I think his version https://github.com/cowboysdude/MMM-WeatherBackground will be work. I don’t know it is completed or not, but you can try it.

I think it wasn’t installed properly. (@cowboysdude might have forgotten npm install in his description.)

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-WeatherBackground
npm install

try again.

@sean

My advice. Delete your current MMM-WeatherBackground folder/directory. Clone the repo again
git clone https://github.com/cowboysdude/MMM-WeatherBackground.git into your modules folder. cd into your new MMM-WeatherBackground directory. Run npm install. You should be golden.

P.S. No helper is not an error.

Well there may be another issue. This is the fun of the mirror…no two are alike and sometimes different problems arise.

Hang in there, it’ll be working :)

@cowboysdude
i bought a new sd card and reinstall it all . it finally worked.

[cowboysdude]

@buzzman AWESOME! :)

@Sean Hey there thank you for this cool module.
I have one problem though i have different pages on my mirror MMM-pages and i also use your MMM-DropboxWallpaper that i use for a few of those pages as a background (not on all of them) and works fine… so this brings me to my question… I want the MMM-WeatherBackground only for Page 1 where my weather module is at?? How do i do that so it does not surface on all backgrounds …i did make sure that i have listed MMM-WeatherBackground on Page 1 only not on exemptions where those modules that are on all pages reside.

Please help me out and thank you again
Denis

I’ll reply to u next monday.

MMM-WeatherBackground will display photos in ANYWHERE you appoint.
Maybe you’ve been appointing .fullscreen.below as targetDOM, so, it shows photos on fullscreen_below - where is shared with all pages of screen globally.

So, here is a simple(?) trick.

I made a dummy module for doing nothing but just existing.
https://github.com/eouia/MMM-Dummy
Install that, and modify configuration like this.

{
  module:"MMM-Dummy",
  position: "fullscreen_below",
  config: {
    width:"100vw",
    height: "100vh",
  }
},
{
  module: "MMM-WeatherBackground",
  config: {
    targetDOM: ".MMM-Dummy"
  }
},

Now MMM-Dummy will contain weatherphotos as its background image. You can show/hide this module with any page controlling modules.(MMM-Pages? MMM-Caroulsel?)
