Setting up the Local Weather on the Controller
From Home screen, if you have selected it to be
displayed. (*Future update will have it as an option
to add to the Home Dock).
Here you can view all the current weather
parameters for the area you selected, you can view
current temperature, humidity, pressure, visibility,
cloud cover, wind speed, wind gusts, wind direction,
sunrise & sunset times, and the time of weather
observation.
It’ll also display the current conditions out of 73
different possibilities.
The 5 check box options, Use Location to Simulate Clouds, etc., “Coming Soon in future update”.
At the bottom left corner you’ll see the geographic coordinates for actual weather conditions being displayed. To change the
selected location, press: Current Location, and you will see the screen below, where you can enter in a new location.
Here you can adjust the location for the current
weather conditions you want to display, you can
choose anywhere in the world, by simply entering
its geographic co-ordinates, (which you can get from
several sites; Google Maps, www.latlong.net,
www.findlatitudeandlongitude.com, to name a
few).
When you have the geographic coordinates for your
location press the “latitude” label, the current
latitude will disappear and you can enter in the new
latitude part of the coordinates.
After you enter in the latitude, press the “save”
button and do the same with the longitude. If you
make a mistake entering in the new location you can press clear and start over.
After you set the location you should also adjust the UTC Offset, left side of the screen, to match the location you selected.
You can find this info by typing in the location and UTC offset, into Google, and you’ll get the offset value you need. Doing
this will adjust the sunrise/sunset times to match that location. The data only gives the city and country name, province or
state aren’t shown.
You can adjust the sunrise/sunset times you actually want to use for your tank. For example, instead of sunrise at say 7:53am,
you may want it to be 11:53am. To do that, simply adjust the UTC Offset, in this case, -6 off the real offset.
Once you change the UTC Offset and go back to the previous screen you can verify the Sunrise and Sunset times match what
you want, adjust until you get it correct. *Note: the Forecast time will also change and will no longer show the correct time
the forecast was retrieved but has no effect other than visual.
Currently you can only access the detailed weather page by pressing the “Home Box2” on Home screen. An option for the
dock and for the Local Weather settings screen to from the main Settings screen coming soon.
