A Weather Station Dashboard Without Weather Station Hardware - Using Node-RED and Open-Meteo

Image
  I've always liked having weather information available on my various Raspberry Pi and Node-RED dashboards. Temperature, humidity, wind, rainfall, barometric pressure and solar radiation. All the information you would expect from a reasonably sophisticated personal weather station. But I had a particular location I wanted to monitor where I didn't actually have a weather station. That got me thinking, could I build a Node-RED dashboard that provides much of the same information as a personal weather station, without buying hardware or subscribing to a commercial weather service? As it turns out, the answer is yes and the result is a new open-source project I've published on GitHub. GitHub Repository: https://github.com/n3bkv/open-meteo-node-red-dashboard The Idea My goal was fairly simple. I wanted something that looked and behaved like a traditional weather station dashboard, with current conditions, trends, historical information and some basic weather analytics. I also ...

  ShackClock 1.0 An All-in-One Ham Radio Shack Dashboard I've always liked the idea behind HamClock and the various commercial world-map displays aimed at ham radio operators. Put a big screen in the shack, leave it running and at a glance you can see propagation information, DX activity, satellites, weather, UTC and whatever else is useful that day. But I also wanted something I could customize. Every product I looked at had different features and displays but I wanted something that could do everything I wanted on one screen, so I wrote what I call ShackClock. ShackClock is a full screen amateur radio dashboard I built around Node-RED, Leaflet, Docker and a collection of public APIs. It will run on a Mac, Raspberry Pi or pretty much anything that can run Docker and a web browser. It is easy to setup and does not require a dedicated computer. One Screen Instead of Ten Browser Tabs At the center of ShackClock is a full-screen satellite map. The base map comes from Esri and then Sha...
