A clean, config-first weather dashboard for weewx.

The entire dashboard - pages, layout, tiles, charts, theme - is configured from skin.conf. No template or JavaScript edits are ever needed.

Both themes ship. The dashboard follows the visitor’s system preference, or you can pin one in skin.conf. The tiles above are rendered here from Nordlys’s own design tokens and its fixtures/today.json demo data - the real dashboard is live at weather.al199.no.

Configured, not coded

A page is a list of rows. A row is a list of tiles. A tile is a type plus a handful of options. That is the whole model, and it lives entirely in one file.

There are ten tile types and six chart types, so most changes are a line of config rather than a component. Sensors you do not have hide themselves. Bad config is skipped and logged rather than breaking the report.

Colours, spacing and type are design tokens, so re-theming means overriding a variable - not forking a stylesheet.

skin.conf

[[[[charts]]]]
    title = Last 24 hours
    columns = 2
    [[[[[temperature]]]]]
        type = chart
        chart = line
        span = 24h
        obs = outTemp, dewpoint, appTemp
        title = Temperature

That block is the chart above.

Install

Terminal

weectl report run

Download v0.4.2

Nordlys installs as a weewx extension. The report is written to HTML_ROOT/nordlys/ and regenerates on each archive interval.

pip install ephem is optional and unlocks the full Celestial page. Without it the celestial tiles still show sunrise, sunset, day length and moon phase.

Everything else is configuration: the configuration reference covers every option, and the theming guide covers the tokens.
