      I’m actually working on my own WUnderground module as well. I like them also for finding a closest station, but also because for some dumb reason, OpenWeatherMap is often REALLY wrong when it comes to the current conditions. The forecast is fairly accurate, but many times it would say it’s 20-30 degrees cooler than it actually is in the current conditions. It’s the same thing when I look on their web site too, so I know it’s not the module messing up. It’s whatever they are using for data collecting, it’s horribly wrong.

      A Life? Cool! Where can I download one of those from?

        I´m also a heavy user of wunderground and appreciate such a Modul.
        (So I could use, indirectly, the weather station of my neighbor.

          I’m modifying for wunderground now too. I’m finding openweathermap horribly wrong sometimes (today they say showers here and every other forecast system says sun).

            I’ve modified the existing weatherforecast module to utilize weather underground… I’m utilizing the weather underground default icons for now. Not sure if it is something of interest for me to modularize or not?

              yes, very interested. Please if it wouldn’t be too much trouble, a module would be great, including the colors.

                I just finished getting it all coded up. The colors are simply css modifications (I can post how I did that in the README). About to grab some dinner then I’ll finish documentation and figure out how to set it up on GitHub.

                    This is awesome. I’ve installed added the info to the modules directory, adjusted the config.js and defaultmodules.js but it just sits and says “Loading…” and never loads.

                    I have api key and my info is loaded as NY/Elmira and I’ve also tried NY/Pine_City

                    Did I miss something here?

                    OH by the way this module is truly awesome!! Great job! Thank you

                        There shouldn’t be any reason to edit 'defaultmodules.js', that’s only specific to the default modules that MM comes with. Any modules that you install does not go in the default folder, but simply in MagicMirror/modules/<module_name> …
