      So DarkSky, and its weather API will be shutting down on 1/1/2023. Expect a large number of weather modules to break and stop updating.

      There are a number of alternative weather modules out here. I have one, lots of folks have been hard at work updating others. Please be ready to direct folks coming to the forums with broken modules issues to the right answer.

          Just learned that apps using DarkSky end on 1/1/23, but the API is actually on until March 31, 2023

          https://blog.darksky.net/

          So I’m about 3 months early…

                Does anyone know of another module that displays radar?
                TIA

                  @01ZerosOnes01 It doesn’t look as nice as the screenshot on the MMM-DarkSkyRadar github, but I’ve been using MMM-RAIN-MAP, and it’s been working well.

                  Current screenshot:

                    @mattkab Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll give it a try.

                      @FlatPepsi - To be fair, DarkSky has been pushing that date back every so often. I think originally it was going to terminate on 1 December 2022.

                        Found an article that there is a developer who is providing a replacement api for darksky which is called Pirate Weather.
                        If i read correctly it should be a plugin-in replacement for Darksky and only the URLs in the modules need to be changed as the same data structures are used.
                        As i do not use any Darksky modules i did not test it but i found it interesting and it might be worth looking at it.
