MMM-DarkSkyForecast - Yet ANOTHER weather module

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)

@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",

chris1971

sorry - I copied the config of an older status…

@chris1971 Well the module gets wrapped because it doesn’t have enough space in the right bar.
You could

exclude details in the forecast section (there’s an option)
give the right bar more space by determining it’s width with css
let the module show only 2 forecast items of each (instead of the 3 you have currently) (also via config options)

And of course you could switch off the long forecast text. I THINK you can do that as well via config options.

Go through the options of the module, there’s a LOT to adjust.
