NOAA v3 using too many requests?

motdog

@Mykle1 I have not changed the update interval Is that in the css? I only have the one module running. What seems weird is that it runs fine then all of the sudden spikes.

@dazza120 I am running a Pi 3B the Pi doesn’t lock up. Occasionally if I try to do something a bit funky with a gif in the eye candy module it has but as soon as I use a different gif I am ok.

@motdog not overclocked? My Pi would still work just ment that it was working overtime doing the weather connection every second.

It is in the MMM-NOAA3.js file. Please verify the value. It can also be placed in the config entry which would override the module.js value.

Have you gotten a new API key?
Have your deleted you NOAA install and re-installed?
Have you tried NOAA by itself? No other modules running, or at most just the defaults of MM?

@dazza120 no clue.

@Mykle1 I haven’t modified the js file. I did get a new key. One thing I changed at darksky was to limit the number of requests. The default had me at 1000. I lowered it to 750 so I shouldn’t hit the maximum. I’ll give it a few days to monitor. The number of requests stays low most of the time but occasionally spikes up

Well, something is causing the module to fetch the data. I do not believe it’s the module itself based on your answers

@Mykle1 what should I look for? I had 475 requests today.

@motdog

Are you absolutely sure that this is your setting in the config entry?

updateInterval: 30 * 60 * 1000,

@motdog

Post your NOAA config entry in a code block please. It should look like this.

{
          disabled: false,
          module: 'MMM-NOAA3',
          position: 'top_right',
          config: {
              provider: "darksky",
              apiKey: "YOUR API KEY",
              airKey: "YOUR AIR KEY", // IF you want Air Quality Index
              css: "NOAA4",
              userlat: "40.123456",
              userlon: "-74.123456",
              updateInterval: 30 * 60 * 1000,  // VERY IMPORTANT!
          }
      },
