MMM-forecast-io -- Localized up to the minute weather

plumcraft

Have you done your forecast module by any chance ?

Thanks

@darrene glad you like the module! That would be cool to have but I’m working on another project right now so I’m not interested in taking that on. If anyone else wants to take a try at doing it, please be my guest and send a PR!
The original module used SVG, but I used HTML5 canvas to avoid external libraries (plus I prefer canvas anyway).

great module! I’m curious to know how to configure it for “small”… i can’t find any clue in the documentation apart from trying to fiddle around with the .css. thanks!

dmcinnes

@shavesophere thanks! You can add the ‘small’ class to the module’s classes in the config.js.

I’ve just pushed an update to the module. Previously if there was a network error the module would get “stuck” and no longer update. This is now fixed!

@dmcinnes forgive me I’m a noob when it comes to classes in javascript… you you be so kind as to post the code that needs altering?

dmcinnes

@shavesophere sorry I wasn’t too descriptive!
Here’s the example from the repo with the added ‘small’ class, forth line from the top:

  {
    module: 'MMM-forecast-io',
    position: 'top_right',  // This can be any of the regions.
    classes: 'small',
    config: {
      // See 'Configuration options' for more information.
      apiKey: 'abcde12345abcde12345abcde12345ab', // Dark Sky API key.
      // Only required if geolocation doesn't work:
      latitude:   16.77532,
      longitude: -3.008265
    }
 }

Hope that helps!

Hello, has something changed to this module? I have clones the repo twice but i still don’t see the graph being displayed. Did ‘git checkout weather-forecast’ as mentioned but still a no go. I can see everything else but the graph. I am on debian, node serveronly, Firefox.

Hi @Rian9771 the rain graph only appears when there’s rain happening in the next hour.
