Working Weather Underground module?

[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.

@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

[sdetweil]

@Saabman see the topic at the top.of troubleshooting about test fixes and develop.
gives instructions

[Saabman]

@sdetweil Thanks Ill look into it.

Just got the module pulling the forecast info into it - only displays it in the console at the moment but its getting there

[sdetweil]

@Saabman funny, one has to READ the message to reply properly…

git clone should get all branches, unless u specifically ask for depth=??1

u can get another branch with git fetch remotename remotebranch_name: localbranch_name
then git checkout localbranch_name should work

[c1olli]

After the new installation of MM, I installed the module and I can see some weather data from my wether station - really good beginning.

@sdetweil Thanks for the fantastic installation script.
