Nice Module, really love it.
Unfortunately i have a problem with another module (mmm-traffic) while NOAA is active. The font there should be colored but now it´s background is completely colored. While NOAA is disabled, everything is fine.
Any clue?

thx,
Mac

@mac0178 Let me take a look perhaps a css tag is similar :) Ahhhhhh yes perhaps this is it…

In the NOAA css file there is this:

.red{
	background:#f00;
}
.green{
	background:#0f0;
}
.blue{
	background:#00f;
}

and in the MMM-Traffic module there is this:

.green {
  color: #83FFB3;
}

.yellow {
  color: yellow;
}

.red {
  color: #FF4C4C;
}

So I’m going to update the css file and you can try it again :)

Just go to the MagicMirror/modules/MMM-NOAA dir and type

git pull

that should update the css file :)

Yeah, that´s it!
Thank you very much, great support!

Hello,

I tried to install this module but I can not make it work.

instead of the module on the magic mirror screen, it says: “weather info”

I attach to this post my config file:

		{
			module: 'MMM-NOAA',
			position: 'top_right',
			config: {
				apiKey: "a3cXXXXX",    // https://www.wunderground.com/weather/api  select the middle plan... 
				useAir: true,             // set to false if you do not want to use Air Quality Index
				airKey: "Z4pXXXXXXX",    // IF you want Air Quality Index
				pws: "pws:I93SEVRA3",         // go here to find your pws: https://www.wunderground.com/wundermap
				lat: "48.919XXX",        // need this for sunrise/sunset  if left blank none will show  -- find them here: http://www.latlong.net/
				lon: "2.533XXX",       // need this for sunrise/sunset  if left blank none will showshowClock: true,           // Hides or shows clock
				dformat: false,             // for M/D/YYYY format, false for D/M/YYYY
				format: "24",              // 12 or 24 hour format.. will default to 12 hour if none selected.
				ampm: false,                // to show AM and PM on Sunrise/Sunset time
				showGreet: false,          // deafult is false - to show greeting under clock and above date
				name: "",                  // Your name
				showWind: true,
				showDate: false,
				showForecast: true,         //show bottom 3 day forecast
				flash: true,                 //Today in forecast flashes halo
				showUV: true,               //show UV index
				showBar: true,             // show Barometer
				showHum: true,              //show Humidity level
				position: 'top_right',       //whatever you have in above position must also be here
				alert: true                //show weather alerts default is true
		}
		},		

By contrast, weather underground works properly so I think it does not come from the API key.

Does anyone have an idea? Thank you

@Chris start the mirror like this
npm start dev

in that window let me know what if any errors you’re getting :)

MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?

Thanks for your help

I corrected the pws value and it works. I made a mistake in the way of writing it.

pws: "pws:I93SEVRA3",

instead of

pws: "I93SEVRA3",

Sorry to have bothered you for so little

Thank you very much for your help

[cowboysdude]

@Chris Hahhahaahha it happens :) Glad you got it working!!! You didn’t bother me!!

[Peter]

First: this is a beautiful module, I like it very much!
But sometimes it does strange things: today is thursday and normally the module would show today, friday, saturday, etc.
But sometimes the module suddenly shows wednesday (yesterday) only.
After restarting (or from itself) the module is normal again.
Somebody any idea?
Peter

@Peter

It sounds like your whole MagicMirror instance freezes. But you can only see this at the NOAA module, because once the modules have loaded their informations they will show (without updated informations) their stuff.
So the other modules freezes, too but u can’t recognize it because u normally see no refreshing data. But on the NOAA module u expect a change of the shown data.

Sorry, my english is bad. Hope u could understand.

please check your log files and post the content

[Peter]

@cruunnerr your english is good to understand.
I think my MM is freezing indeed (see my other thread “something is wrong”).
But I do not understand why NOAA gives yesterdays weather while freezing.
If it gave only todays wheather I would understand.
I suspect one of the other modules making my MM freeze.
But which one …
Peter

[cruunnerr]

if u use pm2, u should check pm2 logs and check the errors. Other way is to start MM with develop mode: npm start dev or with ssh: DISPLAY=:0 npm start dev

Or start it with Firefox on your pc and use Firebug

[Peter]

@cruunnerr , I am very sorry and it sounds stupid, but I have no idea how my MM starts.
I had a lot problems to make its start automatically, but now it works.
I cannot stop MM, only minimalise it with CRTL-M.
SSH does not work (for some reason) VNC works well.

After every update of MMM-NOAA the current weather is back in english again.
Translation of the current weather is not in the Dutch translation file.
Any idea how to fix this definitely?
Peter

@Peter said in MMM-NOAA - Another Weather Module:

Isn’t the nl.json file Dutch translations? If not, you can help. How does that sound? :-)

• Take any one of the translation files that you find in the tranaslations folder of the MMM-NOAA folder.

• Make a copy of the file and rename the copy

• Edit the copy . Don’t edit the left side which are the English words.

• Edit the right side words so that they are the correct translations in Dutch for English words on the left side.

• Save the file and submit it to the author

[Peter]

@Mykle1 thanks.
I did something like that.
This part is missing in the nl.json:

"OVERCAST": "Overcast",
"CLOUDY": "Cloudy",
"RAIN": "Rain",
"CLEAR": "Clear",
"PARTLY_CLOUDY": "Partly Cloudy",

So, I copied this from the en.json, pasted it in the nl.json and translated the right side, like this:

"OVERCAST": "Grotendeels bewolkt",
"CLOUDY": "Bewolkt",
"RAIN": "Regen",
"CLEAR": "Helder",
"PARTLY_CLOUDY": "Gedeeltelijk bewolkt",

After restarting MM it shows: Overcast …
Strange about this: in the older version of NOAA the same part is missing in nl.json, but the translation is ok.
So I presume the translation is somewhere else …
