MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast Doesn't display imperial units

rslohs

Hello,

Working on OpenWeatherMapForecast and so far have really liked it. One issue, for predicted precipitation I cannot get imperial units to show. I’ve tried changing it within config.js as well as the config file in the module as well. Any suggestions?

{
module: “MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast”,
header: “Weather”,
position: “bottom_right”,
classes: “default everyone”,
disabled: false,
config: {
apikey: “KEY”,
latitude: “444444”,
longitude: “-4444444”,
iconset: “4c”,
concise: false,
forecastLayout: “table”,
units: “imperial”,
}
},

@rslohs the doc says the module config options is units

from

@sdetweil I’m not quite sure what you’re saying. The ‘Units:“imperial”,’ is incorrect in the code I shared? What should I try differently?

Just a thought: At the top of your config.js file, what are your config units set to?

Example:

var config = {
    address: "0.0.0.0",
    port: 8080,
    ipWhitelist: [], // Set [] to allow all IP addresses
    language: "en",
    timeFormat: 12,
    units: "imperial",

@mykle1 thanks for the suggestion, but that is set to imperial as well.

@rslohs its not “Units”, its “units”

this system is case sensitive, every letter matters

@sdetweil that’s what I’m using in the config file.

{
module: "MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast",
header: "Schoolcraft, MI Weather",
position: "top_right",
classes: "default everyone",
disabled: false,
config: {
apikey: "aaaaaaaa",
latitude: "aaaaaaa",
longitude: "aaaaaa",
iconset: "4c",
concise: false,
forecastLayout: "table",
units: "imperial",
}
},

A little late to weigh in but I can verify that imperial setting does not affect the Pop amount. It remains metric. Everything else is imperial.

Sorry.

Guess what? I was trying to troubleshoot an issue in this module re: scale and noticed the .js file has changed wind calculations and the following…

units: {
accumulationRain: {
imperial: “mm”,
metric: “mm”,
“”: “mm”
},
accumulationSnow: {
imperial: “mm”,
metric: “mm”,
“”: “mm”
},
windSpeed: {
imperial: “mph”,
metric: “m/s”,
“”: “m/s”
}
},

So it looks like imperial might work for you now. I’m not going to test because I need the older .js which I had to modify to get some calculations in kph to work .

Cheers
