Some more adjustments to the main home page. Had been using RRSdog.com to pull the Environment Canada Weather Alerts, but they had some outages today, so AI and I tackled how to run it on my web server. Also updated the code to now show the new Environment Canada Weather colour codes when weather alerts happen. This will make it more noticeable when an alert happens.
A hardware change, I’m testing a new sky cam option. Had found out that the low cost (under $50) Wyze V3 cameras support RTSP connections. This allows me to run a script to pull an image off the camera and then upload it to the website. Most Wyze cameras only work with Wyze’s app. Not sure if the camera will survive Alberta winters. Will see if this becomes permanent. The original skycam (a Logitech webcam from 2012 running on Windows XP embedded) will continue to run and provide the webpage background image and backup if the Wyze camera fails.
Think I’m done the homepage modernization project for now. Let me know if anything glitches for you.
Enjoy the updates and happy weather watching!
