MMM-rain-forecast

[teresab]

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.

@teresab
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

So now I have to find a good soure for German rain data.

@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,
        "lat": 32.7668

Thanks in advance,

@jermaine171993 got the numbers reversed,

lat is left/right of england
long is up/down from equator

put address in google maps, drill to where u want
lat/lng are in the url

@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).

@Wenike @jermaine171993 I’m working on somthing similar based on the climacell API (providing worldwide data). Will be ready in a few days.
Currently working on https://github.com/lavolp3/MMM-Buienalarm/tree/climacell

Will move to a new rep soon.

@lavolp3 Awesome, please let me know when you do have one and I’ll even offer testing if you want.
