weather_dashboard

weather_dashboard

A dashboard I keep above my desk that displays the following:

• Current time and date
• Current and 5-day weather forecast
• Outside temperature as measured by my ESP8266-connected thermometer
• Number of minutes until the next two BART trains arive at the station nearest to my home.

Setup

The important variables to keep updated are:

• weather_icon - defines large weather icon on the left.
• daily_weather_slot0_* - defines the timestamps, icons, and temperatore for the 5-day forecast.
• outside_temp - the temperature at the bottom left of the screen
• next_train - BART times

I'm glossing over some of these, but they're visible in the UI.

I keep these updated using a Node-RED flow.
