    Hi all! Loving my Magic Mirror. Quick one. Is there any way to use the current location for the weather forecast instead of typing in a specific location in the config? Or if current location isn’t possible, could it load the current location from a calendar?

    I move weekly on tour and would hate to have to edit the config every week.

    Thanks in advance!

      It might be possible to write a module helper that fetches your location from a calendar entry, but if that location doesn’t resolve in the weather database (because it doesn’t have a station reporting), you’ll end up with some weird stuff.

      A Life? Cool! Where can I download one of those from?

        Or try something with GPS , so it will always use your location. but then you have to (re)write some code i think.

          Adding a GPS will add more code, yes. And you’d also have to figure out how to tell it to get an area location, as opposed to a pin-point location (which a GPS is excellent at.)

            Amazing, Thanks for the responses guys. Is this something easily achievable? And if so, where should I start? I’m a noob to code.

              I can’t help you with that, i’m a noob in coding JS. but i think first of all is to look if there is an GPS module you can use for the raspberry

                @EoinOG I made something similar to what you want. It takes a GPS location from your phone and updates a webpage that the raspberry pulls in and give you weather in that location.

                  This is amazing. Thanks so much @mochman. Is there any more documentation anywhere to guide me through installing it?

                    @EoinOG I can make some up for you. How far have you gotten with the installation?

                      I’ve installed the module. But don’t know where to go from here with regards the configuration of it.
