Wheather/ Wunderground not loading

Medo

@kasperb: I will give this module a try:

https://github.com/cowboysdude/MMM-NOAA3

It has several options for placing API (weatherdata). So if one closes - i can switch to the next if needed…

I installed it today so i cannot say if the data (from weatherbit.io in my case) is reliable…

@Medo et al,

You can also use the darksky api with NOAA3. I find this to be very accurate for my location

I have found that DarkSkyForecast has been an excellent replacement for the Wunderground module. Format and display looks very similar. I have been using it for a few weeks and I am very happy with it. API keys for DarkSky are free for up to 1000 calls a day. So if you refresh the weather every 15 mins, thats only 96 calls a day.

@Medo - Yeah, my free API key was shut down last week.

I migrated my MMM-WunderGround24Hours module also to use the Dark Sky API and it is now available at https://github.com/thobach/MMM-DarkSky24Hours. The migration was super easy.

May be missing the mark here, but what I’m seeing is if you had a key w/weatherunderground, it’s definitely gone. However, generating keys seems to still be an option. Perhaps I’m grandfathered in.

Mine isn’t loading either. With newly (longer) generated api key from WU api-key form, there’s documentation showing weather.com returning content. New URL and json below. I’ll try to see about adjusting code to handle new response. I’m new to this module and may not have time for a few days. Hope this helps and if someone could verify that’d be especially helpful.

Yes with the new API key you get current weather data and also forecast. However, most variables have changed their name and you have to adjust the code of “MMM-WunderGround.js” and “node_helper.js”.

Examples:

apiBase old: “http://api.wunderground.com/api/”
apiBase new: “https://api.weather.com/”

forecast old: “http://api.wunderground.com/api/yourApiKey/conditions/hourly/forecast10day/astronomy/alerts/lang:DL/q/pws:ISAFENWI13.json”
forecast new: "https://api.weather.com/v3/wx/forecast/daily/5day?postalKey=81657:US&units=e&language=en-US&format=json&apiKey=yourApiKey
"
Variables:

old: wind_mph
new: windspeed

old: relative_humidity
new: relativeHumidity

The effort to rewrite the existing code is very large, unfortunately I’m not a programmer :(
