    @matefits71 said in MMM-RAIN-MAP:

    Basically the forecast are 2h old, it means it’s showing what happen and not what will happen,

    Well, MMM-RAIN_MAP is based on the FREE Rainviewer API, which allows the use the radar data of the past.

    How do you put the forecast to update for the next 2h?

    Forecast is a central feature of RainViewers business model. The forecast function of RainViewer requires for the iOS-app (certainly for the Android app, too) a paid subscription. Thus, I strongly doubt, that someone can use a paid function for free via their API. If I read their basic API information correctly, you don’t even get as a patron or gold member of the paid API, the forecast calculations.

    Also, is there any chance to add more fluidity (or fps) to the animation? For exemple the app raintoday (ios) does this perfectly. I’m not sure if we can get there API.

    The API provides a radar snap shot every 10 minutes- Thus, you’ll meed to interpolate the precipitation images (intensity, direction, accuracy, etc.) which is not a trivial task and needs -depending on the used method and number of interpolations- quite some computational resources. which might not be available on an RPi.

      @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 :-/

              @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

                  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.

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

                      @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
