====================
How the highlight works:
________________________
The background highlight/line shows the level or progress of the data, for example:
- Steps : Progress towards steps goal
- HR: Current HR reading as compared to the minimum/maximum recorded over the last 4 hours
- Next sun event: Elapsed time until the sun sets or rises
- Altitude: Current reading versus the altitude goal defined in the settings
- Weather: Current temperature vs. minimum/maximum forecast
- Golden hour: Time elapsed since the beginning to the end of the golden hour
- Notifications: No notifications = no highlight
For the graph data types the highlight just shows the graph
====================
OWM API key:
________________________
OWM API key created with the free “Current weather and forecasts collection” subscription after mid-2022 will not work due to OWM policy changes. If you have a key created earlier, it should work.
Alternatively, you can subscribe to “One Call by Call” subscription plan for One Call API 3.0. This subscription comes with 1,000 API calls per day for free, and Gradient will not exceed 200 calls per day.
