Quote from ihermit2 on July 17, 2018, 2:45 pmWeather location is currently hardcoded in /usr/bin/js/yahooWeather.js it's URL hex encoded so spaces need to be %20 and comma %2C the current location is Toronto, on
Still working on the value change to fahrenheit I can get degF displayed in /usr/bin/js/weather.js trivially but the decimal value displayed is still Celsius
Also more about the source of weather data:
https://developer.yahoo.com/weather/

Encoded:
https://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select%20*%20from%20weather.forecast%20where%20woeid%20in%20(select%20woeid%20from%20geo.places(1)%20where%20text%3D%22toronto%2C%20on%22)%20and%20u%3D'c'&format=json&env=store%3A%2F%2Fdatatables.org%2Falltableswithkeys"
Decoded:
https://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select * from weather.forecast where woeid in (select woeid from geo.places(1) where text="toronto, on") and u='c'&format=json&env=store://datatables.org/alltableswithkeys"
Also, I know my woeid from another project but I'm to lazy to rejigger this to work with that. 🙁

Pro tip for anyone reading this in the early days: At this point, for the love of everything holy (mmm, donuts), do this stuff while the unit is plugged in and not on battery. It does not like being in that mode yet.
