It is possible to show the temperature for up to 5 locations - useful if you broadcast
to a large area and need to know how things are a few miles away. The
display can be in Celcius or Fahrenheit and the data is updated every 15
minutes. Your StudioScreen computer will therefore need an internet
connection for this feature to work. On the
LEDs and Weather tab of of the Config window, you can
set the parameters for the weather display: The City Lookup is just the place
name, but you may need to suffix it with ,GB (if
in that location) if the temperature value doesn't look right. Use the
link below to find the correct city name for the API. You can also define
a display name which appears on the main StudioScreen display. The default
units are Celcius, but you can use Fahrenheit if you're of the imperial
persuasion. You'll need
a free API key from OpenWeatherMap: https://openweathermap.org/price and
there is a limit of
1000 calls per day
with each free account - StudioScreen polls 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 times every 15 minutes so
you'll be just under half this limit with all 5 places
polling. On their site
is an XLSX list of major city names, so if you have trouble finding the
correct entry for your location - that should give you a
pointer. This JSON file (best opened in
Notepad++) offers a complete list of valid city/town lookups:
