Weather based on another provider..

RedNax

If this WeatherUnderground location works for you you could use MMM-WunderGround:

Your config section will look like this:

{
			module : 'MMM-WunderGround',
			position : 'top_right',
			config : {
				apikey : 'xxxxxxxxxxxxx', // private; don't share!
				pws: 'NY/Elmira',
				lang : 'EN',
				hourly : '1',
				fctext : '1',
				fcdaycount : "5",
				fcdaystart : "0",
				hourlyinterval : "3",
				hourlycount : "2",
				alerttime : 10000,
				alerttruncatestring : ""
			}
		}

I would also need the module for this and that I don’t have… I have found one but it’s not working so I’ll have to figure it out…

Thank you!

@cowboysdude Since the default weather forecast and current weather pull from the same place, you can make the same changes as you did on the currentweather module to the forecastweather module and config.js.

Replace your current weatherforecast.js with the one here.
Your currentweather.js should look like the one here.

Don’t forget to edit your config.js to put the locationID in both.

Or just get the new MagicMirror 2.0.2 that was released today. It has those changes incorporated.

I would like to know one more thing… how you get the text forecast on there too

RedNax

@cowboysdude If/when the chosen location provides any they should be displayed as per the pic…

What’s your config?

cowboysdude

@RedNax this is what’s in the config.js [of course I didn’t list my key here]

config: {
            // See 'Configuration options' for more information.
            location: 'NY/Elmira',
            appid: 'xxxxxxxxxxxx' //wunderground.com API key.
        }

I’m thinking this is what you were asking for…

Thank you!
