MMM-WeatherGraph - new module using OpenWeatherMap

https://github.com/FlatPepsi17/MMM-WeatherGraph

I have a new weather module with current conditions, rain graph for 48 hours, and a 7 day forecast list.

Sample screenshots showing different configurations:

Basic setup, showing rain & snow:

Metric options, and a 24hr precip graph:

Love data? Turn everything on to see temp, wind speed, humidity, and cloud cover.

Prefer something minimal? Turn off any feature you want.

This module started as a fork of ‘MMM-forecast.io’ by dmcinnes (https://github.com/dmcinnes/MMM-forecast-io), adding many new features and moving to a new data source since DarkSky discontinued API access. (Thanks Apple- so nice of you.)

@FlatPepsi very nice

[sdetweil]

@FlatPepsi can u have multiple instances loaded w different configs?

[FlatPepsi]

@sdetweil
Good question. I haven’t tried it- but I’d imagine it would work. Biggest thing to watch is hitting the API’s limit for pulling forecast data, so turn that down accordingly.

[sdetweil]

@FlatPepsi yeh. API limits are a pain…

but you have to code for multiple instances

Im new and just setting up my first MM and found your module. I get accurate info with the stock module, but get a constant Loading Weather when I have your module in place. Any thoughts as to why it is not loading?

[JoeFranz]

Same here, still loading…

[sdetweil]

@nixdg @JoeFranz ‘Loading…’, is the default message put up while waiting for data…
in my opinon, modules SHOULD (but don’t) report errors to the user instead of leaving the Loading… message up

so, the data api calls have failed for some reason…

this module does all its work in the browser so, lets look in the developer window console for any clues

ctrl-shift-i,
select the console tab
and put some unique part of the module name in the filter field
weatherg

and report what you see

[JoeFranz]

Nothing changed and now it works :-)
Maybe it took a while for the API key to work

Thanks

[sdetweil]

@JoeFranz there are call limits… 100 /day I think…

@FlatPepsi So I finally added an option I wanted, but never got around to doing. I originally wanted this module to let me know if I needed to get up early and shovel the driveway… which means I want daily precipitation totals handy.

Now it’s available as an option!

The latest code can be found on GitHub. Let me know if you find any bugs. Precipitation totals use inches or mm/cm, following the existing Imperial/Metric setting.

Enjoy!

@FlatPepsi very cool!

Pushed out a fix today…

Most weather sources give snow in the liquid equivalent, thus you need to multiply by 10 for snow.

Turns out OpenWeather does this math for us, and I was over estimating the snow by a factor of 10. Today I’m expecting 1.6" of snow & ice, module was saying 16" - prompting today’s fix!

Fixed.

Hi, great module. Is it possible to change the white between temperatures to f.e. “/” ?

also is it possible to add “C” to temperature ? so it will show °C

I’m getting an error, could not load datan TypeError: forecast is not iterable.
Do you know what might be wrong?
I checked and the API key is valid
