Version 4.0 of the WeatherFlow PiConsole is now available. This is a major new release, and changes include:
- New forecast panel showing daily and hourly forecast values
- Console now compatible with arbitary screen sizes
- One line installer now compatible with Ubuntu and Raspberry Pi OS on PCs
- New font to improve display
To update first stop the console with wfpiconsole stop . Then update using wfpiconsole update .
PLEASE NOTE: any local changes you may have made to the code will be overwritten by the update command. Please backup your changes before updating.
During the update process you will also be asked to enter your Personal Access Token again. This is the last time - sorry!
Update Notes
One-line installer: The PiConsole can now be installed on a PC running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS or Raspberry Pi OS using the simple one-line installer. It is currently not compatible with Ubuntu 20.04 without downgrading Python to version 3.7
Screen size/resolution: By default the PiConsole will run in full screen mode in Version 4. However, if you are running on a Raspberry Pi 4 or a PC with Raspberry Pi OS or Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, full screen mode can be disabled in Menu → Settings → Display. In this case the console will use the dimensions specified in the configuration file ( wfpiconsole.ini ), which can be changed manually. This behaviour is not available on the Raspberry Pi 3 due to hardware limitations. Please note that extreme changes to the aspect ratio will result in text fields running into one another, and the minimum window size is 800x480 (the same size as the Raspberry Pi touchscreen). Under Settings → Display there are also settings to show/hide the cursor and show/hide the window border.
As with any major release, there might be a few bugs 
lying around in the code. If you spot something, please let me know and I will try and get it fixed ASAP.
