MMM-DarkSkyForecast - Yet ANOTHER weather module

dan-o

@j-e-f-f Pulled just now. Will let you know if I run into the issue again!

Appreciate ya!

Johans

@j-e-f-f installed latest version of your nicely build weather forecast module, but now I see that my personal web player is not working anymore.

All content is displayed on the mirror, but there is no reaction when I press a play button (seems play buttons are disabled)

To show the player on my mirror I’ve abused the widget module.

It shows me 6 radio stations and a selection button for MP3’s on the SD card of the raspberry. (All simple stuff – so far no rocket science)

I’m sure problem is related towards the installation of your weather module, as I did a rebuild on another SD card to try -out.

Removing and re-installing your module or the widget module was no solution so far.

Started mirror in dev mode, but here also I don’t see any problem.

As I read here that you updated this module to use the Nunjucks html templating system, I suspect it has a relation with my html code I’m using in the widget module.

See below code in the config. Perhaps somebody can port this code according the Nunjucks html. (sound lick chinees for me  )

Maybe there are other ways to embed my player on the mirror, but for now MMM-Widget was the only thing I found to do.

Hope somebody can help me out.

Thx.

@johans If you disable the MMM-DarkSkyForecast module do you get your web player functionality back?

@j-e-f-f
No, It doesn’t come back.
I made a new installation on fresh SD card.
All works fine without installing your module, after that it’s not working anymore.

Johans

When I run directly in the browser, it’s OK, but thats not the main goal, should run via the MagicMirror.

hco125

I posted an issue on your module link in GitHub, but no response yet. Please see this link for details. Both the config in the link as well as the one below do the same thing…loading infinitely.

		{
			module: 'MMM-DarkSkyForecast',
			header: "Weather",
			position: 'top_center',
			disabled: false,
			config: {
				updateInterval: 10,
				units: 'us',
				forecastHeaderText: "O'Neill, NE",
				iconset: '5c',
				apiKey: 'blocked for privacy',
				latitude: '42.457649',
				longitude: '-98.647789',
				forecastLayout: 'tiled',```
			},
		},

lavolp3

@hco125
Time to go do some debugging. Ican imagine noone will be able to help you with the information given.

Please do the following:
Start the mirror in dev mode

npm start dev

OR

Open the mirror webpage on another browser (MIRRORIP:8080), press F12 for dev mode

In both cases, try to find error messages referring to this module and post them here.

hco125

I stripped down my MagicMirror configuration as well, so that we know that another module is not interfering. The modules that ARE on this config include: alert, updatenotification, MMM-ModuleScheduler, clock, MMM-AlarmClock, MMM-DarkSkyForecast, and MMM-Screencast. Here are the errors in the console running MagicMirror and accessing on Chrome with those modules running.

However, I then stripped ALL modules EXCEPT MMM-DarkSkyForecast and rechecked the console. I get NO errors, and the log is as follows, but the modules still loads infinitely, with no display of weather (see screenshot, below):

So after adding in one module at a time to determine which one was throwing the errors I posted above, it is the default MagicMirror “clock” module, and I do not believe it is the cause of the MMM-DarkSkyForecast problems.

j.e.f.f

@johans @hco125 i believe your issues are related. If the module runs in the web browser, but not on the mirror, then we’re seeing an issue with the difference in JavaScript syntax supported by Chrome versus Electron. I’ll need to debug your configs in Electron running on the Pi, as the errors will only be seen in the browser console.

Sorry I’ve been slow to respond. I just got back from visiting family for the holidays so I haven’t been checking this forum at all nor the issue list in my git repo. Will take a look and let you know if I find any problems.

Looks very nice. Is there a way to get the “feels like” temperature, too? I can’t find anything about it.

hco125

@j-e-f-f & @lavolp3

I figured out the issue…idiot error (me). I typed the config option as “apiKey” instead of “apikey” and it wouldn’t read it as registered. So sorry for taking your time. Works now.

Can you try something? Completely remove MMM-DarkSkyForecast (i.e.delete the directory with rmdir -rf MMM-DarkSkyForecast), and comment out the entry in the config. Restart MM. Does your player come back now? If so, try this:

Reinstall my module using git clone ... but DON’T run npm install in the MMM-DarkSkyForecast directory. All of the dependencies are currently included with Magic Mirror, so it should work as-is.

Put the DarkSky entry back in your config and restart MM. If everything works then the issue is that my module is installing a different version of one of the dependencies than what is included in MM, and likely is causing the incompatibility with the MMM-Widget module.

@j-e-f-f Thank you for this nice weather module :)
I do have a strange occurrence happening however… no matter if i use ca, us, si for units in front of every high temperature number i get a square… the temperature is displayed along with that square … what is that??

Oh another thing …how can i make the background of your module non transparent/black or semi transparent?? I am trying to use the @Sean MMM-WeatherBackground and the majority of pictures are too bright to read this module.

Any ideas at what those squares are in front of my temperature numbers everybody ?? ;)

@richland007 said in MMM-DarkSkyForecast - Yet ANOTHER weather module:

Try this in your custom.css file:

.MMM-DarkSkyForecast .module-content {
  background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
}

The first three parameters 0,0,0 are the color (in this case black), and the last parameter 0.5 is the level of transparency. Adjust accordingly to suit your needs.

No idea why this is happening, but it generally means that the browser is trying to render a character that is outside of the character set.

Can you PM me with your config? I wonder if the data is providing those characters.

richland007

@j-e-f-f Thank you for your reply.
Do you want my entire MM config.js file or just the MMM-DarkSkyForecast part of it??
