  • and create netatmo application by choosing Create button.

• place .netatmo.credentials file to your home directory, please.

   cp .netatmo.credentials ~/
  

• now everything is ready to setup netatmo-wb-widget.py

• ussualy I'm placing widget sripts to the ./config/waybar/script directory but you could place it wherever you want but do not forget co correct the path to this script accordingly, in the waybar config file. For instance here below a part of my waybar config file:

    "custom/netatmo": {
        "format": "<span color=\"#E47E39\">󰋞</span> {} {icon}",
        "format-icons": ["","","","",""],
        "tooltip": true,
        "interval": 1800,
        "exec": "~/.config/waybar/scripts/netatmo-wb-widget.py Homeworld",
        "return-type": "json"
    },
  

  • please change passing argument <arg> to your weather station name in that string : "exec": "~/.config/waybar/scripts/netatmo-wb-widget.py <arg>",
  • you could change interval option as it suits. By default it set to 1800 sec or 30 min.
  • turn On or Off tooltip and so on.

• widget is returning back a JSON structure for waybar.

• you could also mention in waybar style.css file temperature syles(color) like it mentioned below, for instance (there are 3 type - hot, cold and normal classes, here described only two of them):

    #custom-netatmo {
        color: #EBCB8B;
    }
  
    #custom-netatmo.cold {
        color:deepskyblue;
    }
  
    #custom-netatmo.hot {
        color: #BF616A;
    }
