Yep.  ittyWx uses an API key to scrape the NWS API servers (own the internet) — to pull current observations, forecasts & weather bulletins (with bells) for a given location or locations - during certain hours or continuously and also can control a relay - to turn on (/off) a TT for printing, etc.

Version 1 just pulled weather bulletins.  Version 2 did all of the above, but using older Python and API code.  The current version (3) is further refined.

The past few days I’ve been working on it and I think it’s almost to a point — especially with the Raspberry 5, that it’s nearly really for prime time… please stay tuned.

Attached are images of printout-examples one can receive by using ittyWx.
(just had a look at the images — just noticed a couple of things I still have to fix)
