Weatherunderground - currently - hourly - daily - configurable

[RedNax]

It’s a bit of a hack, but after getting the new version from github you can define

alerttruncatestring: "english:"

in your config. The alerttext will hen be truncated at the defined word/string

@pugsly you should not let users add stuff to the vendor folder! Plugin should be self containing :)

So I came home today and noticed that the weather had not refreshed in two days. When I did a pm2 mm restart it did refresh but now im wondering maybe its not refreshing on its own? is there a config setting for how often it does a refresh?

[RedNax]

@pugsly That’s strange! There is a setting, but it has a default 10 minute setting.
Did you look at the log for clues?

updateInterval: 10 * 60 * 1000, // every 10 minutes

How can I find the locid? I try a few options but everytime I get an error in my console:

http://***:8080/modules/MMM-Wunderground//MMM-Wunderground.js
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

Also with: pws: ‘pws:IUTRECHT148’, OR pws: ‘NY/New_York’ OR pws: ‘locid:NLXX8014;loctype:1’

Could you post the relevant config.js section? Could you also check on your pi if /modules/MMM-Wunderground/MMM-Wunderground.js actually exists?

File exists! Config output (actually uncomment):

	//{
	//	module: 'MMM-Wunderground',
	//	position: 'top_right',  // This can be any of the regions.
	//								// Best results in left or right regions.
	//	config: {
	//		// See 'Configuration options' for more information.
	//		apikey: 'c4fbdf2a7b44d2bd', // private; don't share!
	//		pws: 'NY/New_York',
	//		//lang: 'DE', 
	//		fctext: '1',
	//			fcdaycount: "5",
	//			fcdaystart: "0",
	//			hourly: '1',
	//			hourlyinterval: "3",
	//				hourlycount: "2",
	//				alerttime: 10000,
	//				alerttruncatestring: "english:" // truncate the alertstring ath this word//

	//	}
	//},

Any log available? At this point i have no clue why it would stall…

[pugsly]

Its been ok since I restarted so I am keeping an eye on it.

On another note, why do some configuration items use " ", some use ’ ’ and others don’t have any quotation marks at all?

I changed all of mine to ’ ’

Thanks @pugsly, I checked that again, only with the following config:

	{
		module: 'MMM-Wunderground',
		position: 'top_right',
		config: {
			apikey: 'XXXXXX',
			pws: 'locid:NLXX8014;loctype:1'
		}
	},	

Result is still a black screen. I can see that error on the console (on my computer):
Cannot GET /modules/MMM-Wunderground//MMM-Wunderground.js

But the file is in the folder. Weird!
