      @sdetweil I think I actually managed to implement it—so now snow falls whenever “Current conditions” report any of the various “snow” messages.

      I renamed the module and uploaded it as a standalone: “MMM-DynamicSnow”

      👉 https://github.com/cgillinger/MMM-DynamicSnow

      It should work with all weather providers. I created a separate dictionary for it, but so far, I’ve only had time to test it with Swedish SMHI. Also not easy to test during this mild winter, but I did finally manage to find a place where it snowed up north here in Sweden.

        And here are the precipitation words used by the different providers:

        openMeteo showers, Rain, Snow, Showers, sleet, drizzle, precipitation, hail, rain, Precipitation, snow
        overrideWrapper
        pirateWeather rain, sleet, snow
        smhi showers, Rain, Snow, sleet, Drizzle, precipitation, rain, drizzle, snow
        ukMetOffice showers, sleet, hail, rain, snow
        ukMetOfficeDataHub showers, sleet, hail, rain, Precipitation, snow
        weatherBit rain, sleet, snow
        weatherFlow snow
        weatherGov showers, Snow, Rain, Showers, Drizzle, precipitation, rain, snow
        yr rain, sleet, precipitation, snow

        I did notice a lot of just plain “precipitation” and one future fix might be combining a broadcast of “precipitation” and negative degrees centigrades, as that would also indicate snow.

        Also thinking of adding rain functionality, after testing the module more.

            Hello,
            that’s a wonderful idea, to combine the two.
            And then add “sunshine”, “clouds” (for overcast).
            Great. Thanks, keep it up…

                Hey @Sebi76-0! I’m not sure what’s causing the issue. Could you share any error messages you’re seeing? Also, which version are you using?

                Just so you know, this module has gone through a couple of transformations—first evolving into Dynamic Snow (available at: https://github.com/cgillinger/MMM-DynamicSnow), and later into Weather Effects (which you can find here: https://github.com/cgillinger/MMM-WeatherEffects).

                I don’t personally use OpenWeather, and from what I understand, they now require a credit card for access. So, I don’t think I’ll be getting an API key anytime soon.

                    @sdetweil Yes, I understand, but it’s not the cost itself that’s the issue (although it would have been a problem if there was a cost). The concern is having to provide my credit card details. It’s not that I distrust OpenWeather, but I prefer not to share them unnecessarily. You never know, for example, if they might get hacked.
