MMM-DynamicWeather

@scottcl88 Hi,
I installed MMM-DynamicWeather a few days ago. It’s a very nice module, but my mirrors (I have three) lock daily and go from portrait mode to landscape mode, the Weather Forecast module is no longer displayed. Does anyone else have such problems?

@scottcl88 said in MMM-DynamicWeather:

A module to display different weather effects (ie: rain, snow, clouds, lightning) based on current weather from OpenWeatherMap API. Also allows for custom effects based on weather codes or just a date; such as for displaying hearts on the screen for Valentine’s day. Heavily configurable.

All info can be found here: https://github.com/scottcl88/MMM-DynamicWeather

This is AWESOME work!!! My kids enjoy looking at the clouds scroll through the screen… Makes an, otherwise, tad bit boring mirror quiet a bit more fun to look at. :thumbs_up:

@scottcl88 , Hi,
I don’t want to stress you out, but I like this module too much and I want to have it on the mirror. Now I have another problem: even if the night is clear, or the day is sunny, the module is not updated after the current weather. Clouds can still be seen. I waited a few hours, maybe there is a longer interval for the synchronization of the two modules but nothing changes. I installed it again two days ago, it’s “up to date”. If I restart the mirror, everything is ok, the clouds are no longer visible when the weather is sunny.

First, this is a great module!

Second, how can I use the “holiday” option? It appears to be looking for a string and not an array so how can I pass multiple holidays?

@sifuhall Did you review the configuration options? The holiday references the “Name” column from https://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/us/?hol=43122559. You can only have one holiday per effect, but you can have many effects. Please review the documentation and troubleshooting techniques listed at https://github.com/scottcl88/MMM-DynamicWeather.

Example:

{
 module: 'MMM-DynamicWeather',
 position: 'fullscreen_above',
 config: {
  api_key: "your_key",
  locationID: "4140963",
  effects: [
   {
    holiday: "Valentine's Day",
    images: ["heart1.png", "heart2.png"],
   },
   {
    holiday: "Super Bowl",
    images: ["football.png",],
   }
  ],
 }
},
