This usually happens when there is an error in the config.js entry for this module. country, regionState and city options cannot contain spaces. It is stated in the example config of the repo. This is most common mistake.

Please post your config entry in a code block.

Module is working as expected.

You are absolutely right, sir. The module/widget does accept “None” in the regionState: config option and fixes that issue rather nicely. This is the first I’ve heard of that problem. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. And thanks for the solution. I went to the url and confirmed.

[mrdenmark]

problem solved-it was the none required in state!thanks for the assistance

Update to Version 1.0.1

Updated module and fixed config so that underscores are no longer necessary in config options country, regionState and city.

Also, when regionState is not necessary for your location (Ex. Toulon, France), simply leave regionState blank.

disabled: false,
module: 'MMM-ISS',
position: 'middle_center',
config: {
    country: "United States",
    regionState: "New York",       // Outside USA may not need regionState. If so, leave blank "".
    city: "New York",
...

disabled: false,
module: 'MMM-ISS',
position: 'middle_center',
config: {
    country: "France",
    regionState: "",       // Outside USA may not need regionState. If so, leave blank "".
    city: "Toulon",
...

Perfect !

[Mykle1]

In case anyone would like to use this module for multiple locations, simply add another config entry.

[mrdenmark]

would it be possible to restrict the times it updates? say once an hour during the day and every 30 seconds when sightings are possible?

[Mykle1]

@mrdenmark

The default updateInterval is 5 * 60 * 1000 (5 minutes). You can adjust this in your config. As the module only displays the next flyover, setting the updateInterval to 30 seconds would not change the information being displayed by the module. With that, I have no plans to make those changes but you are free to fork the module and make any changes you like.

any ideas why the iss module has started displaying like this?-!
both modules are in lower_third but the same thing happens wherever i move them, if i move iss to bottom_left for instance it will overlap the news feed in bottom_bar

@mrdenmark

any ideas why the iss module has started displaying like this?

Hmm, until I can see what is going on there you can use something like this in your custom.css file and adjust accordingly.

.MMM-ISS {
  margin-top: 0px;
  margin-bottom: 0px;
  margin-left: 0px;
  margin-right: 0px;
}

and this to move MMM-Aurora

.MMM-Aurora {
  margin-top: 0px;
  margin-bottom: 0px;
  margin-left: 0px;
  margin-right: 0px;
}

I played with mine for a minute and was able to do this. Adjust the values until you are satisfied.

the module has recently started telling me there are no sightings for several days but that date has been moving further and further away, anyone have any ideas why?

Change of flight path?

I tested with your config entry and got the same results as you. Tested with my entry and all is normal. Perhaps you can try with a neighboring city or slightly different lat and long as a further test.

@Mykle1
i’ve been playing around,i can’t get any nz locations to work but use the same info on the website and its fine,original config also works fine,no idea whats wrong,it worked great up until around 10 days ago.maybe something on the website has changed?

[MoreLinux]

@mrdenmark Queenstown NZ doesn’t have any ISS passes until 30 Nov. 2019, so your mirror might be correct.

You can check it at: https://www.heavens-above.com/PassSummary.aspx?satid=25544&lat=-45.0312&lng=168.6626&loc=Queenstown&alt=0&tz=NZST

[mrdenmark]

@MoreLinux
yeah,i guess thats the reason,for some reason i thought visible passe were much more frequent than that

Do you have an idea?
Thanks a lot

Pöcking

Please try, Osterhofen or Deggendorf as your city, whichever is closer. Pöcking and Pocking are not acceptable by the module. Keep in mind, the ISS is not visible everywhere.

You can go to https://spotthestation.nasa.gov/ and find a better location, if there is one.

Peace

[timma11]

@Mykle1, Thanks for making these modules. I have 2 of yours installed. Might I suggest adding to the readme that the module can’t use every location and that it can only use ones listed on the findthesation.nasa.gov site.
