MMM-RAIN-MAP (new: version 2.x)

@whimsicality he’s telling the api the size and shape of the map to draw… because thats what they do…

I do the same thing with chartjs… I tell it the size and shape and all the points in the data, and what kind of chart to draw, and it generates the graphics.

@sdetweil I think I was making it unnecessarily complicated, I understand it now. thanks!

hi! love this app but am struggling. I’ve tried the CSS mentioned here to change the opacity as well as just changing it under “config” but I can’t get teh opacity of the map to change. is there any other option to attempt?

Hi am definitely loving this module but honestly struggling to get the rain map to go away when rain is not predicted. I see the instructions for how to make it work with the weather module, but what piece of code do I need to have present in MMM-OpenWeatherForecast in order to trigger MMM-RAIN-MAP to hide itself? Sorry if it’s obvious…

@whimsicality you don’t need additional code in your weather module.
It is only important to have one of the supported (weather, MMM-OpenWeatherForecast) running together with MMM-RAIN-MAP on your mirror.
If you use OpenWeatherForecast, all you need to do is to set the displayHoursBeforeRain option in your MMM-RAIN-MAP settings.

For example, if you want to let the rain map appear one hour before rain starts, your rain map config should look like that:

{
	module: "MMM-RAIN-MAP",
	position: "top_left",
	config: {
		// all your other config
		displayHoursBeforeRain: 1,
		// all your other config
	}
}

@Jalibu Unfortunately it doesn’t work, could it be an interference from the scenes module I am using?

Hi!

Great module - wondering if we can adjust the transparency of the rain layer? It’s very much in your face, especially with a dark theme in a dark kitchen.

Thanks!
