have also come across a few forums where people use scripts instead of actual weather stations, but that’s over my head.I can only speak of myself, but I have an Ambient Weather Station WS-2902.
