Custom Tiles: Refresh, Scaling, and Content Position

Unfortunately it’s not quite as simple as just adding a refresh in that case.

I took a quick look at the code generated by WeatherWidget.io and it looks like you could add something like the following to tell it to periodically refresh (or reinitialize) the weather data:

const REFRESH_MINUTES = 60 * 24; //every day (60 minutes * 24 hours = total minutes in a day)
const REFRESH_INTERVAL = REFRESH_MINUTES * 1000; //convert to milliseconds for scheduling
//schedule the period refresh / reinit
setInterval(function(){
  if(__weatherwidget_init != null) __weatherwidget_init()
}, REFRESH_INTERVAL)

This snippet is setting some variables to determine how often we refresh (every 24 hours in this example). Then scheduling up a function that calls the Weather Widget initialization method __weatherwidget_init() which gets added with your example widget.

So your final custom tile would look something like:

<style>
html, body { margin: 0 }
</style>
<a class="weatherwidget-io" href="https://forecast7.com/he/31d8934d81/rehovot/" data-label_1="רחובות" data-label_2="מזג האוויר" data-mode="Forecast" data-days="5" data-theme="pure" >רחובות מזג האוויר</a>

//INSERT THE SPECIAL REFRESH FUNCTION HERE
const REFRESH_MINUTES = 60 * 24; //every day (60 minutes * 24 hours = total minutes in a day)
const REFRESH_INTERVAL = REFRESH_MINUTES * 1000; //convert to milliseconds for scheduling
//schedule the period refresh / reinit
setInterval(function(){
  if(__weatherwidget_init != null) __weatherwidget_init()
}, REFRESH_INTERVAL)
</script>
