AKWeather features requests

[alexbk66]

i was wondering if you know of away to have an alert feature for severe weather like tornado, hurricane, freeze warning etc that could be used to trigger events? i use emails to trigger them now but that has not been accurate and it would be useful to change colors of RGB lighting i have to indicate warnings and when they are over

Thanks

Sure, alerts are on my to-do list, but available alerts really depend on the selected provider and location. Do you have a specific provider in mind?

I see you are in US, most Americans prefer NOAA which I'm implementing now. Unfortunately government services are real pain to use (like NOAA or BOM).

I dont have a specific one in mind but NOAA is always good option and i also have a free key for openweather, having the different alerts is something i look forward to finally having!

I'm finishing NOAA (hopefully today) and they do have alerts API. And I'll check openweather

Here is the link again for others to pick what they might need. This link is weird. Look for the statement with a light bulb and click on the link that says Severe weather terminology (United_States)

Not sure what is your request? First of all - which provider do you mean? Weatherbit? I do have all this already. Did you de-select "Minimal details level"?

Thanks, I did not see the minimal settings flag. that did what I needed to do, except that my location shows us as Green Acres US instead of the actual town, which should either be Ooltewah or Collegedale. to be fair, Collegedale showed up earlier this morning, but then it changed to Green Acres with the next update.
