Yweather settings

Has anyone started working on a modern YWeather replacement for Pebble Time 2?

YWeather still installs and the layout is nearly perfect: large digital time, date, battery, weather icon, temperature, and location without graphs or dashboard clutter. But the settings page is dead, it appears stuck on Mountain View/Celsius, and the old weather backend is probably broken.

I’d love to see either a maintained fork or a clone using Open-Meteo/OpenWeatherMap with:

- Pebble Time 2 support

- Fahrenheit/Celsius setting

- GPS/manual location

- working config page

- simple YWeather-style layout

Since YWeather is one of the most favorited faces in the store, I suspect a lot of returning Pebble users would want this too.

FWIW the actual API calls are re-routed to OpenMeteo if you’re using the Core Devices Pebble app. So it’s really just the settings page that would need to be fixed. I’ve updated the settings page URL to the proper one (the developer changed their username on GitHub). Does this PBW work? Download yweather.pbw | LimeWire

Thanks for the fix. Before I install the PBW, would you be able to share the source change or a GitHub fork/diff? I’m cautious about sideloading PBWs from external file hosts, especially if the only change is the settings page URL.

You can unzip it yourself and diff the file then :person_shrugging: It was a small enough change I don’t have it in source control. I also don’t remember what I changed. I think it was a URL to somewhere
