With our Weather in Digital Signage, you can easily display a forecast or today’s overview in your content. This page will give an overview of how the plugin works and how it can be used.
This plugin is our native weather plugin, but you can also use our MediaRSS and Website plugins for alternative plugins.
The weather API returns data for the next 24 hours in 1-hour intervals (10:00, 11:00, 12:00, etc..), and the plugin will display the weather of the current hour (at 14:25 the current hour is 14:00). As this is subject to change, the plugin will request the next 24-hour weather updates from API every 6 hours. At midnight the plugin will fetch the forecast for the next 4 days and update the day forecasts.
The player will store weather data in local memory for 6 hours upon the first successful load. If there is no Internet connection on the first load, the plugin will be hidden. If the Internet connection is not restored after 12 hours of the previous update, the plugin will not be shown.
We use weatherbit API for data.
Most people think designing content for digital signage is super difficult, but if you can use Powerpoint, you can also create and design your own content in our editor.
