@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.

Quick question about this module and some of the icon classes. I found which ones I need to change for the high and low temperature in the custom.css file, which works great. What I can’t figure out is how come I can’t get sunset to change to orange, and sunrise to yellow. I am pretty sure its the right icon.

.wi.wi-thermometer {
  color: #ff0000; /* Red */
}

.wi.wi-thermometer-exterior {
  color: #0000ff; /* Blue */
}

.wi.wi-umbrella {
  color: white;
}

wi.wi.sunset {
  color: orange;
}
wi.wi.sunrise {
  color: yellow;
}

Nevermind, I found it.

.wi.dimmed.wi-sunset
and
.wi.dimmed.wi-sunrise

@Shockwave Sorry for the late reply… missed your post here…

It’s not expected behaviour. The entire message should be displayed in the popup. It may have something to do with the

				alerttruncatestring : "english:"

property…

Try changing t to an empty string.

Also, could you post the entire result of your api call?

Couple of things…

Wind icons.
Ive tried copy weather-icons-wind.css to the vendor folder and change vendor.js with no luck.
I also tried to change getStyles: in the MMM-WunderGround.js file to use the ...-wind.cssfile located in the module folder.

Since its just the wind icons do i need to do anything special to use them?

How can i remove Sunrise/Sunset and mm (rain amount)
Im also wondering how to change the unit km/tim (km/h Swedish translate) to m/s?

As soon as i try to change anything to remove anything involved “Sunset” or “mm” everything breaks. I cant even remove /astronomy from getParams:. (Wich i believe is the wrong way to do it, But its better to try your way ahead then to hide in the corner.)

I want it to look more like this ->

I had no problems changing the default weather modules this way, but since im a newbie i cant figure this one out. :P

Hi @RedNax
Could you explain the ‘pws’ attribute a little please?
What’s ‘loctype’? Are there any other valid values?

‘locid’ is giving a little trouble. I can’t find anything on Wunderground about it, but if I use the ‘Search Locations’ tool, and when my area comes up, pick a different station (one closer to where I am), the url changes to this:
https://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=pws:IBATTLE3&MR=1
So I’ve put your example config into config.js, set my apikey, and changed the locid to IBATTLE3.

I left the default weather module in the config file while I was getting your one set up, and when they were both on screen they seemed to be giving weather for two different places as the sunrise times were different by about an hour so I’m really not confidant that I’ve got the correct locid here…

Many thanks.
