MMM-OpenWeatherForecast - Replacement for MMM-DarkSkyForecast

How can I turn off weather alerts? Unfortunately I can’t find a solution for this anywhere

[sdetweil]

@Trashbln there is no feature to do that, but you could add it pretty easily

add a new property to the defaults section

showAlerts: true,

then later around line 350
you need the alerts field for the return following

   var alerts = [];
   if(this.config.showAlerts){
      if (this.weatherData.alerts) {
       // for (alert in this.weatherData.alerts) {
       //   alert.description.replace("\n", "<br />");
       // }

       alerts = this.weatherData.alerts;
     }
}

in your config.js for this module config:{} section add

      showAlerts: false

@sdetweil easier fix in css:

/* Disable alerts */
.MMM-OpenWeatherForecast .weather-alert .weather-alert-description,
.MMM-OpenWeatherForecast .weather-alert .weather-alert-source {
	display: none;
}

Just updated my module to use the v3.0 API, but getting the following error:

[ERROR] [MMM-OpenWeatherForecast] 30-Sep-24 20:15 ** ERROR ** ReferenceError: fetch is not defined

Any idea why that is? When I copy/paste the URL into the browser, I get a response.

@kasperb what version of nodejs are you using?

what does the following command say:

nodejs -v

The module was recently changed to use a nodejs internal method to get the data, but your nodejs might be outdated.

Thanks for the heads-up on MMM-OpenWeatherForecast as a replacement for MMM-DarkSkyForecast! I’m interested to see how it compares in terms of accuracy and features—has anyone tried it out yet?

@MarcLandis Thanks… I was running a very old version of Raspian and wasn’t able to update Node. Setting up a new version now :-)
