MMM-Snow - Yet another Snow Module

[bhepler]

Heh. Love the recent update, @michmich. Thanks for the entertainment.

@yawns I have tried position: ‘fullscreen_above’, and position: ‘fullscreen_below’, but no luck :(
maybe there is any restriction that on Raspberry Pi Zero W is not working? Or there is an issue with Midori browser? Is it needed any plugins to show this snow?

Thank You

Hello @jasondreher, could you share yours config.js configuration? It would be a very kind. Thanks You

@Andrius-ok
You need both MMM-Snow and MMM-Remote-Control, and its not just my config you need. here are the basic steps I took…

1. Using home assistant (for me on another pi) https://home-assistant.io/
2. Set up a Sensor in configuration.yaml for HomeAssistant for weather underground

- platform: wunderground
  api_key: xxxxxxxxxxxxx
  monitored_conditions:
    - alerts
    - dewpoint_f
    - temp_f
    - weather

3. Automation in Home Assistant will use sell commands in configuration.yaml to run

switch
    mmsnow:
      command_on: 'curl "http://192.XXX.X.XXX:8090/remote?action=SHOW&module=module_0_MMM-Snow"'
      command_off: 'curl "http://192.XXX.X.XXX:8090/remote?action=HIDE&module=module_0_MMM-Snow"' 

4. Automation in HA calls these when the state changes to "Snow"

• alias: “ShowSnow”
  initial_state: True
  trigger:
  platform: state
  entity_id: sensor.pws_weather
  to: ‘Snow’
  action:

  • service: shell_command.show_snow

• alias: “HideSnow”
  initial_state: True
  trigger:
  platform: state
  entity_id: sensor.pws_weather
  from: ‘Snow’
  action:

  • service: shell_command.hide_snow

I use home assistant along with smartthings to automate my lights...
I plan to share my entire project soon.

MMM-Snow

cannot make MMM-Snow module to work on Midori :(

Maybe someone can share MMM-Snow config.js configuration? cannot make module to work on Midori. Thanks!

@Andrius ok

here is the Snow Module in my config.js

                {
                        module: "clock",
                        position: "top_left",
                        header: "",
                        config: {
                                displaySeconds: false
                        }
                },
                {
                        module: "MMM-Snow",
                        position: "fullscreen_above",
                        header: "",
                        config: {
                                flakeCount: 25
                        }
                },
                {
                        module: "calendar_monthly",
                        position: "top_left",
                        config: {

                        }
                },

I hope this can help you

@Andrius-ok midori doesnt support es6 thats why a lot of modules dont work on midori, but from a quick scan i couldnt spot a es6 feature. But I could imagine that midori also doesnt support css3 and this module is making havy use of css3

Thanks a bunch for this. Its quite jerky for me. I have limited the flake count to 25 in the config. Whats my expectation here on a rasberry pi 3 with default modules plus globe, remote module , and traffic . Wondering if i didnt maybe nerf something in the initial first time install of the magic mirror following a tutorial?

Edit: Found the Answer had to downgrade electron bc I’m using stretch. Took forty minutes to locate an answer on google but worth it! Thanks a bunch for this module and the MM
