THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN ARCHIVED

I no longer have the interest or hardware to test/develop this plugin.

I invite you to use https://github.com/yanus/LoupedeckWeatherPlugin instead

Weather Loupedeck Plugin

License forks stars issues downloads

Credits

This plugin is heavily influenced by CZDanol/loupedeck-weatherwidget. I personally couldn't get it to work consistantly and decided to create a smaller, leaner version of the same concepts.

Table of Contents

Installation

Loupedeck Installation
  1. Go to latest release, and download the lplug4 file to you computer
  2. Open (normally double-click) to install, the Loupedeck software should take care of the rest
  3. Restart Loupedeck (if not handled by the installer)
  4. In the Loupedeck interface, enable Weather by clicking Manage plugins
  5. Check the Weather box on to enable
  6. Drag the desired control onto your layout

Once click it will bring you to a dynamic playback device selection page.

IDE Installation Made with Visual Studio 2022, C# will likely only compile in VS2019 or greater.

Assuming Loupedeck is already installed on your machine, make sure you've stopped it before you debug the project.

Debugging should build the solution, which will then output the DLL, config, and pdb into your %LocalAppData%\Loupedeck\Plugins directory.

If all goes well, Loupedeck will then open and you can then debug.

Usage

First, follow the Loupedeck Installation instructions above.

Then, to use inside the Loupedeck UI:

  1. Go to https://home.openweathermap.org/users/sign_up and create a free account, if you don't have one already
  2. Api Key can be created via https://home.openweathermap.org/api_keys
  3. In the Loupedeck manager Click the [+] button on the same row as Location to add a location
  4. Now comes the fun part... the value for this control is colon delimited; postal_code,2_letter_iso_country_code:api_key:hide_name (ex: 90210,us:98c98a0ba57d4a0a33e2a1d2d06ac365:true to show weather for Beverly Hills and hide the name in the widget).
    The last two steps are optional, hiding the location name is default to true
    1. Enter postal code and 2-letter ISO Country Code
    2. :
    3. API Key
    4. :
    5. true/false
  5. Select Hook from the final dropdown and click Save
summary>Advanced Users I've added an additional nicety of having pressing the widget and having it open an application on the URL Protocol `weather:LocationQuery`.

So if you look in your registry HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\weather\shell\open\command you'll see a crappy placeholder for a CMD prompt running weather.com passing in the first segment from the the weather action configuration.

You can replace it with your favorite browser explicitly with the %1 being that location-query item.

I personally replaced mine with the Win10 Weather App, "C:\Windows\explorer.exe" shell:AppsFolder\Microsoft.BingWeather_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App.

You can also just drop the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\weather key if you don't want it to do anything for any of them
