My own small hobby project. It gathers data from OpenWeatherMap, but will soon get data from another API. Check https://lemmy.ml/post/337241 for the official website that uses Serenum API.

First I have to say good 🙂 Local weather stations and thermostats are more accurate for your place than what weather services like OpenWeatherMap are.

Compared to other weather services, Serenum API will never use your geolocation or IP address to pinpoint your location. You enter this information manually in the address field.

When the new website for Serenum releases, it will never use your IP address nor your geolocation. You will enter the desire location via a form. The current website at serenum.org/beta do geolocate you, but only on your terms. But since it's only a beta, that feature does not always work.

Serenum are and will always be free to use, and Serenum will never log anything about you. OpenWeatherMap and Ambee (if enabled) might log something about you, though.
