MMM-NOAA3 4day forcast doesn't display

JohnGalt

Two issues with module installation:
[1] The 4 day forecast icons do not display. A prior response to a user with this issue suggested the fix would be to ensure all the images are in the images folder. The forecast for each of the next several days is mostly sunny, so I have verified the relevant image for ‘mostlysunny.png’ is in the images folder. I also tried deleting and reinstalling the entire module, and also ensuring this module is not inadvertently addressed in my custom.css file. No change…

I’m not sure I should include the following in this post or create a separate post, as it feels like a separate installation issue. As such, if a moderator sees fit to separate them - that’s fine.

[2] The AQI value displays as ‘undefined’, which I suspect is an API issue. I do have an API from airvisual - but my notes tell me it expired a few months ago. I went to the airvisual site to renew the API key. The site does show the key identifier and shows it to be expired, but the site does not appear to support renewing a key after the initial one year period. Is a free user just out of luck after one year?

@JohnGalt please prove openmapweather

@monark - I’m unsure what you mean by prove openmapweather. Following is the relevant code from my config.js, as well as a screenshot of the result.

0 { module: 'MMM-NOAA3',
191    position: 'top_right',
192    config: {
193        provider: "openweather", // From list
194        apiKey: "xxxxxxx",        // From one of the providers listed above
195        airKey: "yyyyyyyyyy",
196        css: "NOAA3",                   // THIS MUST CONTAIN A CSS STYLE NAME
197        userlat: "36.xxx", //MUST HAVE BOTH
198        userlon: "-115.yyy"  //MUST HAVE BOTH
199 }
 },

@JohnGalt Weird. I am using weatherbit as the provider and mine is displaying fine. It could be that openweather data format has changed?

mumblebaj

@JohnGalt It seems like the v2.5 of the API only returns the current days data and not multiple days hence the 4 day forecast is empty.

JohnGalt

@mumblebaj - Thanks for that. I changed the provider to weatherbit and now do have the 4-day forecast. I guess the developers will need to update the module if they want people to continue to use openweather…

As regards the AQI reporting ‘undefined’ [likely because the AirKEY expires after one year] - Does anyone know whether one is just allowed a single year AirKey, and then no more use?

@JohnGalt It is hard to keep up with the changing API’s. One only find out that it has changed when it breaks. Just way of the world that is.

You should be able to renew the Airkey if it has expired.

JohnGalt

@mumblebaj – Yes, I would have thought I would be able to renew the key. I just checked again and do not see any way to renew, so I put in a service request at the site… Below is what I see on my personal dashboard. Note there is no way to renew. The ‘edit’ button only allows one to edit the name of the key…

@JohnGalt Well, looks like it is still Active.
