My display so far...

@Chiumanfu I haven’t tried to do that. This is a fork of MMM-WunderGround, and the data pull mechanism is unchanged. My changes are only in the formatting. I suspect that the two instances are sharing a single node-helper module, and as such, you’ll see the same data for both.
Can you try a test for me? Configure one instance using MMM-MyWeather, and the second using MMM-WunderGround. If you get different data sets for the two, then there’s likely a way to address this. Otherwise, what might be happening is the API recognizes two requests from the same machine, and isn’t allowing multiple locations. Might be a limitation of the free API.
-
@j.e.f.f Yes, it works as expected when using MMM-Wunderground to display the second location. It would be nice to have them display both in MMM-MyWeather but if the fix is difficult, I can live with it this way. Thanks.

@Chiumanfu I took a look at the way node_helper.js behaves for this module. It will take a considerable amount of re-engineering to get it to support multiple instances, and given that I am in the middle of a couple of other modules, I don’t think I’ll try to address this any time soon.
What you can do is instead of specifying two instances of the
MMM-MyWeather
module, make a copy of the module folder, name it, say,MMM-MyWeather2
. renameMMM-MyWeather.js
toMMM-MyWeather2.js
. Then modifyMMM-MyWeather2.js
and change the first line of code fromModule.register("MMM-MyWeather", {
to
Module.register("MMM-MyWeather2", {
Now you have two distinct modules that do exactly the same thing. Make a second entry in your config.js file for
MMM-MyWeather2
. That should give you exactly what you are looking for.The downside here is that you’ll need to redo the above steps if you ever update the module source code. I don’t see it changing all that much in the near future unless something breaks, so you should be good for a while.

This looks really nice… is the temp read out from Nest?
-
@RamblingGeekUk yeah. It logs in to your nest account via the API to get the current temp and state of the Nest.
-
@j.e.f.f Awesome… I was going to write all of this myself until I found this site yesterday, this is amazing. :-)
-
@j.e.f.f Thanks! I’ll try it.
-
@Chiumanfu I just realized that this will mess up the styles in you copied version of the module. You’ll need to do a search and replace in the copied version’s style sheet: in
MMM-MyWeather.css
, replace all instances ofMMM-MyWeather
withMMM-MyWeather2

@j.e.f.f Dear j.e.f.f.,
I am trying your fork of MMM-Wunderground and like your additions a lot.
Is there a way to completely hide the current weather and only use the forecast-table (or vice versa only the current weather)? I would like to split both parts to different sections of the screen. So far, I have not found or overlooked options to hide today’s weather or the table completely.
Also, would it be possible to use the 24h timeformat in the forecast-table as well? I have set the global variable and it works fine for e.g. the clock - but MMM-MyWeather uses am/pm times. -
@rudibarani It turns out there was an undocumented parameter to hide the current conditions display. I pushed an update to also add a similar one for the forecast table.
You can configure it like follows:
{ module: 'MMM-MyWeather', position: 'top_right', config: { ... //other config options omitted for clarity currentweather: 1, // 0 to hide forecasttable: 1, // 0 to hide } },
