Hello together,

i’m aviation lover an have wrote this script:

#!/usr/bin/php

<?php

function metar($station){

	$metarfile = file("http://weather.noaa.gov/pub/data/observations/metar/stations/".$station.".TXT");
	$echometarfile = implode("",$metarfile);
	echo $echometarfile;
}

function taf($station){

	$taffile = file("http://weather.noaa.gov/pub/data/forecasts/shorttaf/stations/".$station.".TXT");
	foreach($taffile AS $line)
	{
		echo $line;
	}
}

if(isset($argv[1])){
	$station = $argv[1];
}else{
	echo "Set ICAO Station";
	die;
}
if(isset($argv[2])){
	if($argv[2] == "METAR"){
		metar($station);
	}elseif($argv[2] == "TAF"){
		taf($station);
	}else{
		echo "Only METAR or TAF"; die;
	}

}else{
	echo "Set METAR or TAF";
	die;
}

?>

Now the text is to long and have no line breaks in it. On my phone i can’t read it. Is there a way to read it via ShellSensor???

Thanks for help!

One possibility (without using ShellSensor)

• Use pimatic-filebrowser to be able to serve Webpages or Textfiles via pimatic.
• Let the php-Script render a Textfile (or Webpage if you prefer) with the weather data.
• Add a cron job to execute the script at regular intervals to update the file with weather data
• If you want to get the file displayed as part of the pimatic UI, use pimatic-iframe

OK, sounds good! Will give a try. Thanks for your help!
