I like this. It’s tight and conveys a lot of information in little real estate.

Thanks bro. That was definitely my intention.

@flieger4711

Here is my config.js entry, showing my lat and long

{
	disabled: false,
	module: "MMM-BMW-DS",
	position: "bottom_bar",      // bottom_bar is best
	config: {
		apiKey: "YOUR API KEY GOES HERE", // Free API key @ darksky.net
		tempUnits: "F",  // C of F
                lat: '40.123456', 
                lng: '-74.123456',  
	        useHeader: false,   // true if you want a header                 
		header: "Your header",
		maxWidth: "100%",
		}
	},

Thank you Mykle1, but I live in Germany. Koord: N48… and E008…

If I put in my Koordinates I get the message “Boring Weather”, but If I take the darksky.net I get the right values:

https://api.darksky.net/forecast/7146c1592f88d9179586e0fa404aad4b/49.0069,8.4034

any Idea?
thanks and best regards

I’ve fixed your issue and uploaded the new files to the repo. Please do a git pull in your MMM-BMW-DS directory. Now you can use your latitude and longitude (49.0069 & 8.4034) in the config.js entry. I just tested it for you.

Thank you for your interest and please let me know that it works for you.

There was a problem with the API depending on location. I updated the module for @flieger4711. It will now function as intended.

I don’t know who’s api key that is but it should not be posted in public.

Minor Update:

Added a css config option with choice of 4 fonts from Google Fonts.

Please do a git pull in your MMM-BMW-DS directory or install as per the README here.

Minor Update:

• v1.0.2

Added 2 more font choices from Google Fonts and cleaned up the function responsible for css file selection, making it easier to quickly add just about any Google Font.

If you see a font you like here I can add it to the module upon request. https://fonts.google.com/

Please do a git pull in your MMM-BMW-DS directory or install as per the README here.

@justjim1220

Ahh, glad you are playing with it. Looks great! :-)

[jorgeb1502]

Tried to add this to my mirror, but it doesn’t show up on the screen.

[Mykle1]

@jorgeb1502

Please post your config.js entry for this module in a code block so I can have a look at it. xxxxxx out your apiKey before posting

[jorgeb1502]

Never mind. Found a typo in the config. Working now. Is it possible to use this with a different language?

[Mykle1]

I think the API does offer the data in different languages. I will take a look at that, and when time permits, I’ll update the module.

EDIT:

I’ll post the update tomorrow. I’m done for the night.

@jorgeb1502

I’ve completed the update. The module now has language translations straight from the API itself. Please do a git pull in your MMM-BMW-DS directory or install as per the readme. There is an amended config entry in the readme so please take note of that.

Let me know how that works for you.
