Yes, have “tiled” in the config

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.

chris1971

thanks- I tried to reduce the size of the long forecast text - do you know how to adjust? I think I have to do this in the DarkSky.css…

chris1971

The adjustment of the width was the key factor… thx…

But I do not found out how to adjust the font size or position of the long forecast text… Do I have to do this in the custom.css?

This is my try in the custom.css - but seem not to work as expected…

After several trials I think it’s o.k.
Thanks for the support.

Good Morning all

First of all, thank you for the Herrvorrande weather module !!

Is it also possible to display different weather forecasts (two different locations)? For example, the locations alternate every 30 seconds.

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

No idea :) But at least we’ll have a starting point as to where to look. Basically something is causing all of the modules to hide, and it has something to do with an interaction with mine. The only thing my module does to affect anything outside itself is to broadcast weather data whenever it updates to any other modules who want to use it. See if the module is reacting to the DARK_SKY_FORECAST_WEATHER_UPDATE notification.

Not in a rotation, as I believe that is what you are asking for. However you can configure multiple instances of the module, so you could have two forecasts that way. Keep in mind that this doubles the number of requests to the Dark Sky API, so you’ll want to be mindful that you don’t exceed the daily maximum of 1000 requests. You can tune how frequently the module polls for data with the updateInterval configuration parameter.
