A weather station for your Kindle
Well, as the Kindle e-Readers don't support native apps or things like that, the only thing we can do is to open a web with the Experimental Browser and do the best we can with it. So the project is just a web page that you have to edit with your own values, publish it somewhere and access it with the Kindle's browser.
Here's a list with the steps to achieve it:
- Sign up to OpenWeather and get your own API token
- Pass the timezone where you live to
int
, knowing thatUTC+1
will be just1
,UTC-7
will be-7
and so on - Replace the four
{values}
by your own ones in this URL:https://rocboronat.github.io/kindle-weather-station/index.html?lat={lat}&lon={lon}&token={token}&timezone={timezone}
- Type in
~ds
in your Kindle's main screen search box to disable the screensaver - Open the Kindle's Experimental Browser and access the URL you just edited
- Enjoy!
- Extra, extra! Take a picture and send it to @rocboronat! 😍
