NOTICE - Replaced by Home-Is-Where-You-Hang-Your-Hack/Nook-weather-NWS

Due to various instabilities and connection issues with Weather.gov API that were difficult to correct using a third party library, I decided to rewrite this. This version is no longer maintained.

---

NOAA/NWS version of nook-weather.

Requirements

• A rooted Nook Simple Touch
• ElectricSign installed. APK can be downloaded from here or here.
  • Source code available jfriesne/Electric-Sign
• Docker to run the server

Limitations

• As this pulls data from NOAA stations, it will likely only work for locations in the United States.
• Not all postal codes seem to work. Querying zip codes using OpenStreetMaps' Nominatim API that associated with only Post Office boxes do not return a location despite being assigned a city. If this occurs, please choose another local zip code.
• The postal code is used to find the nearest NOAA station. Depending on your location, this may be far away. Find the nearest station on the NOAA/NWS website.

Icons

The icons provided with the NWS forecasts are not designed for e-ink displays and look like crap. Instead, icons are mapped to equivalent ones from erikflowers/weather-icons.

Table of icon mapping

Docker
