MMM-DarkSkyForecast - Yet ANOTHER weather module

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…

Oh, I’m sorry, because your config entry above says, forecastLayout: "table",
