Based on popular demand a NEW version of the ‘Weather Station Data Viewer’
is being released. You can find it the same way; the ‘poster’ will say: "Weather Station Data v2".
The new version:
Displays wind-speed as km/h and not m/s
Includes the option to display wind-direction in degrees or Cardinal description
All, I apologize for the v2.
I am not an experienced “ROKU Developer” and made a rookie mistake by not saving the required “keys” (so that’s what they were for . . . ?).
If I were to replace the current ROKU “package” everyone using the application would need to re-enter the station names and preferences. Because I did not make note of the “keys”, the new package would have no access to the ROKU registry. Not ROKU’s fault, my fault.
GOOD NEWS, I have documented the “keys” so further improvements will be automatically added to the channel !!
Please send more feedback as I will include it in future releases which will upgrade automatically! I saved the keys this time
On your ROKU device: Home>Streaming Channels>Search Channels>“weatherflow data viewer V2”
ROKU has changed their development schema around, for the better actually.
The way I had my channel published before was as “permanent beta software”. By doing that there was no scrutiny by ROKU, well they closed that loophole.
When they closed the loophole they removed all “beta channels”.
Recently I actually went through the process of getting my channel certified by ROKU, so it’s a REAL CHANNEL and in their library !!
You can find the channel:

Hi, No such luck finding it. Maybe it hasn’t been published yet in southern British Columbia, Canada?
Keep me posted of anything you find out. I’ll keep looking in the meantime.
Thanks, Hal
Hello, I have downloaded the channel and works well.
May I ask for a couple of changes for those of us who work (reluctantly - I come from an older generation) with the metric system. Average wind and wind gust is commonly expressed in kilometers per hour. An option to change wind direction to user’s choice - ie. cardinal.
Many thanks Steve. You’ve done a great job!

I’m glad republishing it to other countries made it available and you were able to download it !!
Great suggestions which I can add sometime very soon. Once I make the changes I’ll post on here to let you know and because you have the channel installed you’ll automatically get the update.
Thanks for implementing the changes. Works fine and I have taken down the weather site as we be leaving for our trip across Canada at the end of April. I will let you know when we arrive and have a site set up in Nova Scotia on the East Coast. Cheers…
