MMM-forecast-io -- Localized up to the minute weather

[rak]

Hi guys,

I like the concept of the bars for the min/max temperature very much. I wanted the look of the hourly temperature graph a bit more more modern and slick.

I sat down today and did some code magic. I am surprised how it went. The magicmirror is the first javescript project. So bear with me.

This is how it looks now.

I created a fork which I will clean up a bit in the next weeks. Today I am glad it works at all ,-)?

Enjoy.

Ralf

@rak There seems to be a small error in the script creating the graph:

// Init chart.js
this.chart = new Chart(ctx, {
  type: 'line',
  data: data,
  options: options
});

Throws an uncaught reference error. Unfortunately I know absolutely nothing about js, can you let me know how to fix it.

You had the plugin before?

Have you done this after switching to my fork? It should install chart.js as a dependency.

npm install

I hope this solves your problem. Let me know.

@paulocarrasco Thats an easy one:) You are missing an , after 'my api key'.

Here is the correct config:

{
      module: 'MMM-forecast-io',
      position: 'top_right',  // This can be any of the regions.
      config: {
        // See 'Configuration options' for more information.
        apiKey: 'my api key', // Dark Sky API key.
        // Only required if geolocation doesn't work:
        latitude:   37.1468,
        longitude: -8.5846
      }
},

@rak Had the original working OK, tried to npm install chart.js in the MM root :(

the npm install in the MMM-foecast.io directory fixed it. :)

looks great, good work.

thanks

@rak
Nice work. i just installed it and adjusted for fitting my mirror.

Is it possible to shrink the height from the graph?
or is it calculated from the width (400px) to keep its aspect ratio?

[rak]

Should be easy do adapt. I can check if the height is currently fixed or exposed in the config.js.

[barnosch]

guess i found it in the

renderPrecipitationGraph: function ()

and

renderSVGPrecipitationGraph: function ()

both heights are calculated there.

var width = this.config.precipitationGraphWidth; 
var height = Math.round(width * 0.3); // 120 by default

Played around with the setting, but it did not change anything. Don’t get it currently… mabye you have an idea?

[barnosch]

seems not the correct place.
Even if comment out both lines with “height” it makes no difference…

Hey! Although this thread is a bit old, I’m wondering if I can get some assistance. I have my DarkSky API key correct, however the console of my Mirror is telling me that it refreshed the access token because it had expired. I checked the API panel, and it did indeed show that the API had been called, so my API key is correct. However, the weather module never loaded. Any suggestions?
