You can alter the call to the darksky API to achieve this. Look for the following around about line199 in weather.py:

self.weather = forecast(config.DS_API_KEY,
                                        config.LAT,
                                        config.LON,
                                        exclude='minutely')

This is the call and it can be adjusted as per the instructions here:

I prefer the "uk2" style which uses celcius for temps and miles for wind speeds etc, so I altered the API call to be the following and it works fine:

self.weather = forecast(config.DS_API_KEY,
                                        config.LAT,
                                        config.LON,
                                        exclude='minutely',
                                        units='uk2')

@genebean Thanks. Love the display! Got it on the wall at work.

Also curious about this. Had a look through and can't see how to change it.

Sorry I didn’t see this sooner. I’ll look at adding a confit flag for metric.

I am working on this but still have some bits to figure out. Here is the status https://github.com/genebean/PiWeatherRock/compare/metric

The main thing I need to figure out is how I want to determine when to show mph vs kph and the like

If you all have any additional requests for making this work better when using something other than us for units please let me know.
