MMM-ISS

mrdenmark

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.

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?

@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

@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?

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

@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.

@timma11

Done. Take a look at the bottom of the readme
