MMM-OpenWeatherForecast - Replacement for MMM-DarkSkyForecast

[Trashbln]

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The module was recently changed to use a nodejs internal method to get the data, but your nodejs might be outdated.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

@jimjones darksky has been dead for a number of years now.

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

Today when I started up the system I got this wall of text instead of my usual weather info + icons. Any idea why and how so solve? :)

[sdetweil]

@fillilutten looks like the weather service got a really verbose description for the weather details
And the module didn’t anticipate that

I’d open an issue on the GitHub repo for that module.
In the module folder do

git remote -v

That will give you the url of the repo.

Someone has to fix the code

@fillilutten

I agree with Sam.
That looks like a weather warning to me. They are quite rare, and the scenario might never have occurred during the module’s development…
