WXMON WXMON v2.2.0 [2026-Apr-17] - Localized Weather Monitoring, extended forecasts, including aviation METARs and TAFs! (US/Global!) Now in AMTM!

[Viktor Jaep]

Having a problem getting wxmon to work. Tried yesterday to install by pasting code you posted. Seemed to work but wxmon didn't appear in list of installed amrm options. Updated amtm today and it flashed on the screen that it was installing whatever was needed to run wxmon. Still not in list of amtm options however when I typed the command wx I get the message that need to setup options for wx and run command 'sh wxmon.sh -setup' however when I do this I get a response that setup not found. WXMON now does appear in list of amtm options. How do I remove wxmon so I can start the installation process over?

Weird stuff, @CaptainSTX!

Try running this to clean everything up:

rm -f -r /jffs/addons/wxmon.d
rm -f /jffs/scripts/wxmon.sh

Bingo! That did it. Working now. Thanks.

Dear @Viktor Jaep,

Any chances to change WXMON auto-geolocation to manual location setting (like for router LED's)? Because my ISP incorrectly declares IP address to physical address, and the actual address is across the country with quite different climatic conditions, so often nonsense prognosis is provided.
Cross-linked GitHub Issue

And 2nd question: are there any chances to drop solar irradiation profile like sunny/overcast/partially cloudy/cloudy/rain in configured file as contents from the current prognosis?

Thanks!

It should be using your public WAN IP to determine location. Strange that your ISP would be reporting location across the country. But yes, absolutely... adding manual location settings sounds like a great addition. I'll add this to my to-do list.

Dropping solar irradiation terms I don't think is possible. I can try playing with it to see, but it's mostly WYSIWYG. Besides, that information is quite useful for those looking for current conditions in their area.

Yes - it should be ... but it isn't. If I use dynamic IPv4/v6 - it works. If I use special business IPv4 static - ISP sets it to country capital coordinates where central post office is physically located, not your actual location . I see their logic - it is safer - as it goes through tunnel.

Therefore - any workaround in that direction would be of help. Thanks!

Thanks, I will follow-up.

New version of WXMON out today! Been a while, but I had some good reasons... Thanks to @kriukas for his suggestions!

What's new!?
v2.2.0 - (April 17, 2026)
- MINOR: Added the ability to use custom latitude and longitude coordinates for those who's IP address location lookup is not providing the most accurate location. This option is now available under the setup/configuration menu. Thanks to @kriukas for reporting and suggesting this!
- PATCH: Diving into why the new version of SCREEN (v5.0.1) didn't want to start from a script in the post-mount, found that some SCREEN environment variables weren't being set. Thanks to some input from @Martinski, these variables can be included in the script, instead of adding these to the top of the post-mount.
- PATCH: Added "unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH" statement due to the latest Entware binaries using the RUNPATH embedded library search path mechanism instead of the previous RPATH method. RUNPATH is searched *AFTER* the LD_LIBRARY_PATH definitions, whereas RPATH has higher priority than the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, so it's searched FIRST. Thanks to @Martinski for his advice.
- PATCH: Made WXMON compliant with the amtmupdate functionality to allow for autoupdates through AMTM.

Download link (or update using AMTM or within WXMON itself):

curl --retry 3 "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ViktorJp/WXMON/master/wxmon.sh" -o "/jffs/scripts/wxmon.sh" && chmod 755 "/jffs/scripts/wxmon.sh"

Significant Screenshots:

Ability to set your own manual longitude and latitude.

Enjoy!

Can I get a list of options/commands? Like in AMTM writing wx {x} to get a certain function.
