@MajorC You could try my MMM-Buienalarm. I just recently integrated the climacell API. Not as good as the dutch service but available in all Germany (and Europe.
Care to try it out?

Hey guys, does anyone have the latitude and longitude for Dallas Texas, I’ve tried the setting recommendations from the city list text file and many others, all i get is “no data”, but if i set the setting to default it collects the data no problem, please let me know if im missing something,

    "id": 4684904,
    "name": "Dallas County",
    "state": "TX",
    "country": "US",
    "coord": {
        "lon": -96.783607,
        "lat": 32.7668

Thanks in advance,

@jermaine171993 got the numbers reversed,

lat is left/right of england
long is up/down from equator

@jermaine171993 The data for this particular module is based in the Netherlands and the original developer stated it was for the Netherlands. I’m suspecting it won’t display data for anywhere not in the Netherlands. (I really want to use this too here in the US).

@Wenike @jermaine171993 I’m working on somthing similar based on the climacell API (providing worldwide data). Will be ready in a few days.
Currently working on https://github.com/lavolp3/MMM-Buienalarm/tree/climacell

Will move to a new rep soon.

@lavolp3 Awesome, please let me know when you do have one and I’ll even offer testing if you want.

@lavolp3 just wondering if your done with the followng module ?

Can you provide the config for dallas Taxas US cant get this to work with my mirror ?

@jermaine171993 I’m working on it but have to say that the climacell data is very disappointing for Germany, where I live.
I will publish it so you can test out Texas :-)

@jermaine171993 @Wenike
I have finished the module, would you mind trying that out?

As said, it uses the climacell api and I’m currently not satisfied with the output.
Openweathermap has a minutely output for 1 hour, that might be another option.
