MMM-DarkSkyForecast - Yet ANOTHER weather module

krouton

I posted this on the GitHub page;

When I use the default Long and Lat, the module loads. London works as does Vancouver and New York however when trying Hawaii, Sydney, Paris, Cape Town, Moscow, Melbourne, and Wellington, the module will not load. Using https://www.latlong.net/ for Long and Lat.

When I use the same Long and Lat in this module that works with the Forecast.io module, the module won’t load. At first, I thought it was southern hemisphere’s (given the Lat is a ‘negative’ number) but that doesn’t appear to be the cause.

@j-e-f-f has updated the module on GitHub. Go to the module folder and update it via git pull.

If the error still persists, leave out line

concise: false,

from the config file. That solved it for me in the prior version.

I had the same loading issue after just installing it…but leaving out the concise line worked for me too

Beautiful module!
A bit too beautiful in my opinion since I’m currently putting a lot of work into MMM-forecast-io :-D

MMM-WeatherBackground supports MMM-DarkSkyForecast now. (Just set source as "MMM-DarkSkyForecast")
Thanks @j-e-f-f again.

Awesome!!! Just want I want after WeatherUndergrown stops its free api.

I have it working but it takes up my entire screen even thought its set to top_right. And I cant get it to take any config changes, like table vs tiled.

{
  module: "MMM-DarkSkyForecast",
  header: "Weather",
  position: "top_right",
  classes: "default everyone",
  disabled: false,
  config: {
    apikey: "xxxx",
    latitude: "xxxx",
    longitude: "-xxxx",      
    iconset: "4c",
    concise: false,
    forecastLayout: "table"
  }
},

Any idea why this would happen?

Had already the newest version, but leaving out concise: false did the trick. Thanks!

Both of the above issues are now fixed. Do a git pull for the latest version and restart Magic Mirror.

By default the width is fixed to 300px. If you wish to override this, you can do so in your custom.css file as follows:

.MMM-DarkSkyForecast .module-content {
  width: 500px; /* adjust this to taste */
}

Does it handle midnight properly in 12 hour mode? So darned tired of the 0am stuff the other DarkSky one has. ;)

I’m using moment.js to format the time display, and midnight gets displayed properly by default. You can also override the default display style for time with the parameter label_timeFormat. Provide any valid formatting string you can find from the moment.js docs: https://momentjs.com/docs/#/displaying/
