The current temperature of up to 5 locations can be displayed - 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. From v1.72 (10th July 2026),
you enter Lat+Lon co-ordinates rather than a place for the weather
lookup. On the
LEDs and Weather tab of of the Config window, you can set the parameters for the weather display: Enter the
Lat+Lon position (eg: 51.12345 and -1.54321) plus a "friendly" name for the City/Town label. The
nearest active weather station to your Lan/Lon will be polled. 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: (bottom of page): https://openweathermap.org/price
which opens: https://home.openweathermap.org/users/sign_up -
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 with all 5 running,
that's 480 polls per day - just under half this limit,
nice!
