MMM-NOAA - Another Weather Module

PILuke

Hello,
has someone tested the NOAA3 module with accuweather provider?
I think something is wrong to identify the city with lan and long.
With this config I don’t see any weather information from the module, only air quality:

		{
			disabled: false,
			module: 'MMM-NOAA3',
		 	position: 'top_right',
		     	config: {
				provider: "accuweather",
				apiKey: "xxxxxxxxxxxx",
				airKey: "yyyyyyyyy",
				css: "NOAA3",                  // THIS MUST CONTAIN A CSS STYLE NAME
				userlat: "45.483219", //MUST HAVE BOTH
				userlon: "9.203567"  //MUST HAVE BOTH
				}
		},

In the aw.js file I find this request:

url =  "http://dataservice.accuweather.com/currentconditions/v1/"+zip+"?apikey="+this.config.apiKey+"&details=true";

I think this request doesn’t pass the correct “location key” (the zip value).
Infact if I manually force a “location key” the “current conditions” start to work:

url =  "http://dataservice.accuweather.com/currentconditions/v1/214046?apikey="+this.config.apiKey+"&language="+config.language+"-it&details=true";

This instead doesn’t work for the forecast, if I force the “location key” the module doesn’t show the “four day forecast”

url: "http://dataservice.accuweather.com/forecasts/v1/daily/5day/214046?apikey="+this.config.apiKey+"&language="+config.language+
"-us&details=true&metric=false",

I found also another problem with the language because in the request is passed the right language but not the right region, it remains “us”, so the module doesn’t show any value :

&language="+config.language+"-us&details=true&metric=false"

Can someone resolve the problem?
I’m not so able with js :-)
Thanks

@piluke I will look into it. However the one problem AW provider does have is at times when you’re just starting the module you have to reload it to get the 4 day forecast…why, I’m not really sure it’s just how it’s been working.

I’ve made some changes but a few more need to be made here’s an example of the update:

cowboysdude

@piluke the updated aw.js is uploaded to git hub.

Do a git pull and the config has changed to include your zip…
REMEMBER YOU MAY HAVE TO RELOAD IT TO GET THE BOTTOM FORECAST…tis an accuweather issue…

{
			disabled: false,
			module: 'MMM-NOAA3',
		 	position: 'top_right',
		     	config: {
				provider: "accuweather",
				apiKey: "xxxxxxxxxxxx",
				airKey: "yyyyyyyyy",
				css: "NOAA3", 
				userlat: "45.483219",  
				userlon: "9.203567"  
			        zip: "11111" //YOUR ZIPCODE	
                           }
		},

cowboysdude

Still working on openweather api as time permits…it’s a complete train wreck LOL

Something has changed…but I am working to fix it.

PILuke

@cowboysdude many many thanks for your help and your time.
Now the module is working.
I can see current conditions and forecast (without reload the page) but … they are not correct. :-)
I make some test, with my zip code the aw system identify a city in Mexico not in Italy!

I think it’s necessary to identify a single locationKey with aw API.
I found three way:
by lat and lon:
https://developer.accuweather.com/accuweather-locations-api/apis/get/locations/v1/cities/geoposition/search

or by zip code:
https://developer.accuweather.com/accuweather-locations-api/apis/get/locations/v1/postalcodes/search

or by name:
https://developer.accuweather.com/accuweather-locations-api/apis/get/locations/v1/cities/search

but i don’t know how to use it in javascript…

Infact if I put (in config.js) the right locationKey for my city instead zipcode the module work perfectly.

cowboysdude

@piluke Okay so use your location key LOL

gh057

@cowboysdude thank you for your module, the ability to use the module with various providers is really something that makes a difference!

Would you consider adding a wind direction (icon or text) in a future update ?

PILuke

@cowboysdude yes, of course :-)
It’s better to modify the README.md for not to use a zip code but a Locationkey from accuweather in the config file.
Many thanks

cowboysdude

@piluke You could always do a pull request to modify the readme on github ;)

cowboysdude

Just updated OpenWeather and the main js…had issues with the forecast NOT loading…it’s all working now. :)

In a terminal window go to:

MagicMirror/modules/MMM-NOAA3
type ‘git pull’ to update!

As always, great job!
Didn’t noticed and I don’t know if it has to do with the upgrade or not.
saw this message in the terminal window, but all seems to work fine for me.
Just wanted to let you know.

Whoops! There was an uncaught exception...

Thank you sir!! Yes that happens at times with the air quality part…it usually fixes itself :)

@cowboysdude

OK, than I don’t need to worry.

Hey guys, I got this up and running tonight, Great work on this!
I’m only having one problem, the 4 day forecast doesn’t seem to load every time I start mm. It seems to only show the forecast once every four or so times i restart mm without any config changes, just a simple pm2 restart mm. Anyone else seen this?

Hi
I do the Gitpull to Update this modul but in the CLI indows i got this…

MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?

Shutting down server...

I do not find the icon: '50n' and icon: '09n' in the images folder !?!

cowboysdude

@rob2791 it is a glitch that happens with certain providers…not sure why.

cowboysdude

@hubschra01 And you won’t find those icons…it runs off an icon array in the main js file.

From time to time depending on which service is being requested it can return an undefined. There are so many things at play in this module. Just reload it and it should work. :)

Great Module that makes me change from Wonderground to NOAA3, but I have found an issue that my wife don’t like :-)
Since i activated NOAA3 the align from calender und Wounderlist is centered. if i deactivate the Module the caldender entries are aligned left as they schould do.

Any ideas ?

cowboysdude

@eniac Could possibly be this line in the css file:

.MMM-NOAA3 .table th, tr, td{ text-align:center; table-layout:fixed; }

I would say take that out of the NOAA3 css and retry.

I don’t use either module but just for the fun of it I put the calendar module up and here’s a picture of the result:

@cowboysdude Ok so right now i have MMM-NOAA.
My question is: Do i have to delete that and than git clone MMM-NOAA3 so i can use MMM-WeatherBackground???.. or can i upgrade the MMM-NOAA some how to get to 3 than change the config.js accordingly for NOAA3 to work with the other providers other than WeatherUnderground that NOAA currently uses??

This brings me to the other question; Which of the API providers i should use that allows for most ease of access and most free calls and obviously expected quality of information?? what do you advise or your experiences are??

Thank you
Denis
