Post in this topic all your ideas about enhancements for future releases
For installation problems and “How-To” questions use the PWS_Dashboard April 2020 release Q&A topic.
A lot has changed in the April release compared to the last 2019 release. I will check the previous “wish-list” in the coming days and copy the “not yet implemented” ideas to this topic.
When posting your ideas please always mention
The URL to your current website
If you saw somewhere else anything you want, also the URL of that site
Does your weather-program measures that? I think at least a solar sensor is necessary also?
The only thing one can calculate themselves is the hours of daylight. Between sunrise / sunset. Basted on latitude / longitude.
That is already on the sun block/popup.
That can only be doen by a weather-program. As that is running 24 hours/day fulltime.
A website is only active when there is a visitor or when there is a cronjob.
So the website will lose any “in between” values.
In your case f.i. with “scattered clouds” one should measure every time a solar sensor sends its value.
That happens every so many seconds. A weather-program can then do the calculations.
No website provider would allow that frequent uploads + running the PHP-fileload-save scripts to do the calculation every upload.
If it were possible it would be nice to also have all the secondary parts of the site such as the information in the aurora borealis box, translated into Italian. If it were like the translation of Aeris weather conditions etc, it would take a moment to help translate.
I would like the Sorica page to be updated directly from the WL API
Aeris will be done shortly.
Aeris has a lot of combined texts, Coded Weather | AerisWeather API | AerisWeather
It just takes a few days to create the code that is correct. Then translation will be easy.
FYI I attache a part of the code, the english words will be mostly replaced with words already in the translation files.
Better not invest to much time to translate is now.
Sorica page is not translated by Google. What page do you refer to?

For the historical data page, I meant it would be nice if it took the data directly from WL.com. It happens that in the restart of the wifi logger or power failure, the template starts from -18 temperature values etc. I admit that I always have a history file already saved always
For the translation of parts of the template, it is never a problem. I cprretto a bit 'all the translation into Italian, in several places it was inconsistent; however I did everything in about 15 minutes
All is possible, yes you can change that, but no normal website-provider will allow these heavy scripts reloaded every 5 seconds. Your provider will simply block your website as has happened with others before.
For every block on the Dashboard there is a separate script. Every script also has to load the clientraw, convert the values to your units (f.i. wind from knots to km/h) , load the history to get high-lows, do some housekeeping and generate the html to sent it back to the dashboard block.
