statsbadge-clock

A clock and the weather, for statsbadge.

Six faces. A Swiss railway station clock with a smoothly sweeping second hand, Koppel's dotted minute track, the Amsterdam platform clock with a stop-to-go second hand, and a squircle which always uses the badge's theme. Then two digital faces, one set in the app's typeface and one in seven-segment digits over their unlit segments.

Weather comes from Open-Meteo: the condition with a symbol for the sky, temperature, what it feels like, humidity and the wind. No key and no account.

Install

statsbadge ext add clock
statsbadge install

Then add a Clock page in the config UI.

Settings

Set a Place under Extensions - a town or city, and a country after a comma if the name is a common one:

Sheffield          the one most people mean, by how well known it is
Sheffield, US      Alabama
Paris, US          Texas

Which one you got comes back as weather.place, so the Live panel shows it. Latitude and longitude reach a spot no name lands on, and win wherever both are set. Temperature reads in celsius or fahrenheit, wind in km/h, mph, m/s or knots.

Every clock page then has settings of its own, so two pages can show two cities. A place settles the time as well as the weather, since Open-Meteo returns a location's UTC offset with its forecast: point a page at Tokyo and it shows Tokyo's time, with no timezone to set anywhere. Each page picks a face:

Quick add offers Digital Clock and Station Clock, which add a page with the face already picked. The other four faces are a dropdown away once a page is there.

Theme colours draws a stylised face in the page theme instead of its livery: the railway clock in Mondaine red, the Amsterdam navy and the Koppel black all give way to the theme's panel, ink, dim and accent. Squircle and the two digital faces are themed either way, so the setting doesn't affect them.

Without a location the clock still keeps time, and the weather readouts read "no location set".

The same settings work from the command line, for a host with no browser near it. Anything stored by the UI wins over the flag.

statsbadge serve --extension clock.place=Sheffield
statsbadge serve --extension clock.latitude=53.38 --extension clock.longitude=-1.47

Notes

The hands run off the badge's clock, set once from the host, so they keep time when the host goes away and the second hand sweeps whether or not a reading has landed. A place name is looked up once ever, not once a launch.

The seven segments are DSEG by keshikan, under the SIL Open Font License, whose text travels with the package.
