Awtrix Weather ⛈️ + Forecast + 🌕️: Red border + Color Matrix explanation #18

Closed Goldsucher closed 5 months ago

Goldsucher commented 5 months ago

Hi jeeftor!

I use your Awtrix Weather Automation - Thanks for that!

Just a short question: Sometimes there is a red border around the weather information. I didn't find any documentation about that. So, What does that mean?

Thanks!

ah thanks! This only happens very rarely, so it's not really a problem.

But could you please explain the color matrix. These are my values:

{"-5": "#00008B","0": "#1E90FF","5": "#87CEFA","10": "#00FF00","15": "#FFFF00","20": "#FFA500","25": "#FF4500","30": "#FF0000"}

So every square stands for an hour in the future? Somehow it doesn't make sense with my values. That would mean that it would be warmer at 3 a.m. than it is now, which is not the case:

IMG_5845BA4EBC3B-1

(square 5 to 8 from left)

Could you explain that?

The line at bottom is the time of day 12 hours 

   hours_to_show:
  name: Forecast Hours to Show
  description: 'How many hours of forecast do you wish to show along the bottom
   of the display

{"-5": "#00008B","0": "#1E90FF","5": "#87CEFA","10": "#00FF00","15": "#FFFF00","20": "#FFA500","25": "#FF4500","30": "#FF0000"} these are web colors for the temp e.g. -5 is #00008B and so on you can change these.

Okay thanks! I just found out that openweathermap provides data only every 3 hours. Because of that I was confused about my colors. Now I have switched to met.no (which has hourly forecast) and now it makes a lot more sense. Thanks @appsfinder2
