@iwaldrum great, thanks. I’ll try. Any idea, how to refresh on “basic” Jess OS? Via cron? How?

unfortunately, on https://www.wunderground.com/weather-radar is just for US and so on, but Europe is not here. Please, any idea, how to add this

or better this

thanks, Zdenek

@zdenek

This is the refresh script included with FullpageOS. Not sure if you need anything else to be able to run it.

#!/bin/bash
export DISPLAY=:0
WID=$(xdotool search --onlyvisible --class chromium|head -1)
xdotool windowactivate ${WID}
xdotool key ctrl+F5

xdotool key F11

@iwaldrum stupid question - what extension should have the file “refresh”?

[iwaldrum]

@zdenek The script included doesn’t have an extension. If that doesn’t work for you try adding the extension of .sh

@disakos I just posted a module for pulling an RTSP Stream from my Hikvision Cameras. Check it out here:

@iwaldrum so, I’ve installed xdotools, created script, but it doesn’t do anything… :-(

Dear @iwaldrum ,
this is such a cool set-up. Well done! :)

Since my original post, I’ve been tinkering a bit. I originally had the 2-way mirror on, but decided to remove it. Mainly because my wife said it looks like a medicine cabinet, which doesn’t belong in the kitchen. I took the mirror off and use it as a magic dashboard now. It has grown on her… :)

Here is my current setup at the moment.
