openweathermap set to metric only about homebridge-weather-plus HOT 3 CLOSED

A couple of points here:

• I haven't tried telling this plugin to use a different unit than metric
• I do know that HomeKit internally only uses metric values and it leaves it up to the clients to convert to units that are configured via platform settings or app settings.
• This plugin seems to assume that all values provided by data providers (eg OpenWeatherMap) are metric
• If the user has configured via this plugin's settings to use different units, then it converts all values to those units just before providing it the Homebridge. Conversion convenience functions are in util/characteristics.js

So, IMO, the above mentioned code is correct.

I understand this better now. This is correct behavior. Internally the plugin keeps all values in metric units.
The reason this plugin has a settings parameter for different units is for when compatibility mode, used for Apple's Home app, has been enabled. When that is enabled, Occupancy sensors are used to report all values that Home app doesn't have native support for. As such, the values are not converted by HomeKit to the locale of your device, rather, they are converted to the units set in the settings and added to the sensor label.

Closing this as resolved.
