The weather binding seems to apply some sort of internal caching, i.e., a bound item is only updated, if the value actually did change.

In my opinion, the caching can lead to problems, e.g.,

• an openhab rule cannot distinguish between "item changed" or "item was updated", because the item is only updated when it actually changed
• it is impossible to detect if the current value of an item is "fresh", i.e. a maximum of minutes old, or it is "old", e.g., because of network connectivity problems

I am sure, there must have been a reason to apply caching. However i do not realize. Can someone give me a hint? If not, I suggest to remove the caching to avoid the problems above.
