[Implemented] Weather with symbols
Hello community,
to be WAF compliant, it would be great if there is a possibility to display the daily weather and forecast with icons like clouds, rain, snow etc.
Are there any solutions yet?
Atm I use the OpenWeather plugin but it shows only numbers.
Look at https://pimatic.org/plugins/pimatic-openweather/
there are icons for the conditions:
http://openweathermap.org/weather-conditions
even as fonts:
https://websygen.github.io/owfont/
There is a quick and dirty implementation for iconified acronyms. Of course, it would be nicer, however, to have the actual values iconfied, i.e. rain & snoww mm, cloudiness percentage, and possibly the wheather description (status).
I think it can realized by adding specific attribute types for that and by providing an option to let the user choose which attribute types shall be included (and on display).

Hey SaxnPaule,
I was also looking for a chance to show the weather conditions with icons and a cleaner look. I have chosen a quick and dirty solution and made a little website. I used the wunderground weather api and a weather icon font. In pimatic, I installed the pimatic-iframe plugin to show the tiny website.
I can send you all files I use, you only have to use your own api key and change the location 
That sounds really great. Is there also a forecast available?
Why don’t you provide the files for everyone? Maybe via github.
Thanks
I’m about to creat a forecast row as well. When I’m done, I’ll try to get the files on github. I’m not familiar with uploading to github so far, so please be patient with me:)

Don’t worry. Uploading to github is very easy. If you don’t want to work with git. You can do everything via the web interface, e.g., you can simply drag and drop files into the github web application

Hey guys,
here is a little update:
What do you think? 
Well done, looks great.
@zoesn: I am also interested in the code … can you post few lines for the iframe ?
@zoesn looks great! Interested as well!
@zoesn also interested in the code
Hey guys,
I recently uploaded my code to github. Have a look at pimatic-weather4iframe.
I changed the code and deleted my settings (api-key, city etc.) and translated it to english. Please test the website and let me know, if everything works
Have fun!
Is it possible to use a mix of the data from the wunderground and data from pimatic itself?
nice! works great
I improved your code do receive more than one day. The HTML is generated dynamically.
Here the index.html: http://pastebin.com/fLBdLK4X
And the forecast.js: http://pastebin.com/dZxquVPj
The number of forecast days has to be changed on line 2 in the forcast.js file.
EDIT: And a CSS file for a dark theme: http://pastebin.com/wi90w8px
Looks great.
Maybe someone can put it into an plugin for easy setup. A plugin can supply an HTML template which will be integrated into the frontend.
This would be great. Unfortunatelly, I dont have the programming skills to do that. Maybe someone else?:)
I have added this to a new page on pimatic and it is great.
I have only one request, it is possible to change the style so that the with is larger so that it is better for a tablet in landscape format or a normal computer?
I don’t have the html or css skills to do that.
but don’t like snow
