Taking into account sensor values of atm pressure, temperature, humidity for displaying visible elevation

[mgrouch]

It would be nice if Stellarium could get a feed of atm pressure, temperature, humidity from easily available nowadays sensors ant take that into account for displaying visible elevation of objects.

I've seen OpenCPN (marine nav software) with celestial navigation plugin and these are the parameters needed for input to calculate location fix more accurately.

So if someone want to automate pointing their telescope those need to be considered as an input.

Thanks,

Hello @mgrouch! Thank you for this suggestion.

Such sensors are rarely seen around desktop PCs or laptops. But you can develop such a thing as external program (some python script run every 5 minutes as cronjob?) and send settings via RemoteControl API.
