About WU for WM
2016-06-25 Release Notes: Minor bug fix. Connection failures now update error counts correctly.
This app will allow you to automatically get extended data from the Weather Underground and make it available to any Watchmaker face. In addition to the data that is normally available through Watchmaker, this app gives you access to more current conditions and forecast details. It can also get you astronomy data (such as moonrise and moonset times) and tide data.
You must have the Watchmaker Premium app (available on Google Play) installed for this to work! Because of a difference in the interfaces it cannot currently communicate with the non-Premium version of Watchmaker, even if you have purchased the in-app upgrade.
You will need an API key from the Weather Underground. Just go to wunderground.com, click on "More", and select "Weather API for Developers". Fill out the form to request a key and select the minimum options to get a free one. It will just take a few minutes.
Please consider paying for a Weather Underground premium membership as a way of supporting the site. There is no obligation, but by using this app you are going to be using their services all the time. It only seems fair to give something back.
The Orbital Weather for Watchmaker face (available on Google Play) has built-in support for WU for WM.
For detailed information about what data this app provides and how to use it on your own watchfaces please go to apps.aslanrefuge.org/downloads and read the WU for WM: Instructions.

I am new to Android Wear and found Bob's wonderful Orbital Weather watch face. It needs this WU for WM app to exploit all of its crazy good features so I installed it. The app works just as it is intended to.. no bad surprises, only good results. The process of getting a Wunderground developer API key was more complicated than setting up his app. Now if only more Android Wear watch face designers would take advantage of this!
