MMM-OpenWeatherForecast - Replacement for MMM-DarkSkyForecast

[chris1971]

I am using MMM-DarkSkyForecast - everything was fine, but today the module is not loading anymore. Are there any changes or known issues? Do I have to swith to another module?

Thx, Chris

@chris1971 DarkSky is dead. You’ll have to switch. Apple bought 'em up and is shutting down the APIs.

Thanks for the Info. Hope that the switch to Open Weather will be smooth. Long time ago that I have modified something on the mirror…

@karsten13
I tried a new API Token from pirateweather for OpenWeather - but the module is not loading. Do I have to do some other changes next to the API?
The token is valid until April 22nd. Do I have to renew the token every month?

@chris1971 pirate weather is the dark sky replacement.

openweather has a different API token

@sdetweil
pirateweather is another module next to openweather? Sorry for the dumb question…
Then I will try to go with Openweather acc. the description…

[sdetweil]

@chris1971 no. pirateweather.net provides an API that looks like the dark sky API.

so the dark sky module could be made to work again

@sdetweil this would be cool. Will try and give a feedback soon.
