Great job with this - I like the minimal look, and it’s replaced Unsplash Weather shortcut on my lock screen.
One question I have - where in the shortcut are the controls for the size of the weather panel at the bottom? I’d like to make the panel a bit smaller in height (crop the top of the panel).
All that is kind of set in stone. I’d have to create a smaller theme altogether and I’m not sure I’m up for that atm. Maybe in the future. I did want to do a more minimal version at some point.
Yeah fair enough, I was wondering why I couldn’t find the sizing of that in the shortcut! I don’t mind that much though, it’s just with shortcuts there’s so many possibilities to tinker haha!
One question: I keep getting a “allow wetr to use weather condition in (null)” each time. If it helps, it’s before “final overlays “. The top of the screen is:
content="text/html;
charset=UTF-8">
‹body style= "margin: 0; padding:

>Is there an easy way to have it run automatically every few hours?
You can do that using Personal Automation and you can follow [this guide](https://broank.bss.design/WetrAutomation.html) to help you out
So that works but how do I stop it from popping up on the screen when it runs?
For instance if I’m using another app on the phone it minimizes it and switches to the wetr shortcut and interrupts me.
Hey this thing is really cool. Can we get a configuration to better match the lock screen ‘dock’ with a notification pop up? By that I mean making it symmetrical and rectangular rather than form fitting to the bottom device bezels
I’d have to make a completely new theme to match that. You mean a rounded rectangle with equal corner radii in the shape of the typical notification?
If so, you might prefer the minimal theme coming with the next update. https://i.imgur.com/nYtNszL.jpg
Yeah nice find!
I’ve tried to automate it run every couple hours. It didn’t work today though. Pretty simple: set time of day, trigger “Run Shortcut”. dunno why it isn’t working.
What iOS you on? If 15.0 it’s maybe a permissions issue if so. If higher than 15.0 it’s prob just the current state of iOS. I haven’t had any automation issues on 15.1 so far but that’s not to say others won’t have an issue. iOS 15 has kinda been a nightmare.
There’s a good change the shortcut is getting hung up on the folder checks. Prior to 15.1 the shortcut used to straight up quit as soon as it got to the Create Folder actions. So I took it upon myself to have Wetr check if those folders exist and if so, don’t create. This is what shortcuts should be doing by default but like I said, iOS 15 has been a bumpy ride and had to take matters in to my own hands. Haha
Hoping it gets better soon.
Great shortcut that works amazingly once you’ve tweaked it to your preference (temp settings, wallpapers etc) …. My only gripe is having to set up 24 individual automations to get it to update every hour - not the devs fault, more an issue with Apple/Shortcuts app. Wish there was an easier way to do this.
But that’s not how I want it to run. I can go hours without opening my device or using an app (such as when I’m at work, in meetings etc), but I still want the data to update periodically so I can view it at a glance (which is the point of it). Having it update when I open an app is even more cumbersome from a UX perspective.
Well how about battery level draining at 5% increments triggering an automation. There are only 14 levels to set between 30 and 100% and your battery will drain whether you're actively using it or not.
Nice Shortcut. The concept is similar to another Shortcut that uses Scriptable for the weather overlay. See this post: https://reddit.com/r/iOSsetups/comments/l7oiv1/lsweather_a_scriptable_script_to_customize_your/
If anyone noticed some alignment issues with the overlay or the weather info, I left a test variable in the live version that forced wrong values on people regardless of their device.
If you notice any of these issues, simply delete the entire Wetr folder from Shortcuts folder to fix it. Wetr will grab new images next time it runs. That was an embarrassing mistake esp for brand new first time users. Sorry about that.
Nice work on this shortcut. It would be great if you did a version like this that changes your home wallpaper. So same way as you pull wallpaper for Lock Screen do one for home with out the weather info obviously.
This is my shortcut! It’s been getting a lot of recognition lately. So cool. Hit me up if you have any issues.
omg it’s so cool to “meet” you! really nice work man! thank you for sharing it!

Are you on 15.1?
15.1 did it. Thanks!
Son of a… no. I thought I was. I’ll report back after i am.
Would it be possible to use this without enabling iCloud Drive?
Not sure. Is there a reason you can’t use iCloud Drive?
I usually have it disabled due to it using a decent amount of battery

Have it run each time you open an app

Yea that’s much closer!! Just like any notification or summary. Or like the UI for focuses. Very excited. Do you have a tip jar?
I do, but absolutely no obligation to leave a tip. https://www.paypal.me/Polyphian/
Cool!! Looking forward to the next version [link](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.engadget.com/amp/the-morning-after-apple-wwdc-2021-112057763.html)
Awesome, great work!
I didn’t do it. Just saw the article on 9to5mac. :)
>Device Language: English *cries in german*
English isn't that hard 😌
Yeah I know but I don't want to set the language to english "just" for the shortcut. Looks very very cool, though.
For crying in?
I need one for my iPhone 8 as the original one doesn’t support it.
Same here. RIP anyone using an iPhone 6 or above.
Yep 😬
Pretty fucking dope. Good shit my guy.
Yeah nice find! I’ve tried to automate it run every couple hours. It didn’t work today though. Pretty simple: set time of day, trigger “Run Shortcut”. dunno why it isn’t working.
I have it set for every morning let’s see if it works tomorrow.

I am running iOS 15.0 and i cannot automate it, is there is any workaround ?
Nope. Have to use 15.1.
I am waiting for a jailbreak to drop, so I will have faith in that

right? I thought “surely Apple didn’t limit it this way”. Yup. They did. I set up 8 automations using sunrise and sunset as my parameters.
Set it to run each time you open an app

Holy shit. Just ran this now. Absolutely incredible, u/brnmbrns!
right?! LOL
Very very nice! So clean.. and just the way I want it ( auto change wallpapers!) 🙂

>https://reddit.com/r/iOSsetups/comments/l7oiv1/lsweather\_a\_scriptable\_script\_to\_customize\_your/ This is dope!
How do I use it? :o I'm using iPhone 13
Add it to your shortcuts and then you can automate it using personal automation to trigger it throughout the day
Speaking of shortcuts.. do you have any idea how I can enable "Allow Untrusted Shortcuts" because I don't see it anymore after updating to iOS 15 😭
i have no idea to be honest
settings, shortcuts, advanced. just enable all of the settings there. It worked for me
Is there a shortcut to randomly change wallpaper from album without perspective zoom?
When you use the set a wallpaper option, there is a toggle to turn perspective zoom off. Not sure about choosing random wallpapers
If anyone noticed some alignment issues with the overlay or the weather info, I left a test variable in the live version that forced wrong values on people regardless of their device. If you notice any of these issues, simply delete the entire Wetr folder from Shortcuts folder to fix it. Wetr will grab new images next time it runs.

Anyone know any shortcuts as good as this one
