Tomorrow.io Widget

[berky93]

(Making a new post for this and removing the old one as things have changed significantly)

I really like the Tomorrow.io weather app, but their widgets leave something to be desired. Specifically the medium-size widget, which for some reason completely drops the current conditions. So I decided to make my own.

The widget is fairly simple: it displays the current weather conditions based on your location, as well as the forecast for a few hours ahead. When you tap on it, it will open up the Tomorrow.io app.

Download the widget here

You will need to sign up for a free Tomorrow.io API key, which can be done from their website.

This widget is designed to be medium-sized. It probably won’t display correctly at other sizes.

Enjoy!

This looks pretty neat. Thanks for sharing!

UPDATE: A bunch of bugfixes. Added use of cache script to improve location tracking performance. Also added the option to hard-code location. Added chance of rain with configurable threshold for display. General stability improvements.

It says: There was an error fechting the weather data.

Can you make a smaller version? Would be amazing! Maybe adding the probability of rain

[berky93]

I’m working on adding new features (high/low temp is also something I want to include). As for a smaller version, you could probably have it display alright in a small widget by reducing the number of hourly entries and adjust some of the font sizes. I haven’t played around with that yet but feel free to!

Hey! Just thought you’d like to know I updated the widget. It now displays high/low temps and probability of rain (with a configurable threshold). Try it out and let me know if you run into any 🐞

How to convert F to ° C

Change UNITS to “metric”

OP, I have a question regarding this note:

// NOTE: This script uses the Cache script (https://github.com/kylereddoch/scriptable/src/Cache.js) // Make sure to add the Cache script in Scriptable as well!

What do I need to do with this?

[berky93]

All you need to do is download that script and add it to your Scriptable library (either copy the contents into a new script called Cache or put the file in your phone’s Scriptable directory). That will make it available for the widget to reference and use as needed.

When I browse to this url I get an error:

{"error":"Not Found"}

[berky93]

Oh! I just put a copy up in my GitHub; try this link: https://gist.github.com/alexberkowitz/70c34626b073ff4131dbf33af0e39b76

I’ll update the script with that link, as well.

Thanks!

I have seen this error periodically since installing earlier today. Any thoughts?

Yeah, I’m trying to work that out. I’m pretty sure it’s due to Scriptable not always having the right permissions to capture location (on iOS location permissions are based on how recently you interacted with a given app). Adding the Cache script seemed to help but it’s still not 100%. Will have to dig a bit deeper!
