MMM-OpenWeatherForecast - Replacement for MMM-DarkSkyForecast

Biebermann

One question about this, how do you get the weather warnings from the DWD displayed in German? The language is set to German “de” but these messages are displayed in English.

Unfortunately I have not found anything.

P.S. Sorry for my English :confused_face:

I have already gone through the two posts.

But thanks for your answer.

P.S. now I also have the double display since today. Let’s wait and see if there will be a solution.

@biebermann There isn’t a solution. The alerts come through as-is. There seems to be no logic in place on OpenWeather’s side to return the alerts in the configured language.

@j-e-f-f

Ok, then there is nothing we can do for the time being.
Is that ever fixed?

j.e.f.f

@biebermann it’s something I can’t fix. It’s a problem with OpenWeather’s API. Someone previously mentioned that OpenWeather had acknowledged it was an issue and maybe it will be fixed in the future. But the alerts don’t have a language identifier associated with them so it’s not even like I could filter out the duplicates in the wrong language.

@biebermann A workaround would be to additionally use MMM-DWD-WarnWeather which works pretty well.

Another option could be to run the warning through the google-translate npm module which you could add to the module.

Might be a bit much however.

@j.e.f.f
Don’t stress, if it’s not possible to correct it (yet) then so be it.

@lavolp3
I had the module running, thought since it is in this module here, I could save myself another module.

Is there then the possibility to turn off the severe weather warnings completely?

I used a css “hack” for that

Add to custom.css

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

You can also set showSummary: false in the config but would then lose the whole summary
