New module: Weather effects
-
I dont think PM2 shows module-specific broadcasts unless explicitly logged, but Im no expert. Maybe @sdetweil knows?
To test it I just bascially found locations with rain or snow, and set that in config.js.
-
@cgillinger correct. notifications are not logged
1 they are in browser
2 if the sending or receiving module does not console.log() a message there is nothing to seeyou can install MMM-Logging which will capture the browser console and merge it with the npm start output
or install MMM-Notifications which will display them in a window on the MagicMirror screen
-
@cgillinger Very cool well done
-
@cgillinger duh, why didn’t I think of setting to a city where it rains LOL. I picked a random rainy city and presto, it works! Tnx again for this module.
@sdetweil thanks. I installed the MMM-Logging and checked the npm start console for any hint of notifications coming through but I can’t see anything related to notifications being broadcasted. I am probably missing something obvious again :(
And I can’t seem to find the MMM-Notifications location. Do you perhaps have a link to it?
I did thind this one but it doesn’t show anything https://github.com/glitch452/MMM-ViewNotifications -

And I just want to add here that I’m running it on a Raspberry Pi with a 7-inch screen, so there’s not much screen space to work with. I don’t have room for the weather module with the ‘current’ option as well. However, after testing, it seems to work perfectly fine to keep the module ‘hidden’ by simply omitting a location in the config.js file
I’m considering making the rain direction controlled by the wind direction from the Weather module. If it’s possible, it would look pretty neat.

@cgillinger yes, commenting out the psosition still allows the module to work in the background…
also do this for calendar with Ext3 family of modules -

yes, if they don’t print a console message then its not in the the log for logging to forward…

@sdetweil said in New module: Weather effects:
@uros76 yes, it was https://github.com/glitch452/MMM-ViewNotifications
it shows for me
Well that’s interesting. I will keep trying to get this one to work. Not sure why it’s refusing to workfor me
-
On my test MM install the weather effects work. This confirms the module is getting the notification broadcast from wethaer after all.
But the viewnotifications module doesn’t come up. I will keep it running for a bit longer to see if notifications show up. Even the newsfeed notifications should come up I think…
It’s not the end of the world, I am just digging into why I can’t see notifications :)
