NOAA tables are in a PRE container which is used for formatting as well as 
JavaScript to dynamically change report without needing to reload the page.

Awesome.I was just installing highcharts extension and running into some issues 
with wind direction. This beats highcharts totally. Will try this out this 
weekend.

 

One feedback - the NOAA charts are not so nice to view on mobile. It doesnt fit 
in a screen unlike three seasons skin where the NOAA tables fit nicely within 
screen on mobile also.

100% correct. That's my mistake. You can make that change for now and I'll 
update it in GitHub for the 0.3 version soon

 

The visibility comes from DarkSky, and they don't provide the units within the 
API output, so I I'll have to grab the DarkSky units from the config, and then 
change the unit within the skin based on that. 

 

And I'll fix the static unit in the records page. Thought I got them all!

 

Also, your map is still showing the East Coast of USA. Not sure if that's 
intended or not.

Hmmm, they weren't but the only difference was the Darksky_units I think. I'll 
fix that later.

 

Windy icon - fixed

Records change of units - fixed

Darksky - still a problem. Neither "auto" or "ca" seem to work so far. I'm 
guessing that 'Visibility' also comes from Darksky?

 


Visibility

3.84 miles

Most of it looks pretty good. Not bad for my first skin attempt :) 

 

I knew imperial to metric would be an issue, and I had tried my best to plan 
for it. I didn't take timezones into consideration with my testing though - for 
example noticed on your test site that the forecast row has wrong borders and 
it's showing the weather for yesterday (for your timezone). I'll take a look 
into that. 

 

I see my error with the records page conversion, so I'll have to issue an 
update on that one later today. 

 

For DarkSky, I'll have to add the "units" flag. They have 6 different unit 
types, so I'll have to update the setup guide too. Can't believe I missed that 
one! 

 

I'll let you all know when I issue an update. Possibly late today (US Eastern 
time)

Ok working in test :)

 

Couple of minor things with the Darksky forecast;

 

I need to set the units to metric with kph wind - ?units=ca at the end of the 
query string, is there a place to do that?

 

There doesn't appear to be a "windy" icon

 

Otherwise so far so good. I haven't delved into mqtt just yet.

 

Cheers

Sorry, meant to update that to say overlay=clouds if you wanted clouds.

MQTT can be the tricky bit because some of the freebies out there have 
limitations which your weewx may hit pretty quickly. If you're thinking of 
trying to host your own MQTT, I'm working on a write up for how mine is setup.

 

I chose windy.com <http://windy.com>  because it's free and you can do a fair 
amount of customization. Except for the map color - gray is the only option... 
Looks like you can only have wind, or cloud. The cloud option looks like it may 
show both actually. 

 

Change the lat/lon for your area, but the bit I changed (and got lucky with) 
was overlay=wind

You're not married to windy though, if you find another radar you like, you can 
use that instead. Just use the full HTML of <img 
src="http://thesite/radar.gif";> or something and making sure the width and 
height matches the parameters for an easy swap out.

Thanks again - really looking forward to getting this up and running. 

 

1st question, can Windy.com be set to display wind/cloud rather than the radar 
image? We don't get that down here in NZ yet
