MMM-DynamicWeather

scottcl88

@george hmm. What activity did you see after rebooting? Does it work for a little bit then crash?

Perhaps this module is timing out or too much going on that it locks things up; but that seems far-fetched to me. What other modules do you have? Do you mind sharing your config.js (remove sensitive info)?

I’ll definitely look into getting more logging and error catching in my module, but this may not be specific to this module. Has this happened with other modules; if you disable MMM-DynamicWeather does it always work? Have you tried updating your MagicMirror? Any recent changes to your installation or RaspberryPi?

@scottcl88 Hi,
yesterday the mirror crashed two hours after starting. I did not update the Magic Mirror folder from last year, from June or July. Now I updated with “git pull && npm install” and restarted the DynamicWeather module. I’ll write to you if it crashes again.
I don’t have many modules: the “default” modules and MMM-AirQuality, MMM-EyeCandy, MMM-ImagesPhotos, MMM-rain-forecast, MMM-Snow.
Thank you very much for your patience and understanding. I really like your module and I hope it will work on my mirrors :)

@scottcl88 Hi,
an hour after the mirror was turned on, MMM-News disappeared (nothing was displayed), MMM-ImagesPhotos disappeared and the clock stopped. I disabled DynamicWeather, I restarted and now everything is ok. I think there is a conflict.
I’ve had mirrors for almost a year, it’s always worked perfectly, it’s the first time something like this has happened.

@george I am having trouble reproducing. I installed MMM-News and MM-ImagesPhotos and have been running just fine for several hours and see all modules.

I did just push a new update to MMM-DynamicWeather with more logging and error handling, can you get latest and see if that does anything?

A few more things :

I’ve posted my config.js, do you see anything notably different with yours that I should try?

Can you verify your API key works by going to the link in your browser:
- https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?appid=API_KEY&id=LOC_ID
- You should be able to actually see the weather data.
Have you reviewed this post about troubleshooting?

@scottcl88 Hi,
I reinstalled the module an hour ago on the mirror that has the most modules and the mirror work. :)
Many thanks!

the animations of the modul are always in foreground.
f.e. If i play a video in fullscren, the clouds in front of it.
Is it possible to change this?

scottcl88

@sceetch Well that’s what the zIndex option is supposed to, but I don’t believe it works. As an alternative, you can change the opacity to something lower and be able to see through the animations.

Unfortunately I believe I would need to spend a lot more time re-writing the animations to get the zIndex thing to work. I might try to look into that later, or maybe someone from the community can take a try.

There is an active issue for that: https://github.com/scottcl88/MMM-DynamicWeather/issues/36
