MMM-RAIN-MAP (new: version 2.x)

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.

@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?

@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

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

i don’t understand your question…

the option u listed is dependent on a default module sending a notification that Rain-Map USES .

so that means you MUST use the default module

if its not sent, then there is nothing to receive
if the data is wrong, then it doesn’t work.

@sdetweil you answered my question thank you!

Jalibu

thx @sdetweil for explaining.
It‘s nothing but a bug. I will fix that as soon as I find the time for some maintenance on that module.

sdetweil

@jalibu but I think its a bug in the weather module

cowboysdude

I solved all my weather api issues by just installing my own weather station LOL

Jalibu

Hi,
I did some maintenance/refactorings on that module.
Version 2.0.0 is currently available as Feature Branch and much more lightweight.
I also removed GoogleMaps support because the maintenance effort for both maps was too high and the code looked very untidy as a result.

So far known settings like “onlyOnRain” are missing, because I developed the module from Scratch. As soon as I have first feedback if the module runs stable, I plan to transfer all features of the old version into the new one.

The configuration to version 1.x is completely incompatible and must be adapted.

Are there any volunteer users here to please look at version 2.0 and run it for 1-2 weeks for testing?

swvalenti

@jalibu yes sir I will update shortly and run it and let you know.

Was able to get it working, you didn’t have lat and long in config only mentioned that is required on the bottom. Working now thanks I will post back

@Jalibu defaultZoomLevel not working changed it to 12 and map stays the same at default 8

Firgured it out change config to zoom instead of defaultZoomLevel

swvalenti

change mapHeight and mapWidth to height and width in config. Doesn’t work the way you have it
