The BOMAU-weather module is a modification to the WB-weather module which was designed to complement the WallberryTheme module and displays the current weather and forecast.
This started out as just an attempt to utilize the Australian Bureau of Meterology data in place of DarkSky data but due to the number of changes required I have spun it out into a modudle on its own. The Wallberry Theme is available from https://github.com/delightedCrow/WallberryTheme
To use this module, add it to the modules array in the config/config.js file:
modules: [
{
module: "BOMAU-weather",
position: "bottom_bar", // Highly suggested location
config: {
// See "Configuration options" for more information.
forecastSource: "link to source data",
stationID: "BOM StationID",
}
}
]The following properties can be configured:
| Option | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
forecastSource |
String | forcast XML file location. |
stationID |
String | Station ID for the required location. |
roundTemp |
Boolean | Round temperature value to nearest integer. Possible values: true (round to integer) or false (display exact value with decimal point) Default value: true |
language |
String | What language to use. Full language list available at DarkSky API docs (language parameter). Possible values: en, nl, ru, etc...Default value: uses value of config.language |
daysToForecast |
Number | How many days to forecast in weekly forecast. Possible values: 0 - 8 Default value: 4 |
updateInterval |
Number | How often to fetch new weather data. (Milliseconds) Default value: 600000 (10 minutes) |
Getting the details for the forecast location is a bit of a complicated affair.
From www.bom.gov.au select the detailed 7 day forecast and scroll to the bottom of the screen where you will find the station id number
