Seasons skin + MQTT

[Praveen Chandrasekaran]

Hi,

While I do like many aspects of the Belchertown skin (with its live data and the awesome graphs), I am still attached to the Seasons skin (No offence Pat!).

What I love about the Seasons skin is that everything is available on my screen on mobile (all graphs etc) without having to scroll as against the Belchertown skin

With WU becoming pretty much useless I miss the live data at times as I am still using Seasons skin. What would it take to get the data under Current Weather in Seasons skin from MQTT? I am not too familiar with HTML or JS. This is an idea that I had and thought of circulating it over here.

Pat, On a related note, what would it take to format the Belchertown skin similar to Seasons skin? :) I like everything about the Belchertown skin just that I prefer the display format of Seasons over it still. 

Regards,

Praveen

No offense taken, that's why there's many different skins available. 

I'm not sure what it would take to get MQTT into Seasons. I had never considered looking into it since it's not my skin. I can't imagine it's too terribly hard to setup but it would require development hours and maintenance time which I don't have currently. This could be a great project for anyone who wants to dive in for sure. Belchertown can offer an example of how to get MQTT working. 

To change the layout of Belchertown isn't in my roadmap of the skin. But the skin is using Bootstrap JS and CSS - which is really a series of elements in rows and columns. So in theory things could be removed/added/moved around relatively easily. Again - this could be a fun project for someone who wants to dive in.
