JLU5-SupyPlugins/Weather

Limnoria plugin for Weather Underground

Installation

You will need a working Limnoria bot on Python 2.7/3.2+ for this to work.

1. Go into your Limnoria plugin dir (usually ~/limnoria/plugins), and run:

git clone https://github.com/GLolol/Supybot-Weather Weather

Alternatively, you can fetch this plugin (albeit a slightly older version) via Limnoria's PluginDownloader using: install GLolol Weather.

2. Load the plugin:

/msg bot load Weather

3. Fetch an API key from Wunderground by signing up (free). Once getting this key, you will need to set it on your bot before things will work.

/msg <yourbot> config plugins.Weather.apiKey <APIKEY>

Example Usage

When calling the weather command, you can use zip codes (10002), cities (New York, NY), etc. Weather Underground is pretty intelligent here.

<GLolol> @weather 10002
<Atlas> New York, NY :: Rain :: 52F | Visibility: 4.0mi | Saturday: Rain. High around 55F...

Features

There are a ton of options to configure. You can find these via:

/msg bot config search Weather

Users can also have their location remembered by the plugin's internal database so that they will not have to continually type in their location.

<GLolol> @setweather 10002
<Atlas> Done.

This now allows a user to type in the weather command w/o any arguments:

<GLolol> @weather
<Atlas> New York, NY :: Clear :: 64F/17C | Wind: N@7kph | Thursday: Clear. Low 14C. Thursday Night: A clear sky. Low 14C. Winds SSE at 10 to 15 km/h.

Users can also have the bot remember their preferred options, such as using metric units when displaying weather:

<GLolol> @setuser metric False
<Atlas> Done.
