I’m running dashticz on an intel nuc and I use a power measurement adapter.

Since the moment I use the new weather block my powerusage is slowly growing throughout the day.
When not using the weather block my usage is 11 watt.
The moment I add the weather block my usage goes to 16 watt and slowly going after 12 hours reaching 20 watt and stays steady.
If I refresh the dashticz it goed back to 16 watt and after 12 hours again steady at 20 watt.

When I remove the weather block again it is direct steady at 11 watt again.

Is it normal that this happens?
If I use static icons the usage is still 12 watt, so the problem is the dynamic animations. That is using almost 8 watt…
Is that normal @lokloni?
I noticed as well that the animated weather icons are pretty CPU intensive. The increase from 16W to 20W is a bit strange however. I'll try to find out what is causing that.
In the mean time I'll check whether there are less CPU demanding animated weather icons.

That would be nice, is there no option to set colors on the static icons for the weather?

You can find the styling options for the weather block here: https://github.com/Dashticz/dashticz/b ... st#styling
If you mean the the color option: Object to color the animated weather icons.
So will not work for static icons.

Did you had time to look into the animated weather icons?

Hi Lokonli,

Since I Have installed my own Weather Station and receive all data directly form it in Domoticz by the wudirect plugin. How do I put this data in the Dashticz weather block? Is this possible?
