So, yes this is selfhosting related. I am working on an n8n flow to pull in weather data so that I can have this data on a dashboard. I can’t find any dockerized weather forecasting apps. Most of them connect to a personal weather station, which might be an option in the future. For the time being, this is a little project I’m working on.

I would like to display something like this:

Current temperature: 23.25 °C
Feels like: 24.09 °C
Low / High: 23.25 °C / 23.60 °C
Humidity: 94%
Atmospheric pressure: 1023 hPa (sea level: 1023 hPa, ground level: 988 hPa)
Temperature correction factor (temp_kf): -0.35
Weather: Light rain
Weather code: 500
Short condition: Rain

So, this is for you devs or coders out there. I can produce the JSON data. I’m just not sure how to parse it to something meaningful. I’m sure Python will have to be incorporated, but unsure of how to proceed.
Maybe someone could point me in a direction to tuts, articles, or your own experience. Sorry the JSON data doesn’t format correctly. Lemmy formatting doesn’t seem to allow that.
I spent some time writing a script first in Python and then in ExcelScript at work to pull data from from OpenWeather API to compare ambient temperature and humidity to some of our indoor spaces. Both Python and JS (which ExcelScript is, basically) will make it very easy to pull the JSON from the API and pass whatever data you want down the line.
I don’t have any experience with dashboards or your setup in particular so I can’t give any good advice about how to go forward though. If you have a pre-existing dashboard, what makes it and what feeds it data? Is it a webpage or an app or such?
I am using the Homarr dashboard. It does have an iframe module that I think I could use once I pretty up the data.
