New page

The Weather Plugin acts as a data store, and event interceptor for all weather related events. This is different from the Climate Plugin, in that Climate Plugin handles all climate related issues with the house itself, whereas Weather Plugin merely reports weather changes, and allows the system to react to them.

== Uses ==

Currently, the Weather Plugin is used to create a weather information page, which can be displayed on all Orbiters. Later revisions of the Weather Plugin will also allow a user to respond to changes in weather, such as "Turn the Lights on when it rains."

== Programmer Information ==

The Weather Plugin listens to events from either a Weather Station device, or from an external script using MessageSend.

=== Weather Icons ===

Weather icons are referenced by number, and are used by the condicon_* variables mentioned below. These graphics are pre-rendered into the orbiter page, and are selected appropriately.
