Weather

[RHAN68]

Hi,
I am new to all of this and I have no coding experience or knowledge of the raspberry pi.
I have a RP4 working with the basic MM ( clock ,calendar,weather , etc.) I had a quick question about it. How do I change the weather to the MMM-Noa . I search around the site , but have not found a “noobie guide” or video guide .
Thanks

How do I change the weather to the MMM-Noa

I suggest you read this first
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/4231/how-to-add-modules-for-absolute-beginners

Do you know how to clone MMM-NOAA3 using your terminal?

[RHAN68]

Mykle1 , Thanks for the link .i twas very helpful . No I did not know how to clone using the terminal …
I am assuming it is the same as in the directions of the link you provided. I followed the direction in the link to add the Jeopardy to the MM & it works great . … So the modules require dependencies &need to install them, in which case you would navigate to the folder of the module that you just installed (via the terminal) . This section I am not very clear on , do you have another link to detail this section out ?

Thank for the help .

https://github.com/cowboysdude/MMM-NOAA has install instructions - then you just delete the section with the “weather” module in it to get rid of it.

I’d also love to install cowboysdud/MMM-NOAA3 inot magic mirror have tried but only thing on screen was “loading …” and nothing ended deleting it and staying with sample one but would love to have the color icons as well as local hourly rain information, just dont know how to do this, yet

@Peter-Leemon

After you cloned the repo did you cd MMM-NOAA3 and then run npm install ? Can you post your config entry for NOAA3 here (in a code block) so I can take a look at it for you? I’ve been using this module for quite some time. It is my favorite weather module (besides my own). I should be able to help you get it up and running.

@Mykle1 yes i did how do i do find and do that thanks?

@Peter-Leemon

In your config.js file. One of the entries you should have made is for MMM-NOAA3. Copy just that entry and paste it here in the topic. The 5th icon from the right above the post window is the code block icon. Looks like this </>. Click it and paste where it tells you.

@Mykle1 }
},
module: ‘MMM-NOAA3’,
position: ‘top_right’,
config: {
provider: “Darksky”, // From list above
apiKey: “XXXXXXXX”, // From one of the providers listed above
airKey: “XXXXXXXXX”,
css: “NOAA3”, // THIS MUST CONTAIN A CSS STYLE NAME
userlat: “-XXXXX”, //MUST HAVE BOTH
userlon: “XXXXXXX” //MUST HAVE BOTH
}
},

at this point its not loading at all its coming up with the “Create a config file” screen

@Peter-Leemon

Your entry MUST start with an open curly bracket { Yours does not.

My “darksky” is all lower case.

Verify your api keys and userlat and userlng

I suggest you use my entry, or alter yours to mimic mine (exactly) and enter your keys and location

{
            disabled: false,
            module: 'MMM-NOAA3',
            position: 'top right',
            config: {
                provider: "darksky",
                apiKey: "YOUR apiKey",
                airKey: "YOUR airKey", // IF you want Air Quality Index
                css: "NOAA5",
                userlat: "42.xxx",
                userlon: "-72.xxx"
            }
        },

[Peter Leemon]

Awesome that got it working thanks heaps can the module also display hourly or daily rainfall as well?

[Mykle1]

@Peter-Leemon

I just verified. The module fails if the provider Darksky is a capital. It must be lower case

@Peter-Leemon

I don’t know. You would have to check the documentation at the repo.
