<![CDATA[Get weather at a calendar event location]]>Hey guys,
just finished setting up my pi3 and am installing modules as we speak, but one I couldn’t find and thought might be a useful addition would be a module that can get a location from a calendar event, plug it into open weather, and retrieve anything important about the weather (eg if an umbrella is needed, or if there is high temperatures expected)

Considering where I live it can vary a lot between the suburbs and the CBD.

This is basically the same, but with weather.

The default calendar module broadcasts events via the MM notification framework. You just need to modify a module to receive and interpret the notification/events.

I question the overall utility, though. How often is the weather different from your house (or mirror) to the destination? I can see the utility if you travel a lot, or often visit neighboring towns, but imagine for most people seeing the weather forecast for their city should suffice.
