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

@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.

dmcinnes

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

Hello! Thanks for your time with this module!

I would like to customize the weather icons. I am able to change the overall color of the icons with CSS, but taking that a step further, is there a way to alter sections of the icons instead of the icon as a whole?

I.e. wi-day-cloudy with an orange sun poking out from a grey cloud.

I see that the icons are pulled from the erikflowers github repository, but I don’t see where they are pulling from within the module. Based on most of these weather modules using the same iconset, I’m guessing they’re being pulled from that repo directly.

My initial thought was to extract from the module, recolor with Photoshop and then replace the icons in the module. Is that possible? Would I just make a whole new set, store locally and change the path somewhere in the JS?
