MMM-Lunartic

[mumblebaj]

@Mykle1 Thanks for this module. I am having an issue with the module in that the image moon.png is not loading. I can see the following on the Console:

Is there anything I am missing perhaps? My config:

        disabled: false,
        module: 'MMM-Lunartic',
        position: 'bottom_right', // Best in left, center, or right regions
        config: {
            mode: "rotating", // rotating or static
            image: "current", // animation, current, DayNight or static
            distance: "km", // miles or km
            sounds: "yes", // howling wolf, only on a full moon
            useHeader: "true", // true if you want a header
            header: "Moon Phase", // Any text you want
            maxWidth: "300px",
            animationSpeed: 0,
            rotateInterval: 15000,
        }
    },

@mumblebaj

I just used your config entry (after adding the opening curly bracket before { disabled: false,) and it fired right up. See pic:

Can you put this url into a browser and see if you get the image?

https://api.usno.navy.mil/imagery/moon.png?date=today&time=now

Request:

Can a few people outside the USA test the above url for me and report here? My thanks!

@Mykle1 works 👍🏼…Germany

@Mykle1 It says :
This site can’t be reached api.usno.navy.mil’s server IP address could not be found. from South Africa. I guess that it’s restricted somehow.

If that is the case then there is nothing I can do about that. However, there are times when the image does not load and you have to try again. It doesn’t happen too often. If you care to try again you may have better luck.

That’s very possible…it could be blocked by your ISP OR the Navy could block the traffic to your server.

Try putting this in a browser window and see if you get results from that…

@cowboysdude That returned the following result:

@mumblebaj

That’s the return from my API for the data. The image comes from the USNO API

[Stoffbeuteluwe]

@Mykle1 now the image is not loading…

Yes, I see. The USNO API is having trouble at the moment. “api.usno.navy.mil refused to connect.”

I will see what i can find out.

in the meantime, you can use the MMM-Lunartic.js file that is inside the ‘temporary fix’ folder in the module folder. This will give you pictures until the api becomes functional again

[Stoffbeuteluwe]

@Mykle1 ok thanks

[mumblebaj]

@Mykle1 Thanks. I set it to “animation” and it is working now.

Thanks. I set it to “animation” and it is working now.

yes because that uses a local .gif file that is included with the module.the alternate module.js file also uses local pix for just such an occasion. either will work. for now, the the usno api is still being a pain in the butt

[mumblebaj]

@Mykle1 No problem. Thanks for a really nice module.

My pleasure. I’ll keep an eye on the USNO API. It’s still has issues.

[Stoffbeuteluwe]

@Mykle1 Now it works …

Yes, the USNO API is working again so you can get the most current images of the moon and its phases. So, rename the temporary fix .js file (if you are using it) and use the original MMM-Lunartic.js file again.

@Mykle1 Thanks for helping and your nice modules

I am using the current view of the moon. I have the module working. I just need to remove the line over the moon image and center the text that states “Moon Phase” to line it up in the center over the moon image.
