Get weather based on id rather then name

[a-waider]

Hey, the weather widget is lacking a feature for my specific case. The location property in the configuration only supports to query for the first found item of open-meteo.com. However I didn't find a search query which lists my location as the first result.

I would propose to also support location ids which open-meteo.com also provides. The app could first check if the location property is an integer and query by the location id, otherwise query by name.

Hey, the location parameter accepts up to 3 comma separated values, where the second value is matched against admin1 in the JSON response. Here's what that would look like for a bunch of US places with the same name:

Greenville, North Carolina, United States
Greenville, South Carolina, United States
Greenville, Mississippi, United States

If admin1 isn't populated for the results you're seeing, please let me know, otherwise I believe this should resolve your issue.

Alright, thanks for your help. I updated it accordingly and it seems to give me plausible values. Honestly I'm still not really sure it's using the correct location. Is there a way to verify which location e.g. by lat/lon or id is used?

I've found an edge case in which the name, admin1 and country are the same, but admin3 contains different values. This concerns places in Italy; even though these places are fairly close to one another, they might have different weather.
