  • integrating weather forecast on Mystic

    Hello, I am implementing an integration with wttr and Mystic but i have a problem with ANSI answer by wttr server.
    I open an issue here https://github.com/chubin/wttr.in/issues/842
    Maybe a curl decode problem?
    If i run curl command from cli the result look fine but if I save it it look very bad with strange symbols....
    Is there anything I can try in your opinion?

    Hey Nicola, to me it looks like an encoding issue. I think it's outputting unicode and Mystic and Pablodraw and things like that expect cp437.

    I don't have any proposed solution for you but maybe this can help get you on the right track.

    Yes, I investigated more, you're right, i soved with a linux command:
    iconv -f UTF-8 -t CP437//TRANSLIT -c incoming.ans -o outcoming.ans
