MMM-RAIN-MAP (new: version 2.x)

requiemmg

I really like this module, but I fear that the memory issue still persists.
Just cloned the repo, the module runs fine for some minutes or up to one hour, then the Raspi freezes. I am running on a 1GB 3B+ with 4 pages.
Anything you can do about it?

rubenix

@requiemmg since I updated the pi to a Pi 4 4GB have no issues at all…came from a pi3 1GB too

@requiemmg
yepp, as @rubenix mentioned, 1GB memory is unfortunately too little :-/
On my Raspi 4, 4GB it just works perfectly fine.

I already tried to optimize the rendering to get it working with limited resources, but without success ¯\(ツ)/¯

rubenix

@Jalibu & @requiemmg was tempted to go for the 8GB one, but I can confirm 4Gb is more than enought; go for it and use the pi3 for another project :love-you_gesture_light_skin_tone:

@rubenix u can make the swap space bigger too, helps in some environments

rubenix

@sdetweil i agree with that and sure it helps; but a pi 4 4Gb goes so smoth!!
pi3 1gb its ok for a simple magic mirror; for a complex one with transitions / animations it needs more gauge!

Great module. It’s running fantastically on my PI4.

requiemmg

Okay, for now I will not switch to a 4gb version. So I need to remember this one for “later”. Thanks.

I just tried this out. Thank you for the excellent module! Exactly what I was looking for.

Now if I could just get a dark theme going. I’m cool with the rain being in color, but it would be nice if I could figure out how to get the roads & state borders to only be outlines.

@Jalibu Just tried it out and it works fantastic wit OSM. Great job! :clapping_hands_medium-light_skin_tone: Many thanks

Hi @Jalibu!

This module is really amazing! Thank you so much!

Maybe you can help me with one issue: The map doesn’t center correctly on my Mirror… Have I done something wrong:

        {
            module: "MMM-RAIN-MAP",
            position: "bottom_right",
            config: {
                animationSpeed: 600,
                displayClockSymbol: false,
                displayTime: true,
                extraDelayLastFrame: 1000,
                height: "420px",
                lat: 50.31,
                lon: 11.91,
                map: "OSM",
                markers: [
                    { lat: 50.31, lng: 11.91, color: "red" },
                ],
                onlyOnRain: false,
                opacity: 0.65,
                timeFormat: 24,
                updateIntervalInSeconds: 300,
                width: "420px",
                zoom: 9,
                zoomOutEach: 1,
                zoomOutLevel: 3,
            }
        },

lon: 11.91

I think you have a typo in your config, lon: 11.91 should be lng: 11.91

That definitely was too easy!!! Thanks! I copied it from another module and didn’t see it :-)

bhepler

@karsten13 - Dude, that was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

I think I’m too stupid to get an API key. Are there any instructions in German or can someone help me?

Hi @singhharry12!

Für dieses Modul brauchst du keinen API Key, es sei denn du möchtest unbedingt GoogleMaps nutzen. Ich würde dir aber alleine wegen der Kosten empfehlen OpenStreetMaps zu nutzen. Das hier ist meine Config:

{
            module: "MMM-RAIN-MAP",
            position: "bottom_right",
            config: {
                animationSpeed: 600,
                displayClockSymbol: false,
                displayTime: true,
                extraDelayLastFrame: 1000,
                height: "420px",
                lat: 50.31,
                lng: 11.91,
                map: "OSM",
                markers: [
                    { lat: 50.31, lng: 11.91, color: "red" },
                ],
                onlyOnRain: false,
                opacity: 0.65,
                timeFormat: 24,
                updateIntervalInSeconds: 300,
                width: "420px",
                zoom: 9,
                zoomOutEach: 1,
                zoomOutLevel: 3,
            }
        },

Solltest du aber unbedingt die Google Maps Karte nutzen wollen, musst du dir einen API Key bei Google erstellen und dieser kostet bei Zugriffen etwas… Wenn du das unbedingt willst, sag Bescheid und ich mache dir eine Anleitung auf deutsch :-)

@singhharry12 - That’s exactly what I did. Add this line to your configuration: osmMapUrl: "https://cartodb-basemaps-{s}.global.ssl.fastly.net/dark_all/{z}/{x}/{y}.png"

Looks great (actual rain on rain map today!)
