@extec said in Weatherstation using MagicMirror+Rasp3b+7inch touchscreen:
Hello Mr. cgillinger,
first of all thank you very much for posting.
I just got myself into RPis and would’ve loved to have a Weatherstation just like yours.
My Display is 5", 800x480. More than enough for the beginning.
Now Maybe you are able to help me out. I have a fresh install of RPi OS with NodeJS 20.11 and Magic Mirror installed.
I was able to modify some modules and change the color of the restart buttons.
However I was not able to integrate the Weather Icons or change the color of them. Also how did you manage to resize the “Forecast” module?
Any help would be appreciated.
Many greetings,
extec

I just entered the colors in the “custom.css” file, located in the MagicMirror/css folder. And if I remember correctly it was a bit sensitive to location. Let me just paste my entire custom.css, and see if that works on your PI:

Getting the size of the weather icons right was a lot of fiddling to find out the name of the class.
Now, I use the standard Weather module, but for my location I use swedish SMHI as provider:
{
module: "weather",
position: "bottom_left",
//initialLoadDelay: "500",
config: {
weatherProvider: "smhi",
type: "current",
location:"Stockholm",
lat: "XXXXXXXX",
lon: "XXXXXXX",
windUnits: "metric",
degreeLabel: "true",
howPrecipitationAmount: "true",
showPrecipitationProbability: "true",
colored: "True",
}
},
And for forecast I use Norweigan, Yr:
{
module: "weather",
position: "top_right",
header: "Väderprognos",
config: {
weatherProvider: "yr",
initialLoadDelay: "500",
type: "hourly",
location:"Stockholm",
lat: "XXXXXXXX",
lon: "XXXXXXXX",
maxEntries: "9",
fade: "false",
fadePoint: "1",
colored: "true",
degreeLabel: "true",
//showPrecipitationAmount: "true",
//showPrecipitationProbability: "true",
//maxNumberOfDays: "10",
}
},
Hope this helps, otherwise I’ll have to dig deeper.
