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

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.

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?

@phrazelle the css is located in the magicmirror vendor folder

@strawberry-3.141 Thanks for the info!

After looking through there, it looks like the module pulls the icons as a font file. I believe that would mean that CCS customization would be overall to each displayed character. So there would be no way to color segments of each character (like an orange sun poking out from a grey cloud) because the stylization would apply to the character as a whole.

Am I assessing at that correctly?

Great module!! One question, is there anyway to make the length of the temperature bars a bit smaller? I suppose because the NY weather is so erratic right now it is making the bars wider but was just curious if I can shrink them a bit to save some space. thanks!

also it could just be me but I keep seeing the rain icon next to the temperature even though there’s no rain in the forecast for today (the small icon by the days of the week shows nothing but sun). Anything I can do to check that icon to see if it is an issue?
