Absolutely the best weather module out there. Hands down.
As someone who went to school for meteorology, weather runs deep in my veins. I know that we are already able to grab alerts from Wundergound, but is there a way to take those alerts further? I’m not sure if this would be an entirely new module, or just an additional feature.
The National Weather Service already sends out XML/RSS feeds all the way down to the county level. If there was a way to “watch” that feed and check for specific alerts, then make that show up on the mirror in red lettering (or something eye-catching) with an icon to go with it (thunderstorm, tornado, etc). Perhaps even scroll in a crawl like on TV news stations. Those XML files also contains specific parts. Title (Tornado Warning), description (Tornado Warning for Jefferson County until 9:45pm), and also narrative and preparedness statement. Finally, each XML file includes an expiration time.
I know that would take a lot of work, but it’s just something cool that could lead to more and more implementation over the long run. National Weather Service XML - Jefferson Co., KY -
@c502 Thanks!
The initial xml doesn’t hold all the info:
This atom/xml feed is an index to active advisories, watches and warnings issued by the National Weather Service. This index file is not the complete Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) alert message. To obtain the complete CAP alert, please follow the links for each entry in this index. Also note the CAP message uses a style sheet to convey the information in a human readable format. Please view the source of the CAP message to see the complete data set. Not all information in the CAP message is contained in this index of active alerts.You’ll have to follow the links in the initial xml message to get the full info. You could probably use the newsfeed module as an initial startingpoint…

Hi RedNax,
Love your module and am using it ever since I have my mirror. One small thing though: WUnderground currently has two identical alerts (both “type”: “WIN”) for my PWS. This leads to the identical text being shown on the module. It would be great if the module checked whether an alert with the respective type already exists and only displays the warning once… The relevant extract from WUnderground json is as follows:// "alerts": [ { "type": "WND", "wtype_meteoalarm": "1", "wtype_meteoalarm_name": "Wind", "level_meteoalarm": "2", "level_meteoalarm_name": "Yellow", "level_meteoalarm_description": "The weather is potentially dangerous. The weather phenomena that have been forecast are not unusual, but be attentive if you intend to practice activities exposed to meteorological risks. Keep informed about the expected meteorological conditions and do not take any avoidable risk.", "description": "Potential disruption due to wind from 5:22PM CET SAT until 11:59PM CET SAT", "date": "2017-02-25 17:24:18 GMT", "date_epoch": "NA", "expires": "2017-02-25 22:59:00 GMT", "expires_epoch": "NA", "message": "Potential disruption due to wind from 5:22PM CET SAT until 11:59PM CET SAT)", "phenomena": "NA", "significance": "NA", "attribution": "Information provided by , <a href="http://meteoalarm.eu/">EUMETNET - MeteoAlarm</a> Note: Time delays between this website and <a href="http://meteoalarm.eu/">Meteoalarm.eu</a> are possible.

@RedNax is it possible to disable these weatherwarnings?
-
@ostfilinchen try config option
show_popup: false -
@strawberry-3.141 i don’t mean an popup. I mean the weatherwarnings in the module
-
@ostfilinchen the alerttext gets prepended to the forecasttext in this if statement https://github.com/RedNax67/MMM-WunderGround/blob/master/MMM-WunderGround.js#L912 you can only disable the forecasttext in complete but not the alert only. For this you have to try to get a working css selector and apply the rule
display:none; -
The yellow warning “strong wind” shows the whole time. How can i disable this warning?
-
@trividar Same thing Here but with 3 Warnings
-
@ostfilinchen And you’re certain the warning isn’t present in the wunderground payload?
Mine shows three because the payload has three warnings:
"alerts": [ { "type": "WND", "wtype_meteoalarm": "1", "wtype_meteoalarm_name": "Wind", "level_meteoalarm": "2", "level_meteoalarm_name": "Yellow", "level_meteoalarm_description": "The weather is potentially dangerous.

@RedNax I don’t know, But the dwd warningmodule doesn’t Show any warnings. And btw the warnings are since friday there
-
@ostfilinchen Could you have at the wunderground payload? It’s present in your logs/console…
-
@RedNax I check this in the evening. Now I have no Mirror here at work.
-
@RedNax How can I see this logs? I just know pm2 logs, but there is nothing…
-
@ostfilinchen There appears to be an issue at weather underground. Just noticed that all but one warnings have expired already. Usually they wouldn’t be present in the api payload when expired. I’ll have to start checking for expiration in the code…
Update: new version now checks alert expiration
-
I installed your module some days ago and I really like it. The only thing I don’t like is its verboseness in both the browsers log (module) and the console (node_helper). I commented out most of the Log.info() lines, which of course will bring some trouble once you release an update.
Maybe you could add a config option “quiet” (or something similar) for guys like me who like to keep logs clean? :innocent: -
Has anyone ran into an issue with the wind speeds? The wind speeds shown in the forecast do not match that of the forecast on the Wunderground site. The wind speed displayed is always higher than the real forecast found on the main site. It has been as much as 20mph over the forecasted speed.
Ex: The forecast tomorrow calls for wind of 20mph on the module while the Wunderground site has 13mph.
I am using the rounded numbers to round off the temperature (have had no issues there).
It’s not a huge deal, however just one of those annoying little things.
-
@c502 maybe a unit problem? 13mp/h ~ 20km/h
-
@strawberry-3.141 I’ve checked that also. Everything appears to be in order.
-
Noob issue here. How do I update the program? I get an alert saying to update wunderground, but I don’t know how to do that!
