Kindle weather station

A weather station for your Kindle

How to install it?

Well, as the Kindle e-Readers don't support native apps or things like that, the only thing we can do is to open a web with the Experimental Browser and do the best we can with it. So the project is just a web page that you have to edit with your own values, publish it somewhere and access it with the Kindle's browser.

Here's a list with the steps to achieve it:

  1. Sign up to OpenWeather and get your own API token
  2. Pass the timezone where you live to int, knowing that UTC+1 will be just 1, UTC-7 will be -7 and so on
  3. Replace the four {values} by your own ones in this URL: https://rocboronat.github.io/kindle-weather-station/index.html?lat={lat}&lon={lon}&token={token}&timezone={timezone}
  4. Type in ~ds in your Kindle's main screen search box to disable the screensaver
  5. Open the Kindle's Experimental Browser and access the URL you just edited
  6. Enjoy!
  7. Extra, extra! Take a picture and send it to @rocboronat! 😍
