IoT-weather

Python script that uses Text-To-Speech to say the current weather in specified location. Edit settings.py for desired location (lat/long) and use your Dark Sky API key (easily create a free account https://darksky.net/dev/). Tested on Raspberry Pi 3 (Raspbian).

How It Works

1. Raw weather data is pulled from Dark Sky API via HTTP request
2. Friendly summary is formated from raw data
3. gTTS is used to generate .MP3 audio file from text
4. mpg123 plays generated file

Check output-example/ to hear how it sounds.
