MMM-OpenWeatherForecast - Replacement for MMM-DarkSkyForecast

sdetweil

@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

chris1971

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

chris1971

I tried several API tokens from Pirateweather without success… But the old DarkSky APi is working again - I assume it will work only until March31st… :disappointed_face:

sdetweil

@chris1971 you would have to change the dark sky module to use the pirate weather url too

chris1971

Do you have additional information what to change?
Thx

sdetweil

@chris1971 no, but the pirateweather.net site would probably tell you

After modification of the config and npm start I got a black screen and had to reset the system by disconnection from power supply. Any recommendations?

use my install script, it sets up everything…
