Description
It would be really handy if the software had the ability to call out to a HTTP API, or shell out to a command to return JSON data to parse into a structure that could then be incorporated into what's displayed
API-Get:
HTTP: http://www...
NAME: weatherData
FREQUENCY: 1800
API-Get:
SHELL: /usr/local/reportPerCPULoad.sh
NAME:CPULoad
FREQUENCY: 10
API-Show:
NAME: CPULoad
FIELD: cpuLoad[0]
PERCENTAGE:
TEXT:
SHOW: True
X: 250
Y: 13
... as with normal display elements.
