Setting location for the weather in calendar?

Hi,
Got a simple question.
In my calendar on the daily view there is a display that looks suspiciusly like the weather app. At the moment it shows London, I guess as a default. I have changed my weather app to show my locations and not London but this one is still there.
Any ideas where the location for this is set and how to change it?
Could this be the app that is accessing peoples data connection when everything else is switched off????
Cheers

the calendar weather is using the place which is set as your actual city in the CLOCK settings, not the city of the weather app.

Thank you Vogtlaender, Now, the million dollar question, is there any way to change it ???

sure, why not? tap on the main clock at homescreen and add the city you like and switch to it, now the calendarweather shows the new city.

yup, you have to make sure that the city you want displayed first is the "local" city in your clock, if not, just rearrange the cities.

many thanks!!! I had to do a hard reset last night and lost this function.Now if I could only get the weather to show back on the home screen under the appointments...Thanks again! Worked like a charm.

Beautiful Widgets [Question]

Is anyone else getting "Location is disabled by weather provider" message? Whenever I try and refresh my location it just says "New York" when in fact, I live in upstate NY. Anyone else?!
BTW I use Accuweather as my weather provider on Beautiful Widgets... and also, Google Now and everything else displays my correct location.

Click on the widget, go to settings, and look where it says "use alternate geocoder". Make sure it is checked. It might be in advanced settings.

Try Fancy Widgets, super customizable,, bunch of different weather providers, clock and weather themes can be changed seperately.

Geocoder is what weather service you pick to figure out your physical location, there all different, some don't show all small cities or towns, while others do. Fancy Widgets has the ability to use the weather channel for weather, and google for geocoder, or use weather channel as weather and weather channel for geocoder, and so forth. For me the weather channel geocoder finds smaller cities and towns that Accuweather does not.

To each his own, im not having any of the problems that your describing from beautiful widgets. Fancy widgets updates some cities that I never even knew existed.

Hi, I'm having the exact same problem with beautiful widgets since the last couple of days ("This location is "disable" for your weather provider."). This is definitely not related to geolcation because I'm not using location for my city.
The update works flawlessly if I select Weather Underground but I prefer Accuweather.
Any clues?

[Q] Changing location with tasker scene

I would like to change the widget locality for a module using a tasker scene. The idea is to click on a hotspot in the zooper widget which starts a tasker scene. From there, I pick a location. This sets a zooper variable in tasker to the new location. Up to here there's no problem. But I don't see how I can use the zooper variable to change the locality of the widget. Is there a way to do it?

No, Zooper currently doesn't support changing the location via external means

@VeryGenericUser are you trying to get a map of your current location? Directions from where you are to home or someplace else?

No. The idea was to change the location for the weather forecast. I wanted to have a Zooper weather widget for my current location by default, but still be able to manually change the location with two clicks right from my home screen, for example to set the locality to the place I'm about to travel to.

OK. Why don't you make your Tasker scene to change the parameters of an HTTP GET to something like Yahoo weather. In your scene change the city or zip code and be able to enable or disable the profile.
In Zooper hide the travel weather if you don't have it and show it if you do.
I haven't had the chance to play with scenes yet. Scraping an RSS feed for weather I know how. Have to do a bunch of variable splits.
If you want I can create the RSS scrape and then you can do what you need to do.
Let me know!

Thanks, that might be a way to do it, but it would be more elaborate. Maybe I'll get to it one day when I have more time.

Weather line graph? possible?

Hello, I wonder if there's possible to make a line graph with Zooper Widget Pro?
I trust the yr.no weather and would like this graph yr.no/sted/Sverige/Norrbotten/Lule%C3%A5/time_for_time.html
I know there's a widget itself for this but it simply just grabs the image itself and I can't customize it at all.
So I wonder if there's possible to somehow build weather graph in Zooper?

I don't know what you're thinking of making exactly, but this is a weather widget with graps I made a couple of months ago.
For me the only weather provider available in Zooper that works well with my widget is the default, Open Weather Map.
With Yr.no I mostly get strange readings and with Yahoo I get less weather data.
In the attachments you can see the data I get for your location with the three weather providers available in Zooper.

Woa that looks sweet!
I thought mostly about a line graph that shows the weather for the next 24 or 48 hours.
Not have to be line graph, those bars you've looks great, but it would be nice if it's possible to get out every hour of the weather change in a full day atleast.

Correct. Zooper doesn't pull the data for hourly forecasts. There is always Tasker as an option to get the data but I don't know if someone already tried to implement an "alternative" weather data provider that way.

I know I'm way late to this thread, but I'm just getting started with Zooper Pro. Right now, I'm only interested in making weather widgets. I'm hoping Mokum020 can answer a question for me about the wind rose. How exactly is that implemented? The widget in post #2 is simply stunning. If you didn't mind, could you post the .zw file you used so I could learn from it. Thanks in advance for any help.

Tasker can definitely pull it and parse it. Either from a weather data site or using the AutoApp plugin AutoWeather, which is still in alpha but seems to work pretty well.
So, lets say Tasker passes hourly data to Tasker to build a line graph of hourly weather. I think it can ABSOLUTELY be done, technically lol, but first you'd have to work with some rectangles scaled down to lines and a whooole bunch of math.
In Zooper every aspect of those 'lines' can be controlled via Advanced Parameters. So width, rotation angle, x/y etc. The issue is that you'd have to employ some fairly advanced mathematics to get the lines into a proper graph. Whether that math gets done in Zooper based on the Tasker data, OR, the math gets done in Tasker and just all piped over to Zooper, I believe it's doable but again the math would be time consuming aspect.
Not nuclear physics, but a lot of equations and trial and error. As working with Zooper variables and math is akin to cryptography sometimes, I'd be in favor of doing the math all in Tasker and then doing a data dump to Zooper just to spin and lengthen (or shorten) the lines to display/build the graph.

Thank you very much. I'm an old hand at Android, but very new to Zooper.

Accuweather

Is it possible to change the provider on the stock weather widget on the G4 from Accuweather to another one?
Accuweather gives a totally incorrect forecast 90% of the time in my case.
It's been saying all morning heavy cloud and to wrap up and its been sunny, blue skies and 22 deg for the last 2 hours.
Cheers

Have you tried changing the update interval in settings to 1 hour instead of the default 3?

Yes that was the 1st thing I did, I like the widget itself I just don't like AccuWeather as the provider but I can't see a setting how to swap it

How could this be possible, without having any option to select weather service providers? Stock weather app is very basic and is tied to Accuweather, as their services are default on all Samsung and LG devices, because it's official weather provider on these devices.

Whilst I am in agreement with OP, unfortunately Accuweather is the only service provider LG use as stock, it's all built into the smart notice etc. There's no way of changing it from the front end, and changing it back end in the code would be just messy. I tend to use Google Now for weather as it seems to be more accurate.

That's unfortunate. Thanks anyway. I'll just change to another weather/time widget that I can choose, and that is at least somewhat accurate.

There are some weather applications available on Google Play store, that allow you to switch between weather providers such Weather Timeline, and a few more. I've tested a few applications, and these weather providers are all you get to choose from: yahoo.com, yr.no, forecast.io, weather underground, openweathermap, world weather online. Most of these apps, gives you between two or three providers choice, but Weather Timline has max. no of providers. You can check them out.
