Weather source and update time

Check the location and source time

With a licensed weather service connected, this preview fetches conditions for Zagreb, Croatia when the site is built. It shows the source’s time. Until then, the layout is labelled as example weather.

Reloading this static page does not fetch a new forecast. A live screen widget needs its own refresh schedule and an offline state.

The screen-app weather widget is planned. Automatic refresh and offline handling have not been verified on Kinosign players.

  1. 1

    Choose the place

    Use the property or venue’s location. Do not ask guests to share their location just to show the weather outside.

  2. 2

    Show the source and time

    Keep attribution, units and the latest source time visible. Choose a refresh interval that fits the provider’s terms and your screen’s connection.

  3. 3

    Handle a missed update

    If a request fails, show the last update time or a clear unavailable message. Switch to a static welcome instead of implying stale conditions are current.

Questions about Kinosign

Does this page collect my location?

No. This preview uses a fixed location configured at build time. It does not request browser geolocation.

Can I choose another town?

A production widget should let the screen owner choose a location. This marketing preview has one configured location; the screen-app location picker is not connected here.

Will weather keep updating offline?

No. New weather data requires a connection. A last-known value must keep its timestamp visible, and the screen should have a clear fallback.
