MMM-DarkSkyForecast - Yet ANOTHER weather module

sdetweil

@Cr4z33 said in MMM-DarkSkyForecast - Yet ANOTHER weather module:

Modules won’t appear again until I restart MM.

that usually means MM has crashed… many times this is memory related… we know that the default updater module also causes a similar behavior

Cr4z33

@j-e-f-f OK, I’ve started disabling all other 3rd-party modules and enabling them one by one.

Apart from that what shall I look to then once there’s an issue between your module and the one of someone else? :)

@sdetweil so what do you suggest me to do? :thinking_face:
At first I thought that using MMM-WatchDog could sort the problem, but I feel like I misunderstood? :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

sdetweil

@Cr4z33 watchdog will just allow you to restart when it crashes… not capture why…

I still don’t have a good method for capturing these kinds of failures…

Cr4z33

@sdetweil oh I see, but then even if my MM doesn’t look like it restarted.

By now I am trying to see the overall behaviour with the Update module being disabled to see if the issue is still happening.

sdetweil

@Cr4z33 yeh. i don’t know how watchdog works… at some level if the MM process hangs, watchdog can’t work either… (my opinion without looking at the code)

Cr4z33

@sdetweil alright.

In the meantime disabling the Update module sorted out the issue… weird…

Oh well that means I will run the updater manually from time to time. :D

Noob need some advice: Wunderground was running properly untill my API key expired. Now I try to install DarkSKy. I have updated MM to 2.6.0 and installed MMM-DarkSkyForecast and got a newe folder home/pi/MagicMirror/MMM-DarkSkyForecast.

How can I implement the module that its’s running? What do I have to change:

config.js:
{
module: “MMM-DarkSkyForecast”,
header: “Weather”,
position: “top_right”,
classes: “default everyone”,
disabled: false,
config: {
apikey: “xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx”,
latitude: “51.4185682”,
longitude: “6.8845226”,
iconset: “4c”,
concise: false,
forecastLayout: “table”
}
},

So, I have added the nice module. I have to adjust the size - who can give some tips/ advice to bring the module in shape?

I would like to have it in this shape:

@chris1971

I think this should do it for you. In your config entry

forecastLayout: "tiled"

chris1971

Yes, have “tiled” in the config - but the size is not like in the pic…the module is shown over the entire right screen size… pls. refer to the upper picture…
