@Sean Hey there thank you for this cool module.
I have one problem though i have different pages on my mirror MMM-pages and i also use your MMM-DropboxWallpaper that i use for a few of those pages as a background (not on all of them) and works fine… so this brings me to my question… I want the MMM-WeatherBackground only for Page 1 where my weather module is at?? How do i do that so it does not surface on all backgrounds …i did make sure that i have listed MMM-WeatherBackground on Page 1 only not on exemptions where those modules that are on all pages reside.

Please help me out and thank you again

MMM-WeatherBackground will display photos in ANYWHERE you appoint.
Maybe you’ve been appointing .fullscreen.below as targetDOM, so, it shows photos on fullscreen_below - where is shared with all pages of screen globally.

So, here is a simple(?) trick.

I made a dummy module for doing nothing but just existing.
https://github.com/eouia/MMM-Dummy
Install that, and modify configuration like this.

{
  module:"MMM-Dummy",
  position: "fullscreen_below",
  config: {
    width:"100vw",
    height: "100vh",
  }
},
{
  module: "MMM-WeatherBackground",
  config: {
    targetDOM: ".MMM-Dummy"
  }
},

Now MMM-Dummy will contain weatherphotos as its background image. You can show/hide this module with any page controlling modules.(MMM-Pages? MMM-Caroulsel?)

Don’t sell yourself short, bro. There hasn’t been a module I’ve broken that you haven’t been able to fix. I tip my hat to you.

@mykle1 yeah well…

I’ve added configuration sample for NOAA3.
I like @cowboysdude’s forked version, but it’s images are static.
I always love random. That is why I build this module.
Fortunately, since @cowboysdude updated his NOAA3, now I can suggest a configuration for my original to use with NOAA3

{
  //disabled:true,
  module: "MMM-WeatherBackground",
  config: {
    targetDOM: ".MMM-Dummy", // < -- change to where you want to display
    notification: "WEATHER",
    payloadConverter:(payload)=>{
      var n = (moment().isAfter(moment(payload.sunset))) ? "night" : "day"
      var iconMap = {
        "tstorms": "thunderstorm",
        "chancesnow": "snow"
      }
      var ret = (payload.icon in iconMap) ? iconMap[payload.icon] : payload.icon
      return ret + " " + n
    }
  }
},
