Add weather info

[XLave]

Is there a way to display the local weather info like in UsbMonitor.exe? Would be a great addition.

[BlackHargaan]

There is a discussion post where someone added it. It hasn't been merged yet, and there were some problems when I just copied the code, but I used the guy's concepts to add it to mine, and it works.

Thx, I didn't know it. I't trying to use it but I get the error: \library\scheduler.py", line 157, in @schedule(timedelta(seconds=config.THEME_DATA['STATS']['WEATHER'].get("INTERVAL", None)).total_seconds())

KeyError: 'WEATHER'
How can I fix it?

You need to add a WEATHER section in your theme (in STATS section): something like this:

  WEATHER:
    INTERVAL: 600
    TEXT:
      SHOW: True
      X: 35
      Y: 52
      FONT: roboto-mono/RobotoMono-Bold.ttf
      FONT_SIZE: 18
      FONT_COLOR: 150, 200, 200
      BACKGROUND_IMAGE: background.png

L.E. I've added a small fix to avoid this error on themes without WEATHER section. https://github.com/GaryStar/turing-smart-screen-python/commit/aae4abc244fcef6248823c0e25ebdc81d76e19cf

Yeah, thx, I've just tried it, now it shows the info in the display. I have another issue: File "\turing-smart-screen-python-feature-names-alert-weather\library\stats.py", line 33, in import requests ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests'. If i delete that line it boot up, but later I enounter another issue related and can't start it.

[GaryStar]

You need to install requests module by yourself (it's now added in requirements.txt so on a fresh install it will be automatically added) This module is used to fetch data from OpenWeatherMap. It's a standard module to fetch data from external sites.

To install it you can use: pip install requests or python -m pip install requests or py.exe -m pip install requests

[XLave]

Thx for your quick support!

I have installed that module and it fixes but I have another issue with LibreHardware.dll related: File "...\turing-smart-screen-python-feature-names-alert-weather\library\sensors\sensors_librehardwaremonitor.py", line 42, in clr.AddReference(lhm_dll) System.IO.FileLoadException: No se puede cargar el archivo o ensamblado 'file:///...\turing-smart-screen-python-feature-names-alert-weather\external\LibreHardwareMonitor\LibreHardwareMonitorLib.dll' ni una de sus dependencias.

If I use the main branch the monitor works great, but I want to use your branch because of the redrawn from waking up and the weather info. Sorry for the trouble, I don't know Python nor any programming language.

[GaryStar]

if you use LibreHardware you need to start main.py with admin rights.

[XLave]

I was running it with admin rights, but the problem was another: https://www.jesusninoc.com/06/16/posible-solucion-al-error-se-intento-cargar-un-ensamblado-desde-una-ubicacion-de-red-por-lo-que-el-ensamblado-habria-sido-incluido-en-un-espacio-aislado-de-versiones-anteriores-de-net-framework/

Now I fixed it and it's running great!! Thx for your time, happy 2024!!

I'm trying to add a weather icon from OpenWeather API by adding the line "icon = data['weather'][0]['icon']" to the stats.py but i'm only able to get the icon code instead of the icon (https://openweathermap.org/weather-conditions). Is it possible to fetch an image from a url to display it on the monitor? How can I achieve that?

[GaryStar]

those icons are static and not so many. maybe they can all be manually downloaded in the theme folder (for example) and used from there based of the code received. I will try to implement something like this in the next days..

[GaryStar]

I've updated the code with support for weather icons as well There are two sets of icons added:

• one as the default set that will be used on any theme
• one in theme folder that will be used instead of default one (separation is done for each icon, so you can have only a couple of custom icons and the rest will be used from the default folder)

Example usage:

  WEATHER:
    INTERVAL: 600
    TEXT:
      SHOW: True
      X: 30
      Y: 52
      FONT: roboto-mono/RobotoMono-Bold.ttf
      FONT_SIZE: 18
      FONT_COLOR: 150, 200, 200
      BACKGROUND_IMAGE: background.png
    ICON:
      SHOW: True
      X: 30
      Y: 11
      SCALE: 0.43
      BACKGROUND_IMAGE: background.png

Thanx so much! It works perfect now with weather icons, that was a fast implementation.

Hi, I'm having an "connection error" somentimes when geeting back from sleep in the weather info, any thoughs about how to fix it?

[GaryStar]

yes.. add

time.sleep(5)  # on wake, network access is not ready immediately

before

stats.Weather.stats()  # refresh is needed because time between automated refreshes is usually over 10-15 minutes

in main.py

P.S. I've updated my branch with this change. I also added code for the smart screen to be turned on and off (not off completely just brightness set to 0) when system is turning the main monitor on/off (not shutdown or sleep) My branch is here: https://github.com/GaryStar/turing-smart-screen-python/tree/feature/names-alert-weather
