MMM-DarkSkyForecast - Yet ANOTHER weather module

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.

@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.

@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.

I’m planning to add it. This is something I’d like as well.

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.

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.

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.
