Temperature Alert Agent

Description

The Temperature Alert Agent is a Python script that uses the uAgents library to fetch real-time temperatures from a free weather API for a specified location. It allows users to set their preferred temperature range (minimum and maximum temperature) and sends an alert/notification when the current temperature in the chosen location goes below the minimum or above the maximum threshold.

Instructions to Run

To run the Temperature Alert Agent, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/temperature-alert-agent.git
   
   

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd HackAI_Hack-23067
   cd src
   cd uagents

3. Install the required dependencies using Poetry:

   poetry install

4. Set your OpenWeatherMap API key and preferred location in the hackathon.py script:

   api_key = "Your_OpenWeatherMap_API_Key"
   location = "Your_Location"  # e.g., "London, UK"
   min_temperature = 20  # Minimum preferred temperature in °C
   max_temperature = 30  # Maximum preferred temperature in °C

5. Run the Temperature Alert Agent:

   python hackathon.py

The agent will start fetching the current temperature for the specified location and send alerts if the temperature goes outside the preferred range.

Special Considerations

• Make sure you have a valid OpenWeatherMap API key. You can obtain one by signing up on the OpenWeatherMap website.
• The agent fetches temperature data every 30 minutes by default. You can adjust the update interval by changing the period parameter in the check_temperature method in the hackathon.py script.
• Ensure that your environment allows outbound internet connections for API requests.
