I have it working but it takes up my entire screen even thought its set to top_right.

@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.

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/

I was using your MyWeather module and was really bummed that weather underground was shutting down their free API. I just found your new module last night and I am ecstatic to be able to switch over to this one. Everything seems to be working well except that I have a couple of Moon icons for the forecast table. 3 of the 7 days are showing moon/clouds instead of sun/clouds. Is that something I can fix or is it on Dark Sky’s end?

[j.e.f.f]

@colel83 Do you have a screenshot?

[colel83]

Sure. It’s only showing 2 incorrect icons tonight.

@j-e-f-f Awesome module! Great replacement for MMM-Wunderground.

Is there a way to turn off the total precipitation and max wind speed for the forecasts in the table, without turning it off for the current conditions?

[j.e.f.f]

@shbatm You can do this in your custom.css file. First make sure both showPrecipitation and showWind are set to true in your config, and showForecastTableColumnHeaderIcons is to false.

Next, add the following to your custom.css file:

.MMM-DarkSkyForecast .wrapper.tiled .forecast-container .forecast-item .precipitation-container,
.MMM-DarkSkyForecast .wrapper.tiled .forecast-container .forecast-item .wind-container,
.MMM-DarkSkyForecast .wrapper.table .forecast-container .forecast-item .precipitation-container,
.MMM-DarkSkyForecast .wrapper.table .forecast-container .forecast-item .wind-container {
    display: none;
}

@j-e-f-f Thanks. I got it with the following. I was just wondering if you had a config option for it that I missed.

.MMM-DarkSkyForecast .forecast-container .wind-gusts, 
.MMM-DarkSkyForecast .forecast-container .accumulation {
    display: none !important;
}

Great module - I really liked the fact that you had everything classed out, so it was super easy to manipulate the UI without having to screw with your JS.

Looks very nice on my mirror:

[Arjan]

first of all, great that you made a new weather module like MMM-WunderGround. I really liked that one.

I have a problem with hourlyForecastInterval. If I don’t put it in de config and leave it to the default and put maxHourliesToShow : “6”, in the config, than I receive 6 forecasts with 3 hours apart.
When I put hourlyForecastInterval to 1 or 2 I only get 2 forecasts that are 10 hours apart.
Is this a problem or am I doing something wrong?

[j.e.f.f]

@arjan let me look into this. Doesn’t sound right…

[kwabenalexx]

Please help.Not sure what I’m doing wrong here but cant seem to have the module show up on the screen.

[j.e.f.f]

@kwabenalexx Your exact config works for me as-is. But I noticed it looks like you also have another weather module running. I wonder if something is clashing… can you try to disable the other one and try DarkSky again?

Also, did you run npm install in the MMM-DarkSkyForecast directory?

MM

Thanks for the help. I deleted the other weather module and it worked. Now i see my units are in Km/h instead of miles/hr and the temperature readings are different from my local weather alerts my area

[michael5r]

@kwabenalexx Add:

units: 'us'

to the DarkSkyForecast config to switch to imperial units. It’s the default for darksky, but not the default for this module.

[kwabenalexx]

@michael5r i added that to the config file and i get ‘‘Please create a config File’’ page

[kwabenalexx]

it’s fixed. thanks for all your help. i had to add a comma (,)

Yeah I did that intentionally because I’m Canadian and Imperial units make no sense to me ;)

Hi folks

Just wanted to let you know that with the latest update of this module, I’ve modified it to use the Nunjucks HTML templating system. This means as of version 1.6 of MMM-DarkSkyForecast, you’ll need to run it on MagicMirror 2.2.0 or later. It won’t run at all on older versions.

If you’re running an older version of MagicMirror and you still want to use my module, then please download the source for version 1.5 from here:

https://github.com/jclarke0000/MMM-DarkSkyForecast/releases/tag/v1.5

Note that I will not update v1.5 with any new features or bug fixes. All future development work will be done against v1.6 and above. If you want the latest and greatest, then you’ll need to update MagicMirror.
