What-to-wear weather clock

Plan your day with confidence using this fancy weather forecasting clock that tells you what kind of clothes you need to wear to be comfortable outside. The clock is powered by the Particle Photon IoT development board that retrieves the current weather information from forecast.io. Based on the weather forecast, the Particle board drives a servo motor to move a clock hand to point to the correct type of clothes needed.
Weather forecasting clock
I split the software into 2 parts: the Photon firmware to move the pointer and a hook.io script to figure out which clothes to wear from the forecast.io weather forecast. The Particle cloud acts as a bridge between the Photon and the hook.io script. The main reason for splitting is that it will be easier to continue tweaking the clothes decision code without draining the batteries in the frame by continuously reprogramming the Particle Photon.
