node-nimbus-oww

One Wire Weather integration with the Quirky Nimbus using Node.js

Overview

node-nimbus-oww is a node.js module that provides integration between a One-Wire Weather station running Simon Melhuish's excellent One-wire weather software and the Quirky Nimbus. It allows you to display your weather information collected by your station on the dials of your Nimbus.

Installation

This assumes that you have node.js installed on your computer and that the OWW data is being collected to CSV files somewhere on your file system. To use the WinkApi you will need to have an account at quirky.com and request API tokens from them. There is not currently a process for this but you can request them by sending email to questions@quirky.com, more information can be found in this thread.

2. Install the dependency libraries
