I have a bash script for Canadian weather alerts that will interrupt mycroft and speak weather warning and display weather alerts on my version of Mycroft local/remote TFT display
it gets it’s info from environment Canada RSS feed
https://weather.gc.ca/warnings/index_e.html just edit the zone to match the RSS zone for your region
#!/bin/bash
ZONE="mb19_e.xml" # enviroment Canada rss zone
#ZONE="nt16_e.xml"
prev="$(cat prev)"
OUTPUT="$(curl -s https://weather.gc.ca/rss/battleboard/${ZONE} | sed -n 's:.*<title>\(.*\)</title>.*:\1:p' | sed '1d' | sed 's/in effect//gI' | cut -d',' -f1)"
echo "${OUTPUT}"
NO_WHITESPACE="$(echo -e "${OUTPUT}" | tr -d '[:space:]')"
if [ $NO_WHITESPACE == 'Noalerts' ]
then
if [ $prev == 'Noalerts' ]
then
echo " "
else
echo 'cmd_9(clear)' > /dev/ttyS2 #send command to serial to display on local TFT screen
mosquitto_pub -h 192.168.168.150 -t '/ai/clear' -m '1' #sends command to remote wifi connected TFT screen
fi
echo "${NO_WHITESPACE}" > prev
echo all is good
elif [ $NO_WHITESPACE == 'FrostWarning' ] #silent Alarm just display warning on TFT Screen
then
echo 'cmd_5(Frost Warning)' > /dev/ttyS2
mosquitto_pub -h 192.168.168.150 -t '/ai/clear' -m '1'
mosquitto_pub -h 192.168.168.150 -t '/ai/station' -m 'Frost Warning'
echo "frost warning"
else # full alarm speech and display
/home/ai/mycroft-core/bin/mycroft-say-to stop
mpv Alarm.wav
echo 'cmd_5(Weather Alert)' > /dev/ttyS2
mosquitto_pub -h 192.168.168.150 -t '/ai/station' -m 'Weather Alert'
echo 'cmd_6($OUTPUT)' > /dev/ttyS2
mosquitto_pub -h 192.168.168.150 -t '/ai/artist' -m "${OUTPUT}"
/home/ai/mycroft-core/bin/mycroft-speak weather alert ${OUTPUT}
echo ${OUTPUT}
echo "${NO_WHITESPACE}" > prev
fi
is just runs every 10 minutes to get alarm data
… but it should process any page or language for alarms from meteoalarm.eu
