<![CDATA[MMM-forecast-io migration to OpenWeatherMap from DarkSky]]>I’ve just updated my fork of MMM-forecast-io

DarkSky, the source of data for this module is shutting down! Dark Sky API will end on March 31st, 2023 as per: https://blog.darksky.net/

I’ve looked around, and OpenWeather seems to be the easiest alternative. I’ve ported my fork to the new data source. Bug reports welcome, but seems to be running well so far.

The screen and display are essentially the same, only the data source has changed.

Enjoy - and feel free to steal my code changes to update other forks!

Units set via the config file.

  • ‘imperial’ for Fahrenheit temp and MPH wind
  • ‘metric’ for Celsius temp and Meters Per Second wind

Graph now should scale appropriately when using non-default widths.

This one should be stable.

The community really needs multiple weather sources - not a fan of being limited to just one resource!

Did you consider the successor to DarkSky, WeatherKit ? I have not yet checked it out and it is currently in Beta. I am happy with OpenWeather, just curious about WeatherKit.

The overall data format is very close to the same, making migration easier.
