MMM-WeatherGraph - new module using OpenWeatherMap

@nixdg @JoeFranz ‘Loading…’, is the default message put up while waiting for data…
in my opinon, modules SHOULD (but don’t) report errors to the user instead of leaving the Loading… message up

so, the data api calls have failed for some reason…

this module does all its work in the browser so, lets look in the developer window console for any clues

ctrl-shift-i,
select the console tab
and put some unique part of the module name in the filter field
weatherg

and report what you see

Nothing changed and now it works :-)
Maybe it took a while for the API key to work

Thanks

@JoeFranz there are call limits… 100 /day I think…

@FlatPepsi So I finally added an option I wanted, but never got around to doing. I originally wanted this module to let me know if I needed to get up early and shovel the driveway… which means I want daily precipitation totals handy.

Now it’s available as an option!

The latest code can be found on GitHub. Let me know if you find any bugs. Precipitation totals use inches or mm/cm, following the existing Imperial/Metric setting.

Enjoy!

@FlatPepsi very cool!

Pushed out a fix today…

Most weather sources give snow in the liquid equivalent, thus you need to multiply by 10 for snow.

Turns out OpenWeather does this math for us, and I was over estimating the snow by a factor of 10. Today I’m expecting 1.6" of snow & ice, module was saying 16" - prompting today’s fix!

Fixed.

Hi, great module. Is it possible to change the white between temperatures to f.e. “/” ?

also is it possible to add “C” to temperature ? so it will show °C

I’m getting an error, could not load datan TypeError: forecast is not iterable.
Do you know what might be wrong?
I checked and the API key is valid
