Conky weather+moon scripts (Accuw/WUndergr/NWS/MoonGiant)

Thanks a lot my friend.

Hello! I want to say that I love these scripts, they are the best I have seen for Conky thus far (I used kaivalagi's back in ye olde day- also very good)

I am wondering if you can suggest a way that I might change the units being used by the script. It seems that accuweather provides their data in local units by default, but I would prefer Celsius and 24 hour clock. I live in the US. I was able to get it to output celcius with the rss script but I find that the 1b2_29-10-15 script works better for me and I can't find a way to modify the source url like I did with the RSS script.

I found this link: https://apidev.accuweather.com/developers/forecasts which says to pass metric=true, appending ?metric=true to the forecast url doesn't seem to change the units.

I appreciate your thoughts and hope it hasn't already been asked, I tried searching the forum and did not get any hits.

Thanks for your kind words.
I'll see to it as soon as possible.

Alright.
Run the script once, using a European town/city, let's say Kastoria:

address="http://www.accuweather.com/en/gr/kastoria/178682/weather-forecast/178682"

Now change this line:

wget --save-cookies $HOME/1b2_accuweather_conkyweather_font/cookie -O $HOME/1b2_accuweather_conkyweather_font/curr_cond_raw $curr_addr

to this:

wget --load-cookies $HOME/1b2_accuweather_conkyweather_font/cookie -O $HOME/1b2_accuweather_conkyweather_font/curr_cond_raw $curr_addr

and then change the address variable to your real location.

This way, the script will be forced to use the cookie you saved before (the one for Kastoria) and produce a metric forecast.

HOT DAMN! That's Teo!

Pop a notice in the OP and it becomes a feature.

1b2)Accuweather - ConkyWeather font - 1b2_29-10-15
Companion to the script: 1b2_29-10-15_Companion
To get US locations in Metric see post #745

And I'll bet reversing the process would get Kastoria, and other locations, in Imperial.

You rock Teo!

We've seen weather scripts by various authors come and go over the years. Even various script by Teo.
But Teo is like an Energizer Bunny: He Keeps Going and Going and ...

Rain or shine; It's Weather the Teo Way™

We owe you Teo.

My pleasure S11!
I like doing this thing...

sarai · 2016-04-21 23:41:16

Way to go Teo! Thank you so much for your hard work! The only thing I would add to your instructions is that you need to change °F to °C in the conkyrc and then reload the conky once or twice. For a second I was taken aback that I reloaded the script and it said 5°... I'm sitting outside (yes, we linuxers do go outside every now and then!) and it is definitely freaking hot out here! I reloaded it again and got the much more believable 27°. Too bad the "clouds and sun" conkyweather font is completely inadequate in describing the feeling of being so humid it's like going for a swim in a lukewarm bathtub.

I bet you probably like to see the fruits of your labor, so here's my conky:

Efharistó!!

Sector11 · 2016-04-22 01:42:01

Very nice sarai. I get past the °F or °C problem by just using °, because it's my conky and I know I use C.

Me too, but you know that.

@ loutch

and anyone else interested....

First and foremost - thank you for this idea - which has three parts.

Option 1. - conkyForcast wind rose icons.
"montage -geometry 128x128+3+3 *.png WindRose.png"

Originals, 68 of them, are 128x128 on a transparent background. The colour changes were to give a visual aid as to "wind speed". Green 1kph (mph) to x - yellow - orange - red xx kph (mph) to OH NO!

Using ${if_match ...} would be way too much to check for speed AND direction, to use all 68 images but picking a colour to use and using those would be reasonable - there are only 16 cardinal points.

or
Option 2. - conkyForecast wind rose with NO 'indicator' (the first one - top-left) and use the pointers below.

or
Option 3. - {cough cough} borrowed 16 images from a weather site
As I was thinking of visiting my favourite search engine, looking for "wind rose" and clicking on images I can pretty well take my pick ... and then ${if_match ...} these 'pointers' over the image collected from the search:
montage -geometry 84x76+3+3 *.png WindPointer.png

This one looks nice and resized very nicely for a conky using the above pointers. (Image shown = tweaked and actual size)

I think I'll do a test conky with Option 3.

IF anyone is interested I'll post the tar.gz of the images.

As a Terminator with a short circuit would say: I'll be front!

loutch · 2016-04-22 07:19:40

@ S11

Tanks i used a same wind direction icon for a long time ago in Didier-t accuweather-conky look here

and with a modification i change the compass for a blue arrow like this

as I am for my white period I would want to use conkywindNESW (if it is possible) in the 1a_accuweather_conkyweather_font

Hello Teo how you are ? I'm back .... how about http://www.foreca.it/Italy/Civitavecchia use this site to the weather forecast ? Hopefully it is not used java .....
@ Sectro11 you doing? I did not forget you

Feeling fine buddy. The sites's not bad, but the info's in italian.
Besides, the wunderground API script should be adequate for now.
