Open fredfred41 opened this issue 7 years ago • 5 comments

Hi, Great work here, But I would like to enjoy it elsewhere than USA, is there a simple solution, or do you need to make an international version? Or maybe didn't I understand how to set this up..

Thanks

Not right now, unfortunately. NOAA's National Weather Service was the only option I could find that was free and had no limits on usage.

What country do you live in? Chameleon does support Canada as well as the USA.

I'd love to see this as well. Living in the UK.

You could use openweathermap.org which does have limits on the free-tier, but with 60/min or 1,000,000/month no normal user should hit that limit. Not like weather is changing THAT much in 2.5 seconds in most places.

rePaper (https://github.com/rocksdanister/rePaper/) uses it for their wallpaper-weather effects, which I wanted to combine it with. Sadly, I do not know Pascal or Unity so I'm out of my water here to contribute, but maybe this helps.
