Weather

Weather shows current conditions and a short forecast for one place, using Open-Meteo. No account or API key is involved: the only thing to configure is where you are.

Set it up

1. Open Settings > Modules > Weather.
2. Turn on Weather.
3. Set a location: either Use this device's location, or type coordinates.
4. Optionally set a place label and pick units.

Field	What it does
Weather	Enables the forecast card and the header chip.
Location	Shows the place label and coordinates. Use this device's location asks the browser for a position and stores it rounded to four decimals. It needs HTTPS (or localhost) because browsers only share location in a secure context, and it requires permission.
Coordinates	Latitude (-90 to 90) and longitude (-180 to 180) in decimal degrees, committed when you leave the field or press Enter. An empty field clears that value.
Place label	Optional text up to 80 characters, shown with the forecast, for example "Home".
Units	Celsius or Fahrenheit.
UV index	Shows the current UV level under the temperature.

Leaving latitude or longitude empty means no location, and the API answers 503 with "Set a weather location in Settings."

Where it appears

• Right-column card on wide screens (width 1280 px and up), at the top of the column, above travel, tonight and now playing.
• Header chip on the calendar, when the right column is hidden and the chip fits. It shows the condition icon and temperature; tapping it opens a popover with exactly the same content as the card, so the two never disagree.

The card and the chip disappear while the module is off.

What the card shows

The hero has the condition icon, the current temperature, the condition label and today's high and low.

Under it, one line: if any of the next six hours has a 50% or higher chance of precipitation, it reads Rain ~14:00 · 60%; otherwise it shows the next sun event, Sunrise 06:42 or Sunset 20:15, taken from the first day/night flip in the hourly data. When the UV switch is on and the current UV is at least 1, a chip adds UV 4 · Moderate.

Daily rows

The default forecast view is five rows, the first labelled Today, each with the day name, condition icon, precipitation chance, low, a bar and high. All five bars share one scale across the week's minimum and maximum, so you can compare days at a glance.

Hourly strip

Tap the forecast to swap the rows for a horizontally scrolling strip of the next 24 hours: the current hour labelled Now, then condition icon, temperature and precipitation chance where it is above zero. Tap again to go back. The same swap is available from the keyboard through a hidden button, and the container animates to the height of the active view.

Caching and failures

• A successful forecast is cached on the server for 15 minutes, keyed by location, units and time zone. The browser also refetches every 15 minutes.
• Changing units or coordinates means a new upstream request; changing only the place label is applied to the cached forecast.
• If Open-Meteo fails and a cached forecast exists, it is served marked stale, and the card adds "Showing the last update — weather is offline."
• If Open-Meteo fails with no cache, the card reads "Unavailable". The API answers 503 when the module is off, when no location is set, or when upstream fails with nothing cached.

Limits

• Forecasts are five days and 24 hours. There is no radar, no severe-weather alerting and no historical data.
• Days are grouped in the household time zone (set in Settings), not the device's.
• Sunrise and sunset come from the hourly day/night flag, so they are accurate to the hour, not the minute.
• Conditions are Open-Meteo's WMO code, mapped to a label and an icon family; codes outside the mapping show as "Unknown".
• Device location is only as good as the browser's position fix. If the tablet moves rooms or the browser cannot get a fix, set coordinates by hand.
• The browser stores nothing of its own; every reading comes from the server. A server that cannot reach Open-Meteo and has no cached forecast shows "Unavailable" rather than old numbers.
