Infinitime features a weather subsystem which stores weather data on the watch in a timeline which can be queried by apps or watchfaces. It can store many different types of data (see here) and each entry includes a timestamp and an expiry time. When entries expire they are removed from the timeline automatically.
Sending weather data to the watch
Weather data must be sent to the watch via a companion app, currently Gadgetbridge and ITD have this functionality implemented. ITD is the easiest option as the feature simply needs enabling in the config file with a location specified. It uses MET.no data and provides one hour of data at a time. Gadgetbridge is slightly more difficult to set up as it requires a separate app to fetch the weather data. Details are available on the Gadgetbridge wiki. There is currently (May 2023) a bug in the Pinetime implementation within Gadgetbridge which sets the expiry time to 5 minutes instead of the desired 6 hours, it should be resolved in the next available Gadgetbridge release.
Displaying weather data
Currently there are 2 ways to display weather data on the watch, a debug app which is disabled by default, and the PineTimeStyle watchface.
TODO: Add details for enabling debug app
PineTimeStyle can display basic weather data in the sidebar when the option is enabled, see details here PineTimeStyle
