Overview


The weather widget retrieves live weather data from the Open Weather Map Weather Service. The icon and temperature updates in real-time when the weather report updates. The Open Weather Map Weather Service is FREE and access is provided by a free API key which must be entered on the property sheet. Add our open weather service to the station services configuration.

Note: The Wunderground weather service is no longer free, so we have changed weather providers. If you have a Wunderground API key it will stop working soon. Our Weather Service module is Free when bought with this widget.

Are you looking for a cost effective way to manage and visualize data for all your customers? Why not have a look at View Builder?

Using in your HTML Page


You can now use the widget in your custom html page as long as the html file is in a appropriate station directory. E.g.:
C:/../station/shared/demo1.html

1. Create an html page and place in your station files directory.
2. Create a div element and give it an id so you can inject the widget into this area. E.g.: widget1.
3. Add the following scripts before the closing head tag or the closing body tag. E.g.:

    
        <script type="text/javascript">

            var require = {
                paths: {
