LXMF Meteo Bot v1.0 by F. from Reticulum Italia

DESCRIPTION:

LXMF Meteo Bot based on the original LXMF Receiver script from markqvist. Weather Data from: Open-Meteo Api
Double script version: meteobot.py (Manual terminal version with user input setup) and meteobot_service.py (to run in systemd passing arguments to the script).

BASIC INFORMATION:

You can run the script in manual mode, launching "python meteobot.py" command, and following the on-screen easy setup requests, or as a system service, using arguments, to avoid user intervention that will cause errors in the systemd.

To run as systemd service use in the service file: "python meteobot_service.py --display_name Bot Name --announce_time 300 --stamp_cost 0" (edit values as you want) if no argument are passed to the script, it uses default display name: "Meteo Bot - MSG ME!" default announce time of 300 secs , default disabled stamp cost (zero)

Launched from terminal, it will display the LXMF address of the bot, and will show received incoming messages with all relative details.

Note: This bot creates a temporary identity, everytime you close it you will loose the current identity. New launch, new identity. Will be Fixed in future versions.
