MMM-NOAA - Another Weather Module

[Chris]

Hello,

I tried to install this module but I can not make it work.

instead of the module on the magic mirror screen, it says: “weather info”

I attach to this post my config file:

		{
			module: 'MMM-NOAA',
			position: 'top_right',
			config: {
				apiKey: "a3cXXXXX",    // https://www.wunderground.com/weather/api  select the middle plan... 
				useAir: true,             // set to false if you do not want to use Air Quality Index
				airKey: "Z4pXXXXXXX",    // IF you want Air Quality Index
				pws: "pws:I93SEVRA3",         // go here to find your pws: https://www.wunderground.com/wundermap
				lat: "48.919XXX",        // need this for sunrise/sunset  if left blank none will show  -- find them here: http://www.latlong.net/
				lon: "2.533XXX",       // need this for sunrise/sunset  if left blank none will showshowClock: true,           // Hides or shows clock
				dformat: false,             // for M/D/YYYY format, false for D/M/YYYY
				format: "24",              // 12 or 24 hour format.. will default to 12 hour if none selected.
				ampm: false,                // to show AM and PM on Sunrise/Sunset time
				showGreet: false,          // deafult is false - to show greeting under clock and above date
				name: "",                  // Your name
				showWind: true,
				showDate: false,
				showForecast: true,         //show bottom 3 day forecast
				flash: true,                 //Today in forecast flashes halo
				showUV: true,               //show UV index
				showBar: true,             // show Barometer
				showHum: true,              //show Humidity level
				position: 'top_right',       //whatever you have in above position must also be here
				alert: true                //show weather alerts default is true
		}
		},		

By contrast, weather underground works properly so I think it does not come from the API key.

Does anyone have an idea? Thank you

@Chris start the mirror like this
npm start dev

in that window let me know what if any errors you’re getting :)

MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues

Thanks for your help

I corrected the pws value and it works. I made a mistake in the way of writing it.

pws: "pws:I93SEVRA3",

instead of

pws: "I93SEVRA3",

Sorry to have bothered you for so little

Thank you very much for your help

[cowboysdude]

@Chris Hahhahaahha it happens :) Glad you got it working!!! You didn’t bother me!!

First: this is a beautiful module, I like it very much!
But sometimes it does strange things: today is thursday and normally the module would show today, friday, saturday, etc.
But sometimes the module suddenly shows wednesday (yesterday) only.
After restarting (or from itself) the module is normal again.
Somebody any idea?

@Peter

It sounds like your whole MagicMirror instance freezes. But you can only see this at the NOAA module, because once the modules have loaded their informations they will show (without updated informations) their stuff.
So the other modules freezes, too but u can’t recognize it because u normally see no refreshing data. But on the NOAA module u expect a change of the shown data.

Sorry, my english is bad. Hope u could understand.

please check your log files and post the content

[Peter]

@cruunnerr your english is good to understand.
I think my MM is freezing indeed (see my other thread “something is wrong”).
But I do not understand why NOAA gives yesterdays weather while freezing.
If it gave only todays wheather I would understand.
I suspect one of the other modules making my MM freeze.
But which one …
Peter

[cruunnerr]

if u use pm2, u should check pm2 logs and check the errors. Other way is to start MM with develop mode: npm start dev or with ssh: DISPLAY=:0 npm start dev

Or start it with Firefox on your pc and use Firebug
