[New] Weather Forecast Display integration

[M.a.S.e]

Hey everyone, i created a custom integration that will add a weather forecast entity to your remote. This is great if you would like to have a visual of your current location weather forecast.

This integration does not require any API registration, it should work everywhere in the world (although i tested in the US) and it will refresh itself every 1 hour or upon reconnect. There should be no impact for battery life as all the icons are cached and the integration should survive a reboot (learned that the hard way from all my other intergradations lol).

The integration will show different icons based on the weather or time of day
Features
Real-time weather display with beautiful icons
Support for ZIP codes and “City, State” location formats
Automatic updates every hour
Weather-appropriate icons (sun, clouds, rain, thunderstorms, etc.)
Temperature, weather description, and location display
Easy setup through the Remote’s web configurator

Please take a look at the README.md file and enjoy.
Thank you so much !!!

This is really nice! Any chance of having non freedom units for temperature?

If you could add a clock as well that would be good, since it’s not visible on the remote when inside an activity?

Non Freedom OMG BHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA best response ever !!!

i will tell you what i told others on Discord:

Hey @cobhc (and others) i just released a new release that have a support for Celsius as well as support for outside of us zipcode, my apologies for being so oblivious for outside US users, i was just too excited ! i hope this works, can you give it a test and report back? Release v1.1.16 · mase1981/uc-intg-weather · GitHub

the main diff: added a toggle button , checked = C, unchecked = F and allowed for less then 5 numbers zipcode and redirected to the API, i hope this works. really do…

EDIT:

oh, forgot to say !!! BEFORE uploading this release:

1. delete the previous integration
2. reboot the remote (the remote keep a persistant cache of your config file, if you do not reboot it will remember the old integration file and you will not see the new features).

Doesn’t seem to work for me in the UK if I enter either post code or city, UK. It appears to try and set up but then errors out with a timeout or host not found error.

[M.a.S.e]

check open metro website and see if you can find your location there, the integration uses open metro api to configure itself, so if you are unable to find it there it will not work. if you do, and enter it exactly how you found it in open metro, share logs for debug.

Enter city as:

xxxx, United Kingdom

[iordish]

Thanks. Found it and that worked. Didn’t work when I just put xxxx, UK

[harvey28]

It’s an ‘America First’ integration!

I almost tried Englandland as that is what a lot of Americans think the UK is.

[cobhc]

Yeah, I had to ask for it to not be in freedom units only
