Weatherunderground - currently - hourly - daily - configurable

Shockwave

@RedNax It works! Thanks for fixing that so fast. Now I need to politely bug MichMich about the size of the alert box since our weather service is so verbose. :)

@RedNax

That’s a handy test - Many thanks.
When I request:
http://api.wunderground.com/api/[my key]/conditions/forecast10day/astronomy/alerts/lang:EN/q/pws:IBATTLE3.json

I get a full set of data back.
The module is still getting stuck on ‘Loading’ on the mirror though.
My config is:

{
    module: 'MMM-WunderGround',
    position: 'top_right',
    config:  {
            apikey: '[my key]',
            pws: 'IBATTLE3;loctype:1',
            lang: 'EN',
            fctext: '1',
            fcdaycount: "5",
            fcdaystart: "0",
            hourly: '1',
            hourlyinterval: "3",
            hourlycount: "2",
            alerttime: 10000,
            alerttruncatestring: "english:"
    }
},

Can you see anything wrong there please?

Thank you.

This may explain the issue to you hopefully. I thought I’d given you this info before, but it seems not.

In the console I get an error:
MMM-WunderGround.js:407 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined

The relevant code is:

	processWeather: function(data) {
		this.alerttext = "";
		this.alertmsg = "";
		for (var i = 0, count = data.alerts.length; i < count; i++) {

Any idea why the array would be undefined?

Many thanks.

@Pauliolio The issue is with the config. try the following change:

pws: 'pws:IBATTLE3',

Hi @RedNax,
thanks for the excellent module! I seem to have some difficulty having night time icons displayed. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong as this is what my module looks like at 1 am in the morning:

Using the API in my browser window I get the following two lines:

“icon”:“clear”,
“icon_url”:“http://icons.wxug.com/i/c/k/nt_clear.gif”

It seems to me that I’m getting the daytime “clear” condition icon, maybe due to the ambiguous icon declaration, anything I can do to change icons like this one to nighttime icons?

RedNax

Easiest way to do this is to define another icontable for nighttime use and switching to it after sunset…

When i have some time, i’ll look into it…

UPDATE: Who am i kidding ;) Nighttime icons now included…

Where is the github url or download url of these module? Can’t find it.

@murattyilmaz,

You need to look under the Showcase category to find the actual link. This category here is the Troubleshooting side of those modules.

@RedNax

Hi - I’d already tried that unfortunately. Still gets stuck at the same point in the code & displaying ‘Loading’ on the screen.

Would wrapping that for loop in an if that checks whether data.alerts is actually defined or a try block help do you think?

RedNax

Hi!

The alerts array is always there, even when there’s zero items in it. The behaviour you’re seeing is only possible if/when the api errors out and doesn’t send a meaningful payload. Could build a check for that…

Could it be BATTLE3 goes offline at times? When using the earlier mentiond config setting, it works just fine here… (there was a flod warning if i remember correctly)…
