Release [RELEASE] OzWeather '2nd Display'
#1
This is a little companion project to my main Australian weather addon - OzWeather:
OzWeather Wiki - https://kodi.wiki/index.php?title=Add-on:Oz_Weather

If you're interested in Australian weather, and Kodi, and have some old hardware (e.g. a tablet, phone etc) - lying around, then you might enjoy this.

In a nutshell, you can set up a neat little '2nd Display' for Kodi - i.e. a mini screen that lives under your telly, and gives time, weather, and Kodi 'Now Playing' information. 
(If you just want a nice clock w. weather, it doesn't even need Kodi, technically).

The full details are available here:

You can see the small screen in context here:

Remember - this is a '10 foot interface' so you can read it from your couch comfortable.

Here's a screenshot when Kodi isn't playing, showing the weather forecast, current conditions (temp and 'feels like'), and time (although I took this a while back before I added all the animated weather icons, so this should be showing a rain icon!)

And one when it is showing the artwork, time remaining, and current temp (& feels like):

The github link has all the instructions for setting it up. 

Just a fun little extra to make some old hardware I had lying around have a second life, that hopefully someone else finds useful!
