Weatherunderground - currently - hourly - daily - configurable

[pugsly]

Its been ok since I restarted so I am keeping an eye on it.

On another note, why do some configuration items use " ", some use ’ ’ and others don’t have any quotation marks at all?

I changed all of mine to ’ ’

Thanks @pugsly, I checked that again, only with the following config:

	{
		module: 'MMM-Wunderground',
		position: 'top_right',
		config: {
			apikey: 'XXXXXX',
			pws: 'locid:NLXX8014;loctype:1'
		}
	},	

Result is still a black screen. I can see that error on the console (on my computer):
Cannot GET /modules/MMM-Wunderground//MMM-Wunderground.js

But the file is in the folder. Weird!

[djsunrise19]

Perhaps I found something: The Filename is: MMM-WunderGround.js. Tha app is looking for MMM-Wunderground.js. If I change the filename to MMM-Wunderground.js, the mirror starts, but the Module don’t work.

I only see this:

[djsunrise19]

Any ideas?

[djsunrise19]

I cloned your repo to MMM-WunderGround and edited the module name also. Now it works. You should change your Readme.

Thanks for the cool module ;).

@djsunrise19 Thanks for spotting my mistake :D I’ve modified the readme accordingly. Enjoy!

it’s taking me forever but How do i change pws: ‘locid:’ for san francisco? I cant find the location ID for my city using google

[strawberry 3.141]

Can be any WU api location info.

US Example: NY/New_York
Example: locid:NLXX8014;loctype:1

so just change it to CA/San_Francisco

[MagicCrumps1]

I’m getting a blank screen. Any idea why?

	{
		module: 'MMM-WunderGround',
		position: 'top_right',
		header: 'Weather Forecast',
		config: {
		    apikey: 'a1fa37eaff91b5450c',
		    pws: 'CA/San_Francisco',
		    fctext: '1',
			  fcdaycount: '5',
			  fcdaystart: '0',
			  hourly: '1',
			  hourlyinterval: '3',
				hourlycount: '2',
				alerttime: 1000,
				alerttruncatestring: 'english:'	            
		}
	},

Config looks good, could you have a look at your logs?

@MagicCrumps1 On the other hand, you api key seems to be invalid. (if the key in your post is indeed your key):

{
  "response": {
  "version":"0.1",
  "termsofService":"http://www.wunderground.com/weather/api/d/terms.html",
  "features": {
  }
		,
	"error": {
		"type": "keynotfound"
		,"description": "this key does not exist"
	}
	}

@RedNax Still not working. Sorry, I should have included that I added a few extra keys to my personal api key thus making them invalid.

That looks like everything did load up properly there. There’s a way to look at electron’s console logs but I don’t know what the keystroke is (maybe CTRL-W?). But, at times like this, I find it’s easier/faster for me to debug by using a different machine with Chrome/Firefox and load up the mirror that way by going to the rpi’s IP and port: http://10.0.0.1:8080 (assuming your rpi’s IP is 10.0.0.1, change it to match yours.) Black screen or not, you can always hit F12 on a windows browser and pull up the console log. Look for Javascript errors.

Thanks KirAsh4 and RedNax! I resolved it. What happened was that I entered
location: ‘San Francisco’
locationid: ‘5391959’

on the currentweather module.

I decided to delete the locationid key and left it blank and voila! It works now! You guys rock!

[MagicCrumps1]

@RedNax do you happen to know why my MMM-WunderGround module is not showing the forecast?

[RedNax]

Any errors in the console or the web inspector?

This module is fantastic, thank you. I was wondering about getting weather for multiple areas. Is there a way to do that within the program or would I need to copy the directory to say, MMM-WunderGround2?

[RedNax]

@Shockwave Thanks :) To use the module twice you can just enter multiple wunderground config sections in your config.js. It will then display both. There is no need to install the actual module twice.

@RedNax Hey thanks for the quick response! I have 2 locations up and running and great. Unfortunately I now have another question. :smile: There is a special weather statement for one of my 2 locations, and it popped up an alert which is really cool. However, the popup alert just said, Special Statement, which is just the subject text, for lack of a better description. Is that the expected behavior?

Special Statement
Issued: 1:49 PM EDT Jun. 27, 2016 – National Weather Service

… A strong thunderstorm with intense lightning will impact central
Oconee County until 230 PM EDT…

At 148 PM EDT… Doppler radar was tracking a strong thunderstorm
with intense lightning 5 miles northwest of Walhalla… or near
Oconee State Park… moving southeast at 25 mph.

Locations to be impacted include…
Walhalla… Westminster… Oconee State Park… Lake Keowee and Mountain
Rest.

In addition to intense lightning… pea size hail and wind gusts up to
40 mph will be possible in these areas.
