      This module adds super localized, up to the minute weather using the forecast.io API – the same service that powers the Dark Sky App.
      It will tell you exactly when the rain will start or stop.

        @dmcinnes - Looks good.

        There was a fork(?) of the original Magic Mirror (version 1) code which replaced the standard weather module using data from Dark Sky’s forecast.io API - see https://github.com/jangellx/MagicMirror

        This included a graph of temperature/rain, a forecast for the week ahead and a summary of current weather - see https://github.com/jangellx/MagicMirror#important-installation-note

        Code seems to be contained in https://github.com/dmcinnes/MMM-forecast-io/blob/master/MMM-forecast-io.js

        Any chance your MM² module could be extended to include this too?

          Wow that looks great! Particularly the weather forecast.
          I looked at creating a graph since the data is all right there in the response. I might as well see I can port the code over to this module!

            Forecast.io API has been rebranded as darksky.net: http://blog.darksky.net/introducing-darksky-net/

            I’ve updated this module with the default URLs, otherwise it doesn’t seem to support the redirect properly.

            I’m continuing to work on this module, more soon!

              Just wanted to say thanks for the great module, and ask if you were planning on implementing the graph like the abovepicture? As it looks really awesome!

                @Les sure thing! I am working on a precipitation graph and I have a forecast set up. Check out the weather-forecast branch for a work in progress:

                  @dmcinnes Testing it out. Got 2 questions…

                  1. is it possible to activate the chart yet? (if so how)
                  2. does the 7 day forecast work? I have showForcast: “true” in config.js but it is not displayed. Is there something else I have to set?

                    @Les the rain graph should show up when the API responds with “minutely”, when there’s minute-by-minute rain data.
                    Not sure why the forecast isn’t showing, it should appear by default. I’ll have to look at it later today.

                      Just for reference, this is what i have in config.js

                                      {
                                          module: 'MMM-forecast-io',
                                          position: 'top_right', 
                                          config: {
                                            showForecast: 'true',
                                            // See 'Configuration options' for more information.
                                            apiKey: 'keyvalue',  // Dark Sky $
                                            // Only required if geolocation doesn't work:
                                            latitude:   43.955907,
                                            longitude: -78.906245,
                                              updateInterval: 600000
                                              }
                                      },

                        Hi, I’m trying to use this module but it keep showing an error on the config file.

                        Here is the code->

                        {
                              module: 'MMM-forecast-io',
                              position: 'top_right',  // This can be any of the regions.
                              config: {
                                // See 'Configuration options' for more information.
                                apiKey: 'my api key' // Dark Sky API key.
                                // Only required if geolocation doesn't work:
                                latitude:   37.1468,
                                longitude: -8.5846
                              }
                            },
                        

                        When I remove this code part the config works, so all the rest is ok.

                        I already have cloned the module on git to the newest version.

                        Can someone help me?..
