[FREE] OpenMeteo Weather Extension

[Gn_Apps]

Hello, Kodular Community!

I want to share my first extension with you: OpenMeteo Weather. With this extension, you can easily add the current weather data offered by the free Open-Meteo API to your apps. It’s a good option if you need to show what the weather is like right now, anywhere.

Main Features (Current Weather)

• Essential Data: Access key information for the current moment:
  • Temperature (Real and Apparent)
  • Relative Humidity
  • Wind Speed and Direction
  • Wind Gusts
  • Precipitation, Rain, Showers, Snow
  • WMO Weather Code
  • Cloud Cover (%)
  • Atmospheric Pressure (Sea Level and Surface)
  • Day/Night Indicator
• Configurable Units: Adjust the units as you prefer:
  • Temperature: Celsius (celsius) / Fahrenheit (fahrenheit)
  • Wind Speed: km/h (kmh), m/s (ms), mph (mph), knots (knots)
  • Precipitation: Millimeters (mm) / Inches (inch)
  • Time Format: ISO 8601 (iso8601) / Unix Timestamp (unixtime) for the currentTime field.

Blocks

1. Properties (Configurable in Designer and Blocks):

• (Property) TemperatureUnit: Sets or reads the temperature unit (‘celsius’ or ‘fahrenheit’).

  • Returned Parameters: currentTime (Text), currentTemperature2m (Number), currentRelativeHumidity2m (Number), currentApparentTemperature (Number), currentIsDay (Number), currentWindSpeed10m (Number), currentWindDirection10m (Number), currentWindGusts10m (Number), currentPrecipitation (Number), currentRain (Number), currentShowers (Number), currentSnowfall (Number), currentWeatherCode (Number), currentCloudCover (Number), currentPressureMsl (Number), currentSurfacePressure (Number), temperatureUnitUsed (Text), windSpeedUnitUsed (Text), precipitationUnitUsed (Text), timeFormatUsed (Text).
• (Event) WeatherDataError:
  • Description: Triggered if an error occurs during the request or while processing the response.
  • Returned Parameter: message (Text - Describes the error).

Why are you using an advanced block?

Just use the regular event from the OpenMeteoApi drawer instead

Oops! Right, thanks for the heads-up. I already changed the example image to use the regular OpenMateoApi1 block and I also updated the example AIA file in the post.
