add maybe to custom.css

.MMM Rain-Map {
opacity: 0 //0 to 1
}

Thank you,

.MMM-RAIN-MAP {
   opacity: 0.7;
}

in the custom.css works very well.

Hi, is there only weather history on openstreetmap or is it possible to see two hours forecast?

Jalibu

@Stoffbeuteluwe Unfortunately the data provider only provides a weather history and no forecast :-/

Hello everyone,

does the module still work for all of you? I’m facing loading problems for about 2 days now, but I haven’t had the time to take a closer look at the cause yet.

Please give me feedback.

@Jalibu same here with module mmm pages…but the module is running alone…So, with mmm pages, take this module in first page…waiting a solution

Fozi

@Jalibu the module is still running fine. No problems whatsoever.

How do I center the map in the middle of a region? The header is centered, but not the map. (not referring to the marker within the map, but the map itself)

^^^ works by adding:

		app.style.margin = "0 auto";

at line 91 of util.js.

Hello,
How do I display two maps with different zooms?
In config.js I encoded the module twice: “MMM-RAIN-MAP” with different zooms.
Only the first is displayed
For the second I only see the clock!
:winking_face:

@doudy this doesn‘t work at the moment. If you open an issue on github for that, I can try to add it.

You can try this in the meantime:

@mykle1
I tried your solution with MMM-RAIN-MAP

MMM-RAIN-MAP alone -> it works
MMM-RAIN-MAP2 alone -> it works
MMM-RAIN-MAP + MMM-RAIN-MAP2 -> it doesn’t work completly

Only the one is displayed (MMM-RAIN-MAP)
Only clock is displayed from ( MMM-RAIN-MAP2)

@Jalibu Hello, the module is very good but it only shows the time that has already passed and not the time that is yet to come…
can I change that is showing the next 2 hours

With windy is it not possible to display the rain forecast?
History is less important for me!

Jalibu

I think multiple instances don’t work due to duplicate element IDs.
I’ll fix that some day ;-)

Hi guys,
Thanks for this module,

I have a little problem regarding the update time,
Basically the forecast are 2h old, it means it’s showing what happen and not what will happen,
Right now it’s 11:27 and it’s showing data from 9:20 to 11:20, i want it to show from 11:30 to 13:30

How do you put the forecast to update for the next 2h?

Also, is there any chance to add more fluidity (or fps) to the animation? For exemple the app raintoday (ios) does this perfectly. I’m not sure if we can get there API.

Thanks!

Well, MMM-RAIN_MAP is based on the FREE Rainviewer API, which allows the use the radar data of the past.

How do you put the forecast to update for the next 2h?

Forecast is a central feature of RainViewers business model. The forecast function of RainViewer requires for the iOS-app (certainly for the Android app, too) a paid subscription. Thus, I strongly doubt, that someone can use a paid function for free via their API. If I read their basic API information correctly, you don’t even get as a patron or gold member of the paid API, the forecast calculations.

Also, is there any chance to add more fluidity (or fps) to the animation? For exemple the app raintoday (ios) does this perfectly. I’m not sure if we can get there API.

The API provides a radar snap shot every 10 minutes- Thus, you’ll meed to interpolate the precipitation images (intensity, direction, accuracy, etc.) which is not a trivial task and needs -depending on the used method and number of interpolations- quite some computational resources. which might not be available on an RPi.

@fozi but but but…can’t you just make it do what someone else wants? LOL

My answer is the same… fork the module and make all the changes you want ;)

Jalibu

thank you @matefits71 for your ideas and feedback and thank you @Fozi for your excellent answer about the reasons for all of the current limitations.

I am also not very satisfied with this module and already tried to refactor it with the windy.com API. First results looked okay but I wasn‘t able to get it to a stable state that did not hang up after a few hours on the Raspi due to its high resource consumption.

I am very open for any kind of contribution or ideas here and still think about a second try on the windy refactoring.

By now, unfortunately this module is still the best of its kind :-/
