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

[dmcinnes]

@pyrosmiley Hello! The precipitation graph is created using an HTML Canvas so unfortunately the colors cannot be tweaked by CSS apart from the border. The Javascript will need to be modified to support additional colors. Here is where the color is set for the curve and further up it draws the horizontal lines and tick marks. Ideally these colors are configurable. I’ve added an issue to the repo to track it!

I’m knee deep in another project, so if someone wants to take a crack at it, please be my guest :)

[pyrosmiley]

@dmcinnes Oh, okay — that makes a lot of sense! Glad to know it’s not just me missing something. I’ll take a look at the html and see what I can do, thanks for pointing that out for me.

@jinjirosan Hi, have you made the changes available to download? Would like to give it a go as currently using a combination of the default weather and forecast-io.

Hello! as i am completely new to this MM…i am unable to where the icons images are placed…if anybody knows that,guide me , so that i want to change the UI for mine…

[pyrosmiley]

@mongo116 The changes were merged into the main branch of the module, so if you’re up to date, then you should be able to add ‘’’precipitationFillColor’’’ to your config. I added a description and some other info to the readme as well.

[pyrosmiley]

@Basanth_Kumar I’m on my phone so I can’t look up links very effectively, but there are a couple of guides on the forums that are good for learning how to setup your configuration file. The official guide on the github page is also pretty thorough. It definitely took some trial and error for me to get up and running (gotta pay attention to those commas!) but you’ll get it. Just follow those guides, and just change one little thing at a time so you can learn to see how it works — you’ll get the hang of it!

@pyrosmiley Thanks for that. What about the wind, and sunrise / sunset settings? Or were these never merged? Thanks…

[pyrosmiley]

@mongo116 sadly I don’t see that those were ever added in and it wasn’t me that did it. I have no idea what I’m doing but sometime soon I’ll see if I can figure it out? I also tried for that awhile back using CSS but didn’t get very far. If you get it let me know, and I’ll do the same!

I’ve added some of those on my local branch a long time ago. Feel free to pick from there https://github.com/morozgrafix/MMM-forecast-io/commit/972201f64d432c3c0863a7d76364e7f8af1bb817 and https://github.com/morozgrafix/MMM-forecast-io/commit/13ff8b78c86dc0905e46c11702d7173571517e79

My fork is fairly old and hasn’t been synced in a while, though.

It looks like this:

[pyrosmiley]

Very nice! I’ll definitely pull from that then

Hi guys,

I like the concept of the bars for the min/max temperature very much. I wanted the look of the hourly temperature graph a bit more more modern and slick.

I sat down today and did some code magic. I am surprised how it went. The magicmirror is the first javescript project. So bear with me.

This is how it looks now.

I created a fork which I will clean up a bit in the next weeks. Today I am glad it works at all ,-)?

Enjoy.

Ralf

@rak There seems to be a small error in the script creating the graph:

// Init chart.js
this.chart = new Chart(ctx, {
  type: 'line',
  data: data,
  options: options
});

Throws an uncaught reference error. Unfortunately I know absolutely nothing about js, can you let me know how to fix it.

You had the plugin before?

Have you done this after switching to my fork? It should install chart.js as a dependency.

npm install

I hope this solves your problem. Let me know.

@paulocarrasco Thats an easy one:) You are missing an , after 'my api key'.

Here is the correct config:

{
      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
      }
},

@rak Had the original working OK, tried to npm install chart.js in the MM root :(

the npm install in the MMM-foecast.io directory fixed it. :)

looks great, good work.

thanks

@rak
Nice work. i just installed it and adjusted for fitting my mirror.

Is it possible to shrink the height from the graph?
or is it calculated from the width (400px) to keep its aspect ratio?

[rak]

Should be easy do adapt. I can check if the height is currently fixed or exposed in the config.js.

[barnosch]

guess i found it in the

renderPrecipitationGraph: function ()

and

renderSVGPrecipitationGraph: function ()

both heights are calculated there.

var width = this.config.precipitationGraphWidth; 
var height = Math.round(width * 0.3); // 120 by default

Played around with the setting, but it did not change anything. Don’t get it currently… mabye you have an idea?

[barnosch]

seems not the correct place.
Even if comment out both lines with “height” it makes no difference…

Hey! Although this thread is a bit old, I’m wondering if I can get some assistance. I have my DarkSky API key correct, however the console of my Mirror is telling me that it refreshed the access token because it had expired. I checked the API panel, and it did indeed show that the API had been called, so my API key is correct. However, the weather module never loaded. Any suggestions?
