MMM-DarkSkyForecast - Yet ANOTHER weather module

Mykle1

I was gonna post a 26k png file showing the Darksky api still working but the forum refused.

You’re never wrong, Sam. You’re just not always right. :-)

@mykle1 @sdetweil
False alarm! It works again! I don’t know why…
From your posts it seems that the end of this API is near … when will it happen can you advise me with similar graphics?

Thank you very much

Hi folks

I’m noticing that many of you are experiencing failures of this module. It’s very likely that Apple is systematically shutting down the API access for some, but not everyone. In that light, I’ve made a replacement for it that uses the OpenWeather API instead.

I’m not ready to release it to the masses just yet, but if you’d like to try it out, link is here:
https://github.com/jclarke0000/MMM-OpenWeatherForecast

It works and looks the same, but has a few added features – be sure to read the README to see how to configure it.

Let me know if you run into any issues. I’m currently running it on three separate systems – my laptop for debugging and two raspberry pis, and it’s looking pretty good.
