You should do a no-wifi version of this, using the NOAA weather stations instead. That way, it wouldnt have to be connected to a network, and you coule take it to several places.
Is that radio based? If you're willing to accept the WiFi connection, you can use a geolocation service to get the coordinates of the ESP32, then feed the latitude and longitude into the /points endpoint. That'll return the correct API call to get a full forecast for that location.
I was just saying, it probably wouldn't work in a remote location. Not that you would use it in a remote location, but you would need a Wifi connection. If you made the radio based version, it could work within 40 miles within a station, and even in the little town I live in, I still get a perfectly good connection, even when I'm out in the middle of hiking or something while I'm fiddling with my FM radio. It wouldn't be necessary, but it would add to the whole "Steampunk" vibe you got going on. Even though it would technically be using modern technology, just like yours currently is, it would be amazing for it not to require a connection. The only hard thing would be that it would need to figure out how to convert the speech into usable weather data. Though, many weather stations somehow do exactly that, or maybe use a different thing than what I'm thinking of. Anyhow, still a cool project! Better than anything I could do :(
Beautiful work 👍♥️
Amazing craftsmanship, beautiful product.
