[usb](https://github.com/kb100/i3blocks-usb) 2.

Do i3pystatus or i3blocks provide means for monitoring those things?Fri, 07 Aug 2015 16:28:45 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/6230/how-to-add-weather-and-network-monitor-applet-to-i3bar/?comment=6405#comment-6405https://faq.i3wm.org/question/6230/how-to-add-weather-and-network-monitor-applet-to-i3bar/?answer=6233#post-id-6233I've been using conky for these two things. See [here](http://i3wm.org/docs/user-contributed/conky-i3bar.html) for more details on how to employ conky. Conky networking objects you were asking for (replace `eth0` with your networking interface name): - Upload speed: `${upspeed eth0}` - Download speed: `${downspeed eth0}` Weather is more complicated. I don't know how to make it work outside of the US, but for the US you can use the following objects (`KSFO` corresponds to San Francisco, `KNYC` to New York City): - Temperature: `${weather http://weather.noaa.gov/pub/data/observations/metar/stations/ KSFO temperature}` - Clouds: `"${weather http://weather.noaa.gov/pub/data/observations/metar/stations/ KSFO cloud_cover}` - Description: `${weather http://weather.noaa.gov/pub/data/observations/metar/stations/ KSFO weather}` Thu, 02 Jul 2015 05:20:53 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/6230/how-to-add-weather-and-network-monitor-applet-to-i3bar/?answer=6233#post-id-6233https://faq.i3wm.org/question/6230/how-to-add-weather-and-network-monitor-applet-to-i3bar/?comment=6251#comment-6251@i3convert I get error before adding your objects.

Do you get this message before adding the objects I listed above? Did you follow the conky/i3 tutorial? Do their examples give you the same error? Maybe run only conky and see if its text output makes sense.Fri, 03 Jul 2015 16:37:37 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/6230/how-to-add-weather-and-network-monitor-applet-to-i3bar/?comment=6250#comment-6250https://faq.i3wm.org/question/6230/how-to-add-weather-and-network-monitor-applet-to-i3bar/?comment=6246#comment-6246Error: status_command not found or is missing a library dependency (exit 127)...
