Christchurch Weather Live is a web site that I maintain that shows the current weather conditions for Christchurch, New Zealand.

I have wrote an applet for the Squeezebox Controller to display some of this data within the controllers screens.

  • The applet is very specific to Christchurch, New Zealand but people may be interested in the source code.
  • The applet makes HTTP requests and renders Images and Text to the controller.
  • The applet is written in the LUA programming language.

My applets have a repository at http://squeezebox.crowe.co.nz/appletrepository.xml - see Installing an applet for details of how to install the applet.

Live Sample

For a live example of the data see my web site at http://weather.crowe.co.nz/Squeezebox/
