Hello Cirdan,

If you are interested to look into the SVG part this is where I found some of the information

If you like to take it a step further

Let me know if you need any help.

Today I have updated the module.
By request the width of the graph have been decreased by about 25%
The graph line has been updated to fit the canvas better according to received data.

The MMM-rain-forecast module has been updated. The brightness level was too low on some mirrors. The size of the graphics matches the module.

Hallo,
I have a Problem.
I want to use this module, but I live in Germany and I will need the rain forecast for my hometown in Germany. How can I change the Code? With the coordinations (latitude/longitude) of my city, ist doesn‘t work…
Please help me.

Hi there,

the source I use for the rainforecast uses a dutch rain radar. The data provided is limited to roughly the size of the netherlands. Though some german users near the dutch border are able to use the module

So unless you are located close to the dutch border, the module is not going to work for you. Maybe a german implementation exist, or you could build one yourself based on the dutch code and a german rain radar provider?

Slightly offtopic. Currently i’m testing a rebuild of the module, to be released soon

@MajorC You could try my MMM-Buienalarm. I just recently integrated the climacell API. Not as good as the dutch service but available in all Germany (and Europe.
Care to try it out?

Hey guys, does anyone have the latitude and longitude for Dallas Texas, I’ve tried the setting recommendations from the city list text file and many others, all i get is “no data”, but if i set the setting to default it collects the data no problem, please let me know if im missing something,

    "id": 4684904,
    "name": "Dallas County",
    "state": "TX",
    "country": "US",
    "coord": {
        "lon": -96.783607,

@jermaine171993 The data for this particular module is based in the Netherlands and the original developer stated it was for the Netherlands. I’m suspecting it won’t display data for anywhere not in the Netherlands. (I really want to use this too here in the US).
