WiFi LED Weather Display

Turn DataPix into a live weather display — current temperature and conditions for any city, updating on its own over Wi-Fi. No app, no cloud account, no code.

What you need

Step by step

  1. Open the interface

    From a browser on the same network, open the device's IP address shown on the panel.

  3. Paste your OpenWeatherMap key

    The preset asks for your free API key once, then searches for cities.

  4. Search a city

    Type the city you want conditions for and pick the matching result.

  5. Customize and save

    The preset drops in temperature and conditions as separate, movable elements — reposition and recolour anything, then Save. Want time and date on the same tile too? Use the Clock + Weather preset instead.

This is one preset, not the whole picture — it becomes an ordinary, fully editable view the moment it's added. See Views for every built-in preset, including Temperature & Humidity for an on-board DHT22 sensor reading with no network needed, or Features to point DataPix at any other JSON API.
