@fozi but but but…can’t you just make it do what someone else wants? LOL

My answer is the same… fork the module and make all the changes you want ;)

thank you @matefits71 for your ideas and feedback and thank you @Fozi for your excellent answer about the reasons for all of the current limitations.

I am also not very satisfied with this module and already tried to refactor it with the windy.com API. First results looked okay but I wasn‘t able to get it to a stable state that did not hang up after a few hours on the Raspi due to its high resource consumption.

I am very open for any kind of contribution or ideas here and still think about a second try on the windy refactoring.

By now, unfortunately this module is still the best of its kind :-/

Awesome mod trying to use google maps and created an api key and billing but get error saying that billing needs to be enabled.

[sdetweil]

@swvalenti u have to provide a credit card for billing to work.

google gives you limited free usage, and their design is that the using app should keep working, even when the free usage runs out… So, they demand a useful card up front.

[swvalenti]

@sdetweil Correct I have primary and backup on file but doesn’t seem to work saying I still need billing enabled.

[sdetweil]

@swvalenti

Go to the API Console.
From the projects list, select a project or create a new one.
Open the console left side menu (three bars top left)  and select Billing.
Click Enable billing. ( ...

Even with default weather module installed the onlyOnRain= true, does not work. Anyone else?

[sdetweil]

@swvalenti said in MMM-RAIN-MAP:

onlyOnRain= true

that might be a bug
in the older currentWeather module it sends the icon name

this.sendNotification("CURRENTWEATHER_TYPE", { type: this.config.iconTable[data.weather[0].icon].replace("-", "_") });

and in the new weather , it sends the weatherType (code?)

			this.sendNotification("CURRENTWEATHER_TYPE", { type: this.weatherProvider.currentWeather().weatherType.replace("-", "_") });

u should be able to look at the notification in the developers window console

u can filter on the notification 'CURRENT" is enough I think

[swvalenti]

@sdetweil ok so if you don’t use default then it wont work as well then?
