@cowboysdude About airvisual.com ,After register i will get airkey , have 2 question

I would like to know airvisual how to know my location (no lat,long data in register)

what is different US AQI vs China AQI

Thanks for all help

It gets it from the weather api … I did that way so you didn’t have to put it in…easier
I really have no idea what the difference is between US and China… that’s a question for Airvisual :)

2 “hopefully” quick questions:

Is there any way to incorporate the AirVisual icons into this module? The colored text becomes harder to read during periods of “REALLY” bad air quality. (Like during the California fires last week)
My weather icon is showing above the temperature, but most of screenshots show it to the left. Is this a module width issue in my CSS? or something I have set in my config?

Thanks all.

@Reotch2

If you can find the icons I can see how it looks. The problem for most is lack of space :)
Not sure what has caused that for you… you are the 1st :) do you have the latest update?

@cowboysdude About Air Quality Index
when data (Air Quality Index) show is number
Normally general people not understand what does’t it means
If can convert number to easy wording description like as
0-50 convert to Good
51-100 convert to moderate
101-150 convert to Unhealthy

How to Convert in module?

Thanks for your help

@nobita That’s why the numbers are color coded ;) BUT can do what I did with the UV Index and use

Good
Moderate
Unhealthy
UNHEATHLY
VERY UNHEATHLY

Well depends on what you’re looking for… number and icon, just icon?

I would have to adjust the icons because the tab sticking out on the right would be a pain to deal with ;)

Not opposed to these but the numbers mean more to me because it tells me more… safe is 0 to 50… if the aqi is 49 the green picture really doesn’t tell me anything so let me see what I can do…

@cowboysdude Begging and choosing… I know… but maybe

config:
Air_qual: “icon”, // icon, text, or both

Not many people will likely find themselves in my shoes… But once you get to an Air Quality >300, the dark text was impossible to read on the black background through the mirror.

YES that I know is a problem… for some reason those colors don’t do well on black… so like I said let me see what I can do :)

I did a clean install of the module but still have the same issue. Im running at 90% zoom, so think that’s probably my problem. I’ll tinker later.

Just a thought… I prefer the numbers… the icons don’t really tell me anything…

Editorial

It dawned on me, after reading through the 154 posts in this topic, that people may not know what they are asking of a developer. Yes, this is an open format, and you’re supposed ask for a module, ask for features, voice your opinion (that’s what I’m doing) etc… But think about it. What seems like a simple request might mean hours (or more) of work for someone who does this for the fun of it. Someone who worked all day and came home to a list of requests. It’s like being married twice. Now, who the hell wants that? :^)

The beauty of this format is this. You can fork any repo of any module. Now it’s yours! You can make, or attempt to make, any modifications you like. After all, all the work is already done, right?

I think at this point, if you became stuck with a modification, you could ask for help on how to proceed. I did just that the other day. I worked for 4 days on a problem and could not solve it. It was only then that I asked for help and I felt rewarded knowing that I did all of the work. I was also deeply appreciative of help that was given me.

Where am I going with this?

The hell if I know!

Peace!

Those are cool. The number makes it immediately apparent what the conditions are. Nice work! And thank you.

@cowboysdude Looks perfect. The biggest issue I had was the dark red not having contrast on the black screen. Thought the icons may be a viable fix, but this is honestly the better way to go.

All this being said. If you are seeing be numbers and colors I was last week, you’re having a bad day. Maybe the best solution is just to color those readings the same as the orange tier. I don’t want to mess up your simple (and well-liked) format.

As @Mykle1 stated below, Its easy to overlook how much time you put into this. I definitely appreciate and applaud your work.

Thanks again.

@Reotch2 Thanks …

I was thinking about putting the UV AQ as header in one line then the circles and numbers under each corresponding header…
