The forecast's sky moves. While the weather is up and it's raining, pouring, snowing, sleeting, hailing, stormy, foggy or windy, the forecast page shows it: rain streaks, snowflakes that sway and turn, fast hail, drifting fog, wind streaks, and in a thunderstorm a lightning bolt striking between today's reading and the five days. Clear, sunny and cloudy skies stay still. It's on by default; turn it off with Weather animation under Settings, Display, or the Weather animation switch in Home Assistant.
The rain map is much faster. Measured on an Echo Show 5, "show the radar" went from about 15 seconds to the newest frame in under 3 seconds, with the rest of the loop following. It's fetched while the forecast is up, so the Radar button usually finds it ready; frames already fetched are kept; and the map is saved on the device, so it isn't fetched again after a restart. Same sources as before (RainViewer and OpenStreetMap).
Smaller fixes:
- A Home Assistant address typed with an upper-case scheme (
HTTP://…) works, including one saved before. - Home Assistant's timer sound rings to its end before the next round starts.
- With the echo canceller off, the wake sound's quiet tail no longer reaches speech recognition.
- The Home Assistant sounds switch is named for what it covers: muting and timers.
