It would be nice if Stellarium could get a feed of atm pressure, temperature, humidity from easily available nowadays sensors
ant take that into account for displaying visible elevation of objects.

I've seen OpenCPN (marine nav software) with celestial navigation plugin and these are the parameters needed for input
to calculate location fix more accurately.

So if someone want to automate pointing their telescope those need to be considered as an input.

Thanks,

Such sensors are rarely seen around desktop PCs or laptops. But you can develop such a thing as external program (some python script run every 5 minutes as cronjob?) and send settings via RemoteControl API.

This is a good task for the community to participate in the contribution into Stellarium. Who wants to help us?
