NOAA v3 using too many requests?

motdog

@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.

I have not changed the update interval Is that in the css?

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.

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!
          }
      },

@Mykle1 from the NOAA3.js

Module.register("MMM-NOAA3", {
    defaults: {
        animationSpeed: 0,
        initialLoadDelay: 8000,
        rotateInterval: 60 * 1000, 
	updateInterval: 30 * 60 * 1000,
        apiKey: "",
        airKey: "",
        pws: "",
        css: "",
        frow: true,
		nupdate: false,
		userlat: "",
