Working Weather Underground module?

[Saabman]

OK Ive had a bit of a play with it today and Ive had “some” success.

The sunrise/set is broken the icons are broken no rain data (which doesnt seem to be in the original any way) and no forecast.

But it does give current Temp, Humdity and the wind direction icon works.

I haven’t looked at the forecast stuff yet. Just commented it all out for the moment.

If you want to have a play clone the Develop branch https://github.com/saabman/MMM-WunderGround/tree/Develop

git clone --single-branch --branch Develop https://github.com/saabman/MMM-WunderGround.git

copy the Config from the readme.md and add your PWS and API key and it “should” give you something.

That’s a good beginning :D
At the moment I have to install MM new, because the update failed and the system was stuck.
I will test it when MM ist working again.

[sdetweil]

@c1olli how did u do the update? manually or my upgrade script?

what error did u get?

[c1olli]

I did it like it is written in the MM manual.

git clone && npm install

But I saved the MM folder with all my settings.

[sdetweil]

@c1olli try my upgrade script, from here
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

I think u will need to use force as a parameter, (instead of apply) unless u copy back the saved mm.

u said it was broken… what was the prior results? black screen? won’t start?

[c1olli]

My plan was to install all modules and then copy the config.js back.

[sdetweil]

@c1olli u can install too w my install script

but I think my upgrade script should fix it…

[c1olli]

It’s too late - I’m working for it for a few hours now and I formatted the SD card, new rasbian…
But thanks for help.

[sdetweil]

@c1olli yeh, I don’t install raspian

[c1olli]

eeeeh - that was before you told me about the new way. :(

[sdetweil]

@c1olli sorry!

[c1olli]

no problem the way is a little bit longer, but I will go to finish it.
For the next time I know the new way - hopefully I will not forget it :D

@Saabman Thank you for doing this! When I tried out your version of the module, my MM loads with a blank screen. Actually I ran into this same problem when I tried to modify the modules myself a couple of days ago using the new API documentation that you found.

When I manually try using the API via the URL, it seems to return data (I’ve *** some data for privacy) ie

{"observations":[{"stationID":"***","obsTimeUtc":"2021-01-03T18:43:34Z","obsTimeLocal":"2021-01-03 10:43:34","neighborhood":"***","softwareType":null,"country":"US","solarRadiation":252.0,"lon":-121.763,"realtimeFrequency":null,"epoch":1609699414,"lat":37.32,"uv":0.7,"winddir":22,"humidity":85,"qcStatus":1,"metric":{"temp":12,"heatIndex":12,"dewpt":9,"windChill":12,"windSpeed":0,"windGust":3,"pressure":1024.38,"precipRate":0.00,"precipTotal":0.00,"elev":150}}]}

I cannot see anything in the logs that is helpful :(

@chanster look in the developers window, ctrl-shift-i, select the console tab and scroll up. u can filter messages by module, by putting part of the module name in the filter field, weath here

if the data changed format, then the old code won’t work

[chanster]

@sdetweil Thanks !

I realized what the issue is but I don’t know why it’s happening. I was trying to git clone @Saabman 's fork but it keeps cloning the original MMM-WunderGround for some reason. I’ll manually download @Saabman 's version and try again.

[chanster]

@sdetweil @Saabman

I’m pretty I’m running @Saabman 's fork now but I’m still running into a blank screen when MM loads. Here’s what I can see in the console :

[sdetweil]

@chanster edit the module
translations/en.json

and remove the comments
// …
or

/*… */

comments not allowed in json

[chanster]

@sdetweil Thanks ! That did the trick!

[Saabman]

@sdetweil Thanks for that I had seen the error but it didnt stop the application from running for me so didn’t look further into it.

@chanster I had forked the orignal version and then only modified the Develop branch.

If you just do a git clone you will get the Master branch not the develop branch - Im only learning my way around Github -so I might be doing something wrong as well. But from what I can work out if you use the following command it should get the the develop branch

git clone --single-branch --branch Develop https://github.com/saabman/MMM-WunderGround.git
