Re: Conky Weather TAD script

Flood Icon

A couple of small changes.
For example, the wt-32.png icon is a flood.
Replaced with N/A.

This is the original wt-32.png  tad-icon indicating a flood:

The test_image  function can be adjusted to produce a similar icon.
This is of course a simulation * :

Replace:

         32)
           echo -
         ;;

With:

         32)
           echo 9
         ;;

The devil always hides in the details.
Maybe it's better not to wake him?

The TAD script has been updated:
https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic … 76#p147776

Note *
I don't know what this "symbol" represents in the ConkyWeather font and I hope you never see it in your weather forecast.

This is probably the only weather forecast that has a flood icon and I think the suggested symbol is appropriate as it is not used anywhere else in the TAD script.

Re: Conky Weather TAD script

Thanks for posting this and for the heads-up about Accuweather_RSS being down for the moment.

I gave the TAD script a quick read and it’s a solid stopgap. A couple of notes that might save people some head-scratching:

Make it executable after you create it:

chmod +x ~/time_and_date_conky_script/tad

Then you can run it as ~/time_and_date_conky_script/tad instead of bash ….

Dependencies: this will need curl, grep, awk, sed (usually present) and also ImageMagick for convert:

sudo apt install imagemagick

(Otherwise it’ll fail at the icon step.)

The parsing is pretty brittle (lots of grep ... | awk -F ...) so if timeanddate tweaks their HTML even slightly, some lines may come out blank. If anyone hits that, the first thing to check is ~/time_and_date_conky_script/weather_raw to see what changed.

Minor cleanup: you don’t need cat file | grep ... — grep ... file is enough — but that’s just style, not required.

I updated the address= line to my location and after one manual run, ~/time_and_date_conky_script/now had the expected fields (temp / feels like / forecast / etc.), so it looks like it should work fine as a Conky text source until Accuweather is back.

If you want, I can also post a simple Conky snippet that reads now and displays the 0.png icon cleanly.

Re: Conky Weather TAD script

^ First of all, welcome to the BL forums @alexban21.

Thanks for testing the TAD script.

Make it executable after you create it:

chmod +x ~/time_and_date_conky_script/tad

Then you can run it as ~/time_and_date_conky_script/tad instead of bash ….

Dependencies: this will need curl, grep, awk, sed (usually present) and also ImageMagick for convert:

sudo apt install imagemagick

1) When you download the script, it is already made executable.
2) @TBG always use bash to run weather scripts in conkys.
3) Our forum members using @TBG's accuweather scripts have all dependencies installed.

Yes.
Parsing is quite complicated.
The website uses many local variations (units, time format...) and it was difficult to create a script that works for all locations.

If you want, I can also post a simple Conky snippet that reads now and displays the 0.png icon cleanly.

It is common on this forum for members to make suggestions or post their solutions.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback.

I'm not sure which version of the TAD script you tested.

Meanwhile, hourly and daily forecasts have been added, as well as the ability to use weather/wind fonts.
Here is the latest version:
https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic … 76#p147776

The TAD script is now complete.
I could easily extend the daily forecast to 15 days (instead of 7), but I don't think that's necessary.
