Hi, I love that module but I thought that is beyond on default compliment module.

I want to use that module to alert weather warns to clients working with current default weather module

Also I have .svg icon set for each situation. The only thing I want to show image and text depending on current weather.

For ınstance if it is rainy , the module will show image + rainy text

How can achieve this ?

I see these code , but unable to undesrtand who is sending notification.

notificationReceived: function(notification, payload, sender) { if (notification === “Weather data”) { this.setCurrentWeatherType(payload.data); } },

How can I connect the Compliments Module with the Weather Module for weather-controlled display of compliments?
I know there’s a line currentWeatherType: ""in compliments.js but I don’t know what I have to insert in there.

@hango the answer to your question in the issue

I see these code , but unable to undesrtand who is sending notification.

notificationReceived: function(notification, payload, sender) { if (notification === "Weather data") { this.setCurrentWeatherType(payload.data); } },

any module can send this notification. IF the weather module RECEIVES this notification, it expects an object in the payload with an element called ‘data’

{ data:some-value}

where I guess some_value would be the compliments tags, ‘sunny’, … etc

Guys, thanks for assisting me but I think the problem in my weather.js, because I guess it is not sending any notification to client side.

love that module, but unable to find node_helper.js inside of default/weather directory.

I would like to send notification to client side into this compliment in order to listen and put appropriate text for current weather.

this compliment module have this

notificationReceived: function(notification, payload, sender) {
if (notification === “CURRENTWEATHER_DATA”) {
console.log(“251”, payload.data);
this.setCurrentWeatherType(payload.data);
}

But I dont get how to send data from my weather module.

Sorry for mixed up

@emrah_asl don’t need node_helper, and can’t use node_helper. it can only handle socketNotifcations

this.sendNotification(type, data)
from modulename.js

Hi, thanks for assisting me.

The problem is I’M not using original weather module, so unable to send notification .

I’m using this one :

https://github.com/MatthiPi/MMM-DefaultWeatherAnimated

{
module: "weather", //change to weather
position: "top_right",
config: {
// See 'Configuration options' for more information.
type: 'current',
weatherEndpoint: '/weather',
units: 'metric',
apiKey: 'X',
locationID: Y
}
},

But unable to figure out how to send notification to current weather objects into this compliment_modules.

(where should I write , this code in this module ?) when I try in provider.js, console says "sender should be module"

this.sendNotification("CURRENTWEATHER_DATA", {foo: "bar"});

MY COMPLIMENT_PLUS Modul compliment_plus.js

notificationReceived: function(notification, payload, sender) {
if (notification === "CURRENTWEATHER_DATA") {
console.log("251", payload.data);
this.setCurrentWeatherType(payload.data);
}
},
