SMHI weather plugin
The SMHI plugin fetches weather forecasts from the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI). No credentials are required — SMHI provides an open data API.
What it provides
- Current conditions: temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, precipitation, weather symbol.
- Hourly forecast up to ~10 days out.
- A compact "next 24 hours" summary.
Setup
Editor level (no admin config needed):
- Create a data source of type SMHI.
- Enter a latitude and longitude (or pick a location from the suggester).
- Save.
The plugin fetches a fresh forecast every 10 minutes.
Typical use
- An object schema with fields
temp,wind,precip,symbol. - A "weather bug" template bound to these fields.
- A manual or scheduled Take to put it on air between segments.
Notes
- Coordinates must be inside Sweden or in SMHI's marine data coverage. Outside areas return no forecast.
- Weather symbols come as numeric codes; the template author is expected to map codes to icons.
