showRainAmount not working in 2.3.1
-
Ive updated to 2.3.1 and it seems to be working nicely. I appreciate that the new default weather module now has the option to show rain amount. Only… I cant get it to work. Anyone have some ideas what is wrong?
This is my config for the forecast below. Its the same on 2 magic mirrors and neither shows the precip amount. Its the only reason I still use the Wunderground module instead, but the icons for that module are so damn ugly and they arent very obvious what it is showing.
{ module: "weatherforecast", position: "top_right", // header: "Forecast", config: { location: "Brooklyn", locationID: "5110302", //Brooklyn appid: "", MaxNumberOfDays: '4', roundTemp: 'true', fade: 'false', fadePoint: '1', colored: 'true', showRainAmount: 'true' } },

Please note it is
true
andfalse
and not'true'
and'false'

@yawns - thanks but this didnt solve the issue.
Also - curious why you have no ‘’ or “” around true and false. everywhere in my config all values are quoted this way and everywhere it works as expected
-
That’s how javascript works. A string is always true, so
'true'
is true,'false'
is also true,true
is true and even'MagicMirror'
is true. Onlyfalse
is false
-
@yawns True - I always do quotes as a matter of habit and also the values are then colored in nano to make them easy to see. Without quotes they are the same color as regular text
-
Good. Now with this being clear I have no idea why you don’t see the rain amount. Maybe it’s not provided for your location currently? I can check on my installation tomorrow

@yawns
Im in Brooklyn NYC which should be pretty well covered as far as the data, but you make a point. Ill try another NYC location on my ‘minimirror’ and compare with my main one.

Depends on the reliability of the API data.

Has anyone found a workaround for this? I plugged in 5375911 for a location which is Murrieta CA. The UI on openweathermap.com shows it getting “moderate” rain today so I expect that the data is there. I still did not see any indicator of rain on the MM widget though.
