• License: GPL Version 3
• Target: Elementi 2015 (firmware 3.2 or above is required on the HMP)

Notes:

• Since March 15th, 2016 Yahoo is enforcing OAuth 1 authentication to access the weather data source. Because of that, it is no longer possible to use Yahoo Weather as data source and another provider must be selected.
• The weather icons are loaded from the SpinetiX server by default (there are no icons included in any of these archives). Alternatively, you can download the weather icon set, put the icons inside your project. To change the icon source path use /icons/[[icon]].png instead of [[icon_url]] when using the widgets.
