Announcing availability of a virtual device for mControl that allows you to get weather data, and control macros based on this data.
The device is implemented as a mControl plugin, and is available here. I've also included source code as an example of how to create a device using the DDK.
The first implementation of the adapter gets data from the Weather Underground web site. This is a free website that allows users to post weather observations from their own weather stations.
This adapter could easily be extended to support other weather data providers. It could also easily be extended to support other data providers that make their data available by web service.
[this looks interesting: tv listings, anyone: http://xmltv.org/wiki]
