MMM-DarkSkyForecast - Yet ANOTHER weather module

@drippyer said in MMM-DarkSkyForecast - Yet ANOTHER weather module:

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.

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. 😂

@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.

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 :)

@michael5r What is the command line that allows me to reduce the spaces in the “forescast” table?

@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 ?

Mykle1

@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

@Mykle1 They’re not even issuing paid ones. This module is dead to new users as a result.

Mykle1

@BKeyport

Yes, if you’re talking about Darksky. We were discussing Climacel as well, which does issue free API keys. But you already knew that, being the head investigator of the MM forum.

BKeyport

har har, Mykle. :)

You know if anyone has used Climacel data for a module? That looks really promising… (For now, knowing how weather companies get bought up)

@BKeyport u are joking, right?

@sdetweil I’ve been using MMM-WeatherorNot for so long I seriously didn’t know…

hello everyone, from today the module doesn’t work anymore.
The module remains in “Loading” and on the terminal I have this error:

[01.02.2021 12: 56.02.875] [LOG] [MMM-DarkSkyForecast] 1-Feb-21 12:56 ** ERROR ** null

Do you know if something has happened?

Many Thanks!

sdetweil

@egnos id say the api has finally been turned off as they said would happen

Hmm, I don’t know about that, Sammo. My BMW-DS weather is still working using an old Darksky api key. I’ve been waiting for it to fail, knowing the end is near.

sdetweil

@mykle1 hm. i suppose its possible i could be wrong! lol

Mykle1

@sdetweil

I was gonna post a 26k png file showing the Darksky api still working but the forum refused.

You’re never wrong, Sam. You’re just not always right. :-)

Egnos

@mykle1 @sdetweil
False alarm! It works again! I don’t know why…
From your posts it seems that the end of this API is near … when will it happen can you advise me with similar graphics?

Thank you very much
