MMM-OpenWeatherForecast - Replacement for MMM-DarkSkyForecast

pwalsh2202

I’m looking to see if I can get just a truncated text-based description of the upcoming weather.

When I search for a location on the openweathermap.org site, I do see the site gathers this data “Heavy intensity rain. Moderate breeze. The high will be 68°F, the low will be 50°F.”, which is exactly what I’m looking to display on my mirror, but I don’t see how this might be communicated via the API.

On OWM’s page, I don’t even see this data provided in the sample API calls provided. Is there a way for your module to provide this data or does this require one of the paid APIs? Thank you for all of the effort you’ve put into this.

So I am working on two mirrors. The first set up this module with no problem I created a new api key for the second mirror and when the forecast shows, its missing a day. Today is Friday but when I use this config, the first date showing up in the forecast is Sunday. Makes no sense.

Help please

	{
			  module: "MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast",
			  header: "Kansas City Weather",
			  position: "top_right",
			  classes: "default everyone",
			  disabled: false,
			  config: {
			    apikey: "xxxxxxxxxxx",
			    latitude: "39.0997",
			    longitude: "94.5786",      
			    iconset: "5c",
		            concise: false,
			    maxDailiesToShow: 5,
			    showHourlyForecast: false,
			    forecastLayout: "table"
  }
},

@j-e-f-f here is my config and see the picture, I would like to only see the alert in red and the first line “elevated risk of wildfire”. That doable? Sorry for all the questions on this I’m trying to work the problem.

.MMM-OpenWeatherForecast .weather-alert .weather-alert-description {
    display: 1;
},
.MMM-OpenWeatherForecast .weather-alert .weather-alert-source {
    display: none;
},
.MMM-OpenWeatherForecast .weather-alert .weather-alert-description {
  -webkit-line-clamp: 2; /* adjust this as desired */
}

I am finding a weird quirk. For the future forecast days once noon local time hits, the next day forecast disappears

Today it showed Friday as a forecast day, after noon hit the next 3 days shown in forecast are sat, sun & Mon.

My config is posted above

@motdog let me look into this. My code assumes the first daily forecast is “today” and starts with the second one in the collection. It’s possible this is something the API does and I just hadn’t noticed before. It would make sense because I’ve typically worked on this module during the morning. Will test later.

@j-e-f-f can it be a timezone issue?
are the APIs expecting time in UTC? Moment does operates on user timezone (or browser timezone in this case)

j.e.f.f

@0m4r If it is then it’s a bug in the API. The API is supposed to return all data time shifted to the time zone for the long/lat you specify.

I should know more soon. Running a test right now and just waiting for the clock to tick past noon.
