MMM-OpenWeatherForecast - Replacement for MMM-DarkSkyForecast

Nice Module.

But i dont get the german time format (24H) not working. And do you have any idea how to have the germany translation of the warnings?

Here is my config:

		{
		module: "MMM-OpenWeatherForecast",
		position: "top_right",
//		header: "Forecast",
		config: {
			apikey: "myKey", //only string here
			latitude: 53,            //number works here
			longitude: 10,          //so does a string
			language: "de",
			forecastHeaderText: "Wetter Vorhersage für ....",
			iconset: "3c",
			label_timeFormat: "k[h]",
			label_days: ["So", "Mo", "Di", "Mi", "Do", "Fr", "Sa"]
			}
		},

@oberfragger ok. Got sunrise working in german. There was a missing config line:

label_sunriseTimeFormat: "hh:mm",

and also with the time… also a typo (forgot the “hourly”):

label_hourlyTimeFormat: "k[h]",

I edited this to:

label_hourlyTimeFormat: "k[ Uhr]",

Still inspecting the storm warning in german…

Still inspecting the storm warning in german…

same problem here, saw meanwhile some of this warnings in german but mostly in english. Looks like a problem on the provider side, when inspecting the called url in the browser the retrieved data is in english.

So this can’t be solved by the module.

@j-e-f-f Anyway to hide the special weather advisory? Really jacks up my layout, I took a look at config but nothing stood out.
Thanks

@dkhorse74 That’s the main header… hint…

:thumbs_up: Thank You

karsten13

so now i catched the situation where the alerts are in english and in german:

the data is coming directly from openweathermap, here the json-part:

j.e.f.f

@dkhorse74 that’s the main header for the module. Change it like this:

  {
    module: "MMM-OpenWeatherForecast",
    position: "top_right",
    header: "Forecast",  <— here
    config: {
      apikey: "a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8j9k0", //only string here
      latitude: 51.490230,            //number works here
      longitude: "-0.258810"          //so does a string
    }
  },

@shiryu1031 you can’t do that independently on the main units setting. OpenWeather returns mph for imperial, and m/s for standard and metric.

j.e.f.f

@swvalenti yes you can. The weather alerts are part of the summary section. OpenWeather returns such a short summary that I didn’t think it necessary to make two separate configure. Two ways to turn off the alerts:

set summary : false
if you want the summary but not the alerts, you can hide them in your custom css as follows:

.MMM-OpenWeatherForecast .weather-alert {
  display: none;
}

I think I’ll look at a way to truncate weather alerts so they don’t take up so much space.

@karsten13 I don’t think there is much I can do here. I’ve coded this module to explicitly pass through a language parameter, either whatever is set in your main MM config, or whatever you explicitly set in the module’s config. It seems that OpenWeather doesn’t translate the weather alert, but merely passes them on as-is from whatever source it gets them from. Which is why sometimes you’re getting only English, and other times you’re getting multiple translations.

Awesome thanks @j-e-f-f !

Thanks Jeff!!

@j-e-f-f I see, thank you for your help. I thought it can be done because the example picture on Github is in km/h, but for myself, I am only seeing m/s as you mentioned. I guess it can not be change from m/s to km/h?

yes, I’m aware of this. Sent a mail to openweathermap.org and will let you know if I ever get a response …

Did anyone have an idea how to chage the timeformat from sundown?
Now its displayed: 6:20… i want to have 18:20
I already changed the rest.

karsten13

@oberfragger

label_sunriseTimeFormat: "k:mm",

label_sunriseTimeFormat: “k:mm”,

Not working: :(

			iconset: "3c",
			label_hourlyTimeFormat: "k[ Uhr]",
			label_sunriseTimeFormat: "hh:mm",
			label_sunsetTimeFormat: "k:mm",
			label_days: ["So", "Mo", "Di", "Mi", "Do", "Fr", "Sa"]
			}

i also tried:

label_sunsetTimeFormat: "hh:mm",

also not working. The sunset on top is still not in german timeformat.

label_sunsetTimeFormat

there is no property label_sunsetTimeFormat, only label_sunriseTimeFormat, remove the not existing one …

j.e.f.f

@oberfragger

There is only one property that is used for both sunrise and sunset: label_sunriseTimeFormat. In your example above, you’ve specified hh:mm for this property, which displays 12h time, not 24h time.

Change your config from this:

iconset: "3c",
label_hourlyTimeFormat: "k[ Uhr]",
label_sunriseTimeFormat: "hh:mm",
label_sunsetTimeFormat: "k:mm",
label_days: ["So", "Mo", "Di", "Mi", "Do", "Fr", "Sa"]

to this:

iconset: "3c",
label_hourlyTimeFormat: "k[ Uhr]",
label_sunriseTimeFormat: "k:mm",  // change the format for this one 
label_days: ["So", "Mo", "Di", "Mi", "Do", "Fr", "Sa"]

@shiryu1031 The screenshots you see in GitHub were incorrect. My old code for Dark Sky was using km/h, and I hadn’t replaced the label with m/s when I took these screen shots. So the screenshots are actually illustrating a bug! The actual speed value shown is m/s, but the label is incorrect as km/h. :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I thought about it, and it would take me just as much time to fix the screen shots as it would to add the capability to convert m/s into km/h. So now there is a new config parameter: displayKmhForWind. If you add this to your config and set it to true, m/s wind speed will be converted and displayed as km/h. This parameter only works when units is set to "metric" or "standard". If you’re using "imperial" you will always see mph.

Do a git pull in your installed MMM-OpenWeatherForecast directory to get the updated code.
