I don’t know how I missed that. Thanks again for showing me the error of my ways. :-)

Mykle, kids called me at work today. magic mirror is making weird noises. 😀

Afraid for hardware failure I went home only to find out mmmbmwds had added sounds and it rained for the first time.

Would you consider building in a config switch to enable/disable sounds?

Rename the mp3 files to something else

git pull in the MMM-BMW-DS directory and playSounds: "no" in the new config option. :thumbsup:

Why can’t everything I try to do with modules be that easy?

@mykle1 tnx for the quick fix.
(At last peace returns to the grey havens 😁)

Hi, sorry about bringing back up this old post. I’m currently having issues with it, it’s displaying in the bottom with acquiring you weather but doesn’t go any further than that. I’ve checked the config as far as I can tell but I’m still having issues, would it be possible to have some help? Thanks

@RV-Knight

Please post your config entry for MMM-BMW-DS (in a code block) so I can take a look at it for you. It should look something like this:

{
            disabled: false,
            module: "MMM-BMW-DS",
            position: "bottom_bar",
            config: {
                apiKey: "123456789123456789", // Your api key from darksky.net
                ownTitle: "Current Conditions",
                tempUnits: "F", // C of F
                lat: '42.123456',
                lng: '-74.123456',
                css: "2",
                playSounds: "no",
                useHeader: false, // true if you want a header
                header: "Your header",
                maxWidth: "100%",
            }
        },

You can also start your mirror using npm start dev. Click the Console tab in the window that opens (top left) and report any errors (appearing in RED). You may have to scroll

Glad you found your solution. I post below some of the things you can use in custom.css for anyone that cares.

.MMM-BMW-DS .header {
  color: yellow;                 /* Header color. */
}

.MMM-BMW-DS .image {             /* icon size */
   width: 1.75%;
   height: 1.75%;
   margin-top: 0px;
   margin-bottom: -10px;
}

.MMM-BMW-DS .current {
  color: #FFFFFF;               /* Current text forecast color. Default is white. */
  font-size: .6em;
}

.MMM-BMW-DS .summary {
  color: #FFFFFF;               /* General summary text forecast color. Default is white. */
  font-size: .6em;  
  display: none;                /* uncomment to hide */
}

.MMM-BMW-DS .daily {
  color: #FFFFFF;               /* Days of the week and hi/lo temp color. Default is white. */
  font-size: .6em; 
}

Thank you, mate. :thumbsup:

Cool module as always. Is there a setting somewhere for the summary?
Mine isn’t showing

Mykle1

@cyberphox

My bad, bro. Was supposed to be showing by default with the ability of hiding the summary via css. So, I made the correction and pushed it to the repo. Do a git pull in the MMM-BMW-DS or install as per the readme and the summary will be displayed by default.

Then, if you want to hide the summary you would add this to your custom.css file.

.MMM-BMW-DS .summary {
   display: none; 
}

cyberphox

Awesome! That did it! Thanks so much!

You’re welcome, bro! :thumbsup:

Thanks for pointing that out to me.

With the end of DarkSky API, I’ve forked this and updated it to use PirateWeather. https://github.com/gonzonia/MMM-BMW-PW

All coding credit goes to @Mykle1 . I pretty much just changed the name and a URL. Pirateweather does not support languages though and that was removed.

Cr4z33

@gonzonia any chance you might adapt it for Tomorrow.io (former ClimaCell) users too? :)

gonzonia

@Cr4z33 PirateWeather was easy because it uses the same format as DarkSky. If Tomorrow.io does as well then theoretically it could be easy to add a config setting for the URL along with the existing API key setting.
