Working Weather Underground module?

[c1olli]

One way I forgot.

Upload the data to openweathermap and use a module it is working with, but I was unable to connect my weather station to openweathermap.

@chanster Thats one way to get around it.

Ive just been having a look at it this evening. I found the new API Documentation https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KGb8bTVYRsNgljnNH67AMhckY8AQT2FVwZ9urj8SWBs/edit

I punched my details in along with my API key just into my browser and it returned the data in JSON format which looked good so it shouldnt take too much to modify it to work again.

That is correct - here is my reply from Wounderground:

@c1olli I Was looking through the MMM-wunderground.js and relised it handles forecast and current weather. Unfortunately I havent found any screen shots of what the module looked like before the changes. Is it worth trying to mod what is there or just build something new.

Does any one have a screen shot of what it looked like??

[c1olli]

I don’t have an old version, but here the actual forecast:

[Saabman]

cool,

I found some more info about the module and screen shots etc.

https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/128/weatherunderground-currently-hourly-daily-configurable?page=1

That will help piece it all back together

[c1olli]

Wunderground API calls:
current weather:

https://api.weather.com/v2/pws/observations/current?stationId=here_PWS&format=json&units=m&apiKey=here_API

7 Day forcast:

https://api.weather.com/v2/pws/dailysummary/7day?stationId=here_PWS&format=json&units=m&apiKey=here_API

[Saabman]

OK Ive had a bit of a play with it today and Ive had “some” success.

The sunrise/set is broken the icons are broken no rain data (which doesnt seem to be in the original any way) and no forecast.

But it does give current Temp, Humdity and the wind direction icon works.

I haven’t looked at the forecast stuff yet. Just commented it all out for the moment.

If you want to have a play clone the Develop branch https://github.com/saabman/MMM-WunderGround/tree/Develop

git clone --single-branch --branch Develop https://github.com/saabman/MMM-WunderGround.git

copy the Config from the readme.md and add your PWS and API key and it “should” give you something.

[c1olli]

That’s a good beginning :D
At the moment I have to install MM new, because the update failed and the system was stuck.
I will test it when MM ist working again.

[sdetweil]

@c1olli how did u do the update? manually or my upgrade script?

what error did u get?

[c1olli]

I did it like it is written in the MM manual.

git clone && npm install

But I saved the MM folder with all my settings.

[sdetweil]

@c1olli try my upgrade script, from here
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

I think u will need to use force as a parameter, (instead of apply) unless u copy back the saved mm.

u said it was broken… what was the prior results? black screen? won’t start?

[c1olli]

My plan was to install all modules and then copy the config.js back.

[sdetweil]

@c1olli u can install too w my install script

but I think my upgrade script should fix it…

[c1olli]

It’s too late - I’m working for it for a few hours now and I formatted the SD card, new rasbian…
But thanks for help.

[sdetweil]

@c1olli yeh, I don’t install raspian

[c1olli]

eeeeh - that was before you told me about the new way. :(

[sdetweil]

@c1olli sorry!

[c1olli]

no problem the way is a little bit longer, but I will go to finish it.
For the next time I know the new way - hopefully I will not forget it :D

[chanster]

@Saabman Thank you for doing this! When I tried out your version of the module, my MM loads with a blank screen. Actually I ran into this same problem when I tried to modify the modules myself a couple of days ago using the new API documentation that you found.

When I manually try using the API via the URL, it seems to return data (I’ve *** some data for privacy) ie

{"observations":[{"stationID":"***","obsTimeUtc":"2021-01-03T18:43:34Z","obsTimeLocal":"2021-01-03 10:43:34","neighborhood":"***","softwareType":null,"country":"US","solarRadiation":252.0,"lon":-121.763,"realtimeFrequency":null,"epoch":1609699414,"lat":37.32,"uv":0.7,"winddir":22,"humidity":85,"qcStatus":1,"metric":{"temp":12,"heatIndex":12,"dewpt":9,"windChill":12,"windSpeed":0,"windGust":3,"pressure":1024.38,"precipRate":0.00,"precipTotal":0.00,"elev":150}}]}

I cannot see anything in the logs that is helpful :(
