Installation

1)Navigate into your MagicMirror modules folder and execute
git clone https://github.com/jclarke0000/MMM-DarkSkyForecast.git.
2)Enter the new MMM-DarkSkyForecast directory and execute npm install.                                                       3) reboot

Did you follow these instructions?

@TyFusion I think you have to exchange the decimal point for a dot at latitude.
Try “latitude: “39.462900”,”

@ttarzan
You might be right, I overlook that tonight.

Just wanted to let folks know that DarkSky is no longer accepting new users to the API now that they have been acquired by Apple.

Yeah… not sure what I’m going to do about this yet… Need to rewrite my weather module AGAIN due to API going belly-up. Any suggestions on a good, free API?

@j-e-f-f maybe try yr.no ? it’s free :)

@Hadr1en @numb3rs Thanks! Will look into both of these.

@j-e-f-f it is possible to use animated icons (4c) for the main icon?

@j-e-f-f Great module, definitely my favorite weather module so far!

2 things would make it perfect in my opinion: Feels like temperature and sunrise/sunset data.

Do you have any plans to add those in the future?

Thank You!

@j-e-f-f The best replacement for DarkSky that I’ve found is https://www.climacell.co/weather-api/ since its hyper-local. Free tier gets you 30,000 calls/month.

Maybe I shouldn’t say it, but… you can find many working DarkSky API codes around (that can be used simultaneously by more than one user).

Just do a proper search in Google Images and here you go. 😂

This one sounds really interesting! Thanks! Seems to have minutely data for Europe as well which is rare.

OpenWeatherMaps now introduced a new OneCall-API which is similar to the old DarkSky. There is even a table for migrating from DarkSky to OpenWeather. Maybe someone who has coding skills could see rebuild this lovely module? In the end Dark Sky API will be discontinued completely so everyone will need to look out for something else :)

@lavolp3 @Mykle1 has converted one of his weather modules to climacell.

I have converted weather on another platform too.

@mm_mtl

You can’t use a Climacell API key with MMM-DarkSkyForecast.

@Mykle1

any other key I can use ?

@mm_mtl

Each module has directions on how to acquire the proper API, or it should. Darksky requires a Darksky API key but they no longer issue free keys. You would have to purchase one in that case. Free Climacell API keys work with modules utilizing Climacell data, and so forth, and so on. You already have a Climacell key. That will work with modules using Climacell data

Please refer to the readme file of each module you wish to use
