effectDelay	The length, in milliseconds, to wait to restart the effect. Type: number Default value: 60000
fadeDuration	The length, in milliseconds, to fade out all effects. Type: number Default value: 3000

lightning2Count	Sets how many times the lightning2.png image will be displayed during the effect duration if current weather is thunderstorm. Type: number Default value: 3
locationID	Required (or use lat/lon) The locationID from OpenWeatherMap for your city to get current weather. Follow steps here to find city ID Type: integer Default value: 0
lat	Required with lon (or use locationID) This is the latitude of the location you want to get the weather for. Type: number Default value: 0.0
lon	Required with lat (or use locationID) This is the longitude of the location you want to get the weather for. Type: number Default value: 0.0
particleCount	The number of particles to show for each effect. Higher counts may cause performance issues. This can be overriden in each effect. Type: integer Default value: 100
realisticClouds	If true, shows more realistic cloud effect. Uses the cloud pictures with varying size and amount based on current weather cloud density. Type: boolean Default value: false
sequential	If set, will not display weather and a custom effect at the same time. It will run for effectDuration, wait for effectDelay, and then show the next. Repeats until either the weather changes and/or the effect date/holiday is no longer today. If not set, both weather and effect can be seen together. weather to see weather first effect to see effect first effect-one to see effect first but only 1 effect at a time, going in order of the array.

particleCount	The number of particles to show for the effect. Higher counts may cause performance issues. If this is not set, it will use the particleCount from the general configuration. Type: integer Default value: null
maxSpeed	The maximum speed, in seconds, for the effect's image to cross the screen. Closer to zero is faster. Each effect particle is randomized between maxSpeed and minSpeed. Type: number Default value: 100
minSpeed	The minimum speed, in seconds, for the effect's image to cross the screen. Closer to zero is faster. Each effect particle is randomized between maxSpeed and minSpeed. Type: number Default value: 50
recurrence	Display the effect repeatedly. Yearly - Not a recurrence option, just leave year unset or zero. Options:monthly,weekly,weekdays,weekends Type: string Default value: null
size	The size factor to display the image; larger the number the larger the picture. Type: number Default value: 1
