Weather pages

  • Fixed the weather forecast pages failing to load, and the Blueprint automation stopping with a template error, when the weather provider's forecast had no low temperature for a day. The lowest temperature of the day is now used instead (fix: Weather pages failing when a forecast day has no low temperature #671).
  • Forecast values that are not numbers (for example unknown from some weather providers) are now skipped instead of stopping the page from loading (improve: Skip non-numeric weather forecast values #672).
  • The minimum temperature of a day now also considers forecast periods without a low temperature, such as hourly periods or the night period of twice-daily forecasts. Before, it was taken only from the periods that had one, which could show a minimum higher than the forecast.

Related to #657 and #636.

Summary by Sourcery

Make weather pages resilient to incomplete forecasts while reducing template usage and protecting panel behavior with automated equivalence tests.

Bug Fixes:

  • Prevent weather forecast pages and Blueprint automation from failing when forecast values are missing or non-numeric.
  • Calculate daily minimum temperatures from numeric low temperatures or period temperatures when low temperatures are unavailable.

Enhancements:

  • Reduce Blueprint template usage while preserving the weather panel output.
  • Use consolidated weather unit and forecast parameter handling with sensible unit fallbacks.

CI:

  • Add automated Blueprint equivalence checks for weather behavior in pull requests, with an opt-out label for intentional behavior changes.

Documentation:

  • Document how missing and non-numeric forecast values are handled and how minimum temperatures are calculated.

Tests:

  • Add broad equivalence coverage for weather units, forecast values, and forecast types.

Chores:

  • Pin Jinja2 as a development validation dependency and update test setup guidance.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Forecast values are shown only when numeric; missing or nonnumeric values are omitted.
    • Minimum temperatures use a period’s numeric low temperature when available, or its temperature value when no numeric low is provided.
    • Weather units use values supplied by the integration when available, with field-specific defaults otherwise.
    • Precipitation and precipitation probability are separated by a dash when both are shown.
  • Documentation
    • Clarified when forecast values are omitted and how minimum temperatures are determined.

Walkthrough

The Blueprint now filters weather forecast data to numeric values and formats weather parameters through shared unit handling. A comparison script checks rendered weather-page output against the target-branch Blueprint. The pull-request workflow runs equivalence checks when applicable.

Changes: Weather-page processing and equivalence checks

Layer / File(s) Summary
Weather value selection and formatting
nspanel_easy_blueprint.yaml, docs/blueprint.md
Weather units use entity values when available and field-specific defaults otherwise. Forecast calculations include numeric values only. The documentation describes omitted nonnumeric values and how temperature minimums are determined when a low temperature is absent.
Weather-page equivalence comparison
.github/scripts/test_weather_variables.py, .github/requirements.txt, .github/scripts/test_variable_entity.py
A comparison script renders target and candidate Blueprints against mocked states and compares weather units and displayed values, including deterministic forecast cases. The requirements file pins Jinja2, and the usage instruction points to the pinned dependencies.
Pull-request equivalence checks
.github/workflows/validate_blueprint.yml
The workflow detects changes to equivalence-test scripts and runs matching tests against the target-branch and PR Blueprints unless the behavior-change label is present. Label changes also trigger pull-request checks, and checkout does not persist Git credentials.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Reviewer's Guide

The Blueprint now safely ignores missing or non-numeric forecast values, falls back to daily minimum temperatures when low forecasts are absent, and consolidates weather templates to reduce cache usage without changing panel output. CI adds broad weather equivalence testing, label-controlled behavior-change handling, and pinned Jinja2 dependencies.

**Forecast regressions pass CI**

When a future change breaks forecast filtering or the low-temperature fallback, or forecast fields are empty, missing, or nonnumeric, `load_branch` extracts only `weather_units` and `parameters`, and `run_branch` renders only those values; `value_cases` supplies only `None` and numeric values. The changed forecast selectors and temperature aggregation therefore never run against the affected inputs, so CI passes despite regressions.

Extend the test to render the forecast selection and temperature aggregation with empty, missing, and nonnumeric forecast fields, including low-temperature fallback cases.

</code_context>
<issue_to_address>
**Weather fallback behavior goes undocumented**

When weather entries lack a usable low temperature or contain nonnumeric forecast values, `temp_min` falls back to the day's lowest numeric temperature, and forecast filters skip nonnumeric values, but `docs/blueprint.md` still describes only the temperature ordering. Users reading the docs don't learn these changed weather-page behaviors.

Update the weather section of `docs/blueprint.md` to explain the fallback and skipped nonnumeric forecast values.

Also at `nspanel_easy_blueprint.yaml:9917`.

10247-10247: Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Keep precipitation probability compact and omit empty-unit spacing.

When compact display is off, with_unit renders a probability as 40 %, although this field must display as 40%. An empty precipitation unit also leaves a space before " - ", producing output such as 2 - 40 %. Suppress the separator for an empty unit and for precipitation_probability; retain the configured separator for other units. Based on learnings, “precipitation_probability intentionally does NOT use units_separator.”

Also applies to: 10251-10251

nspanel_easy_blueprint.yaml:10013-10022
Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Preserve forecast periods before calculating temp_min.

The non-string-datetime normalization collapses all periods into one slot before temp_min applies its per-period fallback. If an earlier period has a numeric templow and a later period has only a lower numeric temperature, the later value is discarded and temp_min returns the earlier templow. Keep the normalized forecast as one entry per period, and apply the existing templow/temperature fallback to those entries.

Suggested fix

-# Collapse the non-string-datetime forecast into one synthetic slot.
+# Retain one normalized slot for each forecast period.
