MMM-Sunrise-Sunset

vbloke

@mrdenmark if you update the module now, it should account for the timezone if you set it in your config. From your latitude/longitude, yours (I think) would be “Pacific/Auckland”.

Try this:

{
  module: "MMM-Sunrise-Sunset",
  position: "top_left",
  config: {
	latitude: "-44.57",
	longitude: "168.50",
	timezone: "Pacific/Auckland",
	layout: "list"
  }
},

worked,cheers!

@vbloke you can get the timezone from the lat/lng

Made a fairly big update using a different API that needs a free key.
https://ipgeolocation.io/signup.html

It now gives you moonrise and moonset times and day length.

I tried this module but activating this causes my MM to show nothing. I had no error messages on MM logs (in my case, a docker server-only instance) and nor on my Chrome console.

In other words it looks that the IPGeo free key expires in 1 day…

@henry2man the API is limited to 1000 calls per day. It doesn’t appear to expire after a day.

Can you post the config for the module?

it should look like this:

    {
      module: "MMM-Sunrise-Sunset",
      position: "bottom_bar",
      config: {
		apiKey: "API_KEY",
		latitude: "123.123",
		longitude: "23.456",
		layout: "inline"
      }
    },

I removed the config but seemed like yours. I followed the README from master. I’ll try again later, but also I’ve reviewed this API

https://api.sunrise-sunset.org/json?lat=36.7201600&lng=-4.4203400&formatted=0

It has enough information and seems to be free.

What do you think?

vbloke

@henry2man that’s the one I was using before, but it required a lot of work to get the time in your local time zone as all times were returned as UTC.

The new API uses your location to format the time automatically.

@vbloke In this link there is a simple way to get a ISO 8601 into your local timezone --> https://stackoverflow.com/a/31453408

var utcDate = '2011-06-29T16:52:48.000Z';  // ISO-8601 formatted date returned from server
var localDate = new Date(utcDate);

api.sunrise-sunset.org can return ISO 8601 dates using

formatted=0

parameter…

If date parsing is the major issue & this solution works I think this approach is simpler. Even you can default the URL and simply configure lat/long & style (inline/list)

Just my 2 cents…

This is right out of my MMM-SunRiseSet module.

Feel free to use it if you like. :thumbsup:

// sunrise set to local time using moment
   var sunrise = document.createElement("div");
   sunrise.classList.add("small", "bright", "sunrise");
   sunrise.innerHTML = "Sunrise is at " + moment(SunRiseSet.sunrise).local().format("h:mm a") + " &nbsp &nbsp "
+ "Sunset is at " + moment(SunRiseSet.sunset).local().format("h:mm a");
   wrapper.appendChild(sunrise);
