@MMRIZE How do I get it to work with open weather module?

[MMRIZE]

@EphraimB
There were so many modules using openweather API(So I don’t know which module is what you mentioned), but since MM changed its default weather module, the default weather module could also handle openweather API natively. So, just use the default weather module.
Or, request the developer of your open-weather-using-module to support CURRENTWEATHER_TYPE notification to be compatible with the default weather module.

@EphraimB - Sounds like a useful modification. I’m working on it now. It doesn’t seem terribly difficult to add.

Edit: Okay, done. It should accept notifications from the MMM-OpenWeatherForecast app. Update the module, change the source parameter to “MMM-OpenWeatherForecast” and it should pick up the notifications.

@bhepler Your update for OpenWeatherForecast works with me! Thanks for your effort!

@bhepler It works now. Thank you!

Update for 20 October 2024: Thanks to the hard work of Kevin Sivic, the MMM-WeatherBackground module can function again.

Unfortunately, the Unsplash service closed down their API to free use. You will have to log in to their website at www.unsplash.com and join their developer program. Once you have an Access Key, you can use that key to make the module function.
