Add the ability to send weather information from Starfish to a connected AsteroidOS watch.
Starfish should allow a user to select a location that they will then be able to see weather information for, on their connected watch.
Context
Implementing this enhancement will allow the Weather AsteroidOS application to function when connected to a SailfishOS device running Starfish.
Possible Implementation
I was originally hoping that the Sailfish weather app would have a dbus api that we could could query, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
So it looks like we will need to implement something custom for this.
Ideally whatever is made, is designed in such a way that it is shareable between Starfish and Telescope.
This would likely be a QML module similar to the AsteroidOS sync service.
It would be worth investigating what weather service is used in the Android app, and whether the AsteroidOS team would recommend it.
