Weather forecast tile

The next hours, the next days and nights, or the week, with warnings, from a weather connection.

In a dashboard file: "type": "forecast", with the options below. Every tile also has the fields under Every tile.

Example

A tile, as it goes in a screen’s tiles:

{
    "type": "forecast",
    "label": "Weather",
    "layout": { "x": 1, "y": 1, "width": 4, "height": 2 },
    "dataSource": {
        "connection": "demo",
        "params": { "device": "weather", "value": "forecast" }
    },
    "options": { "horizon": "medium", "slots": 6 }
}

It reads the demo home: in a dashboard with the connection "demo": { "driver": "demo", "config": {} }, it works as it is. To read a device of your own, its data source names one of your connections, with the params of that connection’s driver (Connections and data sources).
