JLU5-SupyPlugins/Weather

Limnoria plugin for Weather Underground (GLolol's fork)

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 ~/supybot/plugins and run:

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

4. Optional: There are some config variables that can be set for the bot. They mainly control output stuff.

/msg bot config search Weather

Example Usage

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

<spline> @wunderground 10002
<myybot>  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.

<spline> @setweather 10002
<myybot> I have changed spline's weather ID to 10002

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

<spline> @wunderground
<myybot> Manchester, NH :: Rain :: 45F | Visibility: 10.0mi | Saturday: Occasional light rain. High 56F. ...

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

<spline> @setuser metric False
<myybot> I have changed spline's metric setting to 0
