Rain-check

This IoT project aims to provide an automated way of answering the question "Do i Need to bring an umbrella to work today?".

No more need to check the weather forecast on your computer or phone!

Platform

NodeMCU

Setting up the project

1. Download the code
2. Modify settings.h (pretty self explanatory - see instructions below)
3. Open raincheck.ino in the Arduino IDE and hit Upload
4. The unit will now run the program directly upon boot every time it is powered on

Settings

The NodeMCU will connect to your wifi using the SSID and password specified in settings.h.

Settings in this file are also used to specify the coordinate to lookup weather for, as well as how many hours of the forecast will be considered.

Privacy note

In order to avoid accidentally commiting your wifi credentials and location after updating settings.h, you can run the following command:

git update-index --assume-unchanged settings.h
