Weather on I3 bar

braciszekodd · May 15, 2020, 3:22am

Hi Team,

Where to edit weather on I3 bar? I didn’t see anything in ~/.config/i3 file
Or i miss something?

The output of the bar is configured in /etc/i3status.conf. Usually you would copy that to ~/i3status.conf I believe. For real information check here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/I3

i3status is not used by default on EndeavourOS-i3-setup…
We do use i3-blocks:

weather (openweather you need to get city code and apikey first [adding it to ~/.config/i3/scripts/openweather.sh]) get your api key here: https://openweathermap.org/appid and City code: https://openweathermap.org/find?q= (search your city and take the city code from the url in your browser [7 numbers at the end of the url])

github.com

endeavouros-team/i3-EndeavourOS/blob/master/.config/i3/scripts/openweather.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

command -v jq >/dev/null 2>&1 || { echo >&2 "Program 'jq' required but it is not installed.  
Aborting."; exit 1; }
command -v wget >/dev/null 2>&1 || { echo >&2 "Program 'wget' required but is not installed.  
Aborting."; exit 1; }

APIKEY="get your key first"
#ZIPCODE="1234"
CITY_ID="Get your City ID first"
URL="http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?id=${CITY_ID}&units=metric&APPID=${APIKEY}"

WEATHER_RESPONSE=$(wget -qO- "${URL}")

WEATHER_CONDITION=$(echo $WEATHER_RESPONSE | jq '.weather[0].main' | sed 's/"//g')
WEATHER_TEMP=$(echo $WEATHER_RESPONSE | jq '.main.temp')
WIND_DIR=$( echo "$WEATHER_RESPONSE" | jq '.wind.deg')
WIND_SPEED=$( echo "$WEATHER_RESPONSE" | jq '.wind.speed')

WIND_SPEED=$(awk "BEGIN {print 60*60*$WIND_SPEED/1000}")

or use the second weather script included:

github.com

endeavouros-team/i3-EndeavourOS/blob/master/.config/i3/scripts/weather2.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

################################
# Shows info about the weather (in Cincinnati) from accuweather.com

weather="$(echo "$SITE" | awk -F\' '/acm_RecentLocationsCarousel\.push/{print $14 }'| head -1)"
temp="$(echo "$SITE" | awk -F\' '/acm_RecentLocationsCarousel\.push/{print $12"°" }'| head -1)"


if [[ $weather == *thunder* || $weather == *Thunder* ]]; then

this will need to change the executable on blocks:
