MMM-NOAA - Another Weather Module

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?

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 …

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?

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 …

@Peter Hello Peter, i found the Problem since a few Versions of NOAA the translation comes directly from wunderground and during the last Change from @cowboysdude he made a small mistake. We will fix this soon.

Peter

@tbbear great!
Thanks!

Oh, this I did not know. Thanks for the info, Robert.

@Peter I am sure he will correct it soon enough

@tbbear If you put lang: and your languagecode from Wunderground in MMM-NOAA:s config in my case SW for Sweden
it works.

tbbear

@Nilnik Hi, the problem is only in the latest version.

@ALL The problem is fixed , please do ur git pull in MMM-NOAA

Sorry i found my mistake, i forgot “npm install” :( Sorry

Johans

Hi,
Sorry for these stupid questions.

How can I get the temperature with 1 or 2 decimals?
I want to get data from 2 different locations (Home & Holiday home abroud)
Can I copy module & rename it MMM-NOAA2 or can I put 2 different API & PWS locations in?

tbbear

@Johans Hi Johans, to ask is never stupid. So to your questions:

The module gets his data from Wunderground so it can only display what it gets.
Yes, this should be possible and u said how it can be done. U can copy it to a new name and
npm install their. Dont forget to add the renamed module in the config file

Johans

@tbbear thanks for the quick answer.
I will copy & rename & add into config file.

About temp with decimals, I installed also MMM-MyWeather which takes the data from wunderground (just to compare both weather modules) - in fact It uses same API & PWS as NOAA, but here i’m getting the temperature with 1 decimal. (not 7°, but 7.4°).
Anyhow, no big deal, I can live with it. I just asked, maybe there was a setting for the temp decimals which wasn’t yet communicated or so.

tbbear

@Johans OK, so let me check what is possible
(by the way u must have a very sensible skin to feel decimals … only joking)

MMM-NOAA.js starting line 310. Math.round() is used which rounds up or down and eliminates decimals.
Maybe you could add a config option to specify number of decimals?
