weather.current widget

The weather.current widget is provided by the weather package in the led-ticker-plugins monorepo, referenced in config as type = "weather.current". It shows current conditions and temperature from WeatherAPI.com with a pixel-art condition icon.

Weather showing condition icon, label, and temperature in their real deployed colors.

Install the plugin and set your API key, then add a widget block to your config:

[[playlist.section]]
mode = "slideshow"

[[playlist.section.widget]]
type = "weather.current"
text = "NYC"
location = "New York"
units = "imperial"

To install the plugin on a Docker deploy, add its line to the plugin manifest and restart:

# First plugin? Create your manifest from the example:
cp -n config/requirements-plugins.example.txt config/requirements-plugins.txt
# Add the package (one name per line), then restart:
echo "led-ticker-weather" >> config/requirements-plugins.txt
docker compose restart

You also need WEATHERAPI_KEY in your .env — free key at weatherapi.com. Other install paths (web UI Store tab, dev checkout) are on the Plugins page.

Full documentation — all options, config examples, and a demo gif — lives in the weather package README.
