MMM-EnvCanada stopped working ...
-
@ray_mtl there is an issue open. looks like envcanada has changed their api significantly
-
@sdetweil said in MMM-EnvCanada stopped working ...:
@sankum we have a provider in weather, does it work ?
It does not, MMM-Weather using Environment Canada does nor work either, it’s not the first time Environment Canada messes up with the modules

@sdetweil said in MMM-EnvCanada stopped working ...:
e is an issue open. look
A note aside, Home Assistant is working without issues
-
@luisestrada so someone there got the change notice
-
@sdetweil
I also have a problem with envcanada’s weather data . The MM weather app goes out to get info, but the screen says ‘ loading’, and stays hung there. -
@sunsetrider yes envcanada is broken. The API changed significantly, there is an issiue open in both places MagicMirror module and MMM-EnvCanada
-
@sdetweil thanks!! I have left the forecast module Running the see if it get fixed or if the module get updated. Really appreciate!
-
@ray_mtl there is a big change required, currently no one has picked up the issue
This was a user submitted contribution, so we will see
The new data model is very complex -
@sdetweil it is a big change. I have just moved, so I don’t know when I will have time to work on this. I am hoping somebody fixes the provider for the default module and then I can piggy back on their work

I’m the original author of the envcanada Provider for the default Weather module. Environment Canada has made a significant change to their API and, for some reason, I never saw the notification they sent out a few months ago (I was supposedly on their mailing list). I’ve only taken a very brief look at their changes, so take my assessment with a small grain of salt:
The change has made it impractical to continue fetching an XML document for whatever location has been configured for weather info. They are, instead, pushing clients to a completely different API that is much more complex to use. The API is basically a pub/sub scheme that is based on the AMPQ protocol. How it all works and whether it will play nice within the MagicMirror ecosystem is still very much TBD.
Based on what I see, the envcanada Provider and MMM-EnvCanada will pretty much require total rewrites. I can continue poking at this but to be fully transparent, it will be a couple of months before I can give this any significant focused effort.
