MMM-OpenWeatherForecast - Replacement for MMM-DarkSkyForecast

@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.

@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.

@swvalenti I’ve made a modification that now truncates alerts to no more than 3 lines of description. This is controlled with CSS so if you’ve like to adjust this for more or less lines, you can do so in your custom CSS file as follows:

.MMM-OpenWeatherForecast .weather-alert .weather-alert-description {
  -webkit-line-clamp: 3; /* adjust this as desired */
}

do a git pull in your installed MMM-OpenWeatherForecast directory to get the latest code.

@j-e-f-f Thx a lot! Its working now as expected.

swvalenti

@j-e-f-f thanks bro!

Hello,

It is somehow possible to show the unit of measurement for the temperature (in my case, “C” for Celsius) ?

Thank you.

swvalenti

@j-e-f-f Last thing is it possible to just get the red to display and nothing else? Yea that’s right it’s FN 69 out here in NJ!

concerning the duplicate weather alerts and mix up between german and english I got an answer from openweathermap.org:

Currently we receive data in such format from the provider. The development team is working on the new version of alerts, which should eliminate such behavior.
