This is a little companion project to my main Australian weather addon - OzWeather:

If you're interested in Australian weather, and Kodi, and have some old hardware (e.g. a tablet, phone etc) - lying around, then you might enjoy this.
In a nutshell, you can set up a neat little '2nd Display' for Kodi - i.e. a mini screen that lives under your telly, and gives time, weather, and Kodi 'Now Playing' information.
(If you just want a nice clock w. weather, it doesn't even need Kodi, technically).
The full details are available here:
https://github.com/bossanova808/kodi.ozw...2nd.screen
You can see the small screen in context here:
Remember - this is a '10 foot interface' so you can read it from your couch comfortable.
Here's a screenshot when Kodi isn't playing, showing the weather forecast, current conditions (temp and 'feels like'), and time (although I took this a while back before I added all the animated weather icons, so this should be showing a rain icon!)
And one when it is showing the artwork, time remaining, and current temp (& feels like):
The github link has all the instructions for setting it up.
Just a fun little extra to make some old hardware I had lying around have a second life, that hopefully someone else finds useful!
