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.

EDIT

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.

Re: Conky Weather TAD script

Hourly Forecast  -  Phrase

Added phrases to the hourly forecast.

Find the ## Time line inside the #### HOURLY FORECAST and add the ## Phrase line below.
It should look like this:

## Time
cat $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/weather_raw | grep -o '[ ^]class=h2 ><td>Now</td><td>[^r]*' | sed -e 's/<\/td><td>/\n/g' | sed '1,1d' | sed 's/<\/td><\/t//' > $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/hourly/time

## Phrase
cat $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/weather_raw | grep -o '[ ^]class=mtt title="[^"]*' | sed -n '3,7p' | sed 's/ class=mtt title="//' > $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/hourly/phrase

Done.

New TAD Icons

The developers have refreshed the weather icons on the website.
Honestly, I think it looks better.

Old:                                         New:
 

You can download the new icons here:

Enjoy!

Re: Conky Weather TAD script

The new icons look acceptable.

Conkys:
 

Folders and images:
 

We now have three icon themes (old, new, WU) + weather/wind font.
It's always good to have a choice. 

P.S.
The best way to change the icon theme is explained here:

Re: Conky Weather TAD script

When the weather is bad and you're sitting at home, you need to do something interesting.

Make TAD conky with new icons?
It sounded like a good idea and about half an hour later:

 

OK.
Now it's time for dinner and watching TV (again).

Re: Conky Weather TAD script

A little more playing with the new icons.

The hourly forecast section has been made more compact (smaller icon size) and the spacing has been changed to better center the icons.
The  hourly_3.png  icon (wt-19.png - Rain) was inserted as a simulation because it is the largest and it is the best way to control the spacing.
The same is done in the daily forecast with the  day_3.png  icon.

* Simulation:

I also checked the special cases for wind (No wind  +  N/A).
The TAD script works well under those conditions and provides the appropriate wind icon.
In conky, you get  Not available.

 

What you don't see right away is that the temperatures in the hourly forecast are set to be centered depending on whether they are in the double digits (10 °C +) or single digits (e.g. 8 °C).
Non-working days are shown in red.

I'm using an older version of Conky and the syntax (format) is old, but you can easily replace the TEXT part.
In the configuration I set the size with:

minimum_size 460 0

This is a  tad-conky  (TEXT part) that you can easily customize as you wish:
