MMM-OpenWeatherForecast - Replacement for MMM-DarkSkyForecast
-
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) -
@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.

@0m4r Still troubleshooting this. I don’t see this happening when I use my own long/lat. Will try with yours, but I will need to wait until it ticks past 12:00pm your time. (I’m in London, so will need to check later this evening).
One thing I did notice, though… the long lat you have in your config is for Shanghai, China, not Kansas City. You forgot the “minus” sign in front of the longitude property. Maybe that fixes it?

@j-e-f-f I think that is the problem. I’ll keep you posted
-
@0m4r Yes indeed!
@motdog the more I think about it, it makes sense that the issue you’re seeing is a result of the missing minus sign in your longitude. Essentially, you’re shifting what you’re expecting by exactly 12 hours, meaning that when it’s noon in Kansas city, it’s midnight in Shanghai, hence moving to the next day, and explains why your dailies are shifting by one after 12:00 pm for you.

@j-e-f-f did you see my previous post is that at all doable?
-
@j-e-f-f yep the website where i got the coordinates was wrong. Every other one had the minus sign. Thanks for the extra eyes.
