@bhepler Well…the WebView works, but MMM-RAIN-MAP works better. Thanks for the recommendation!

Dark Sky radar alternative
I found an alternative to the Dark Sky radar. I decided to install the MMM-WebView module and place a National Weather Service radar feed inside (https://radar.weather.gov/region/pacsouthwest/standard). Since I have my Magic Mirror set to refresh every 5 minutes it’s possible to update the radar image often. So far, things are working well. The MMM-Webview module is well-documented and I was able to get it up and running in just few minutes. I’m NOT a power user of the Magic Mirror so the module documentation was handy. Congrats to the developer!

RE: MMM-AQI stopped working
@sdetweil I must have made a mistake when using your script command to upgrade:
bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/upgrade-script.sh)”
After I backed-up altered files and modules, I used the command:
git pull && npm install
and the MMM-AQI module works again. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

RE: MMM-AQI stopped working
@sdetweil said in MMM-AQI stopped working:
pm2 log --lines=100
OK…now I get it. I used:
pm2 log --lines=100
to view the log. Lots of red text having to do with the RTSP MM module. I’ll keep looking for errors having to do with expired certificates. -
RE: MMM-AQI stopped working
@sdetweil Thanks so much for the reply! Unfortunately, I only understood the first part. OK…“request” still works. How do I view mm messages? I used your script to update to the latest version earlier. How do I go about determining whether 2.17.1 was installed properly?

MMM-AQI stopped working
In recent days, the MMM-AQI module on my MM2 has stopped working. I’ve checked my token on the World AQI website and it delivers the correct data so that part’s OK. Can anyone suggest other things to check? The module depends on “request” that’s been deprecated. Could that be an issue? Thanks for any suggestions provided!

RE: MMM-RTSPStream success
This is an update to my post detailing my experience with the WWW-RTSPStream module. My implementation of the module in my MM2 was working OK, but I still had some interruptions when the video stream I was displaying would go black. Things got worse when I introduced a new WiFi router to improve coverage in my home. I had been depending on my OEM Uverse modem/router. I disabled the modem’s WiFi and added a Netgear RAX70 router to handle the WiFi duties in my home. For reasons beyond my understanding, this caused my MMM-RTSPStream module to be less stable. So, I decided to try a new IP camera. I chose a Wansview 1080 outdoor wireless IP camera that emphasized its use of the RTSP protocol. It’s this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08C4YXV51/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
At only $40 I wasn’t really expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. Their installation process was about as simple as it gets and the RTSP URLs they supply in their app were easy to copy/paste into the MMM-RTSPStream config.sys section of the MM2. I’ve had it up and running for 2 days now and haven’t had any down time. For the first time, I can actually depend on the MMM-RTSPStream module to show me a video stream that’s current. For what it’s worth, I’ve pasted my config.sys section for the MMM-RTSPStream below.
{ module: "MMM-RTSPStream", position: "bottom_right", config: { autoStart: true, rotateStreams: false, rotateStreamTimeout: 10, moduleWidth: 308, moduleHeight: 231, localPlayer: 'omxplayer', remotePlayer: 'vlc', showSnapWhenPaused: false, remoteSnaps: false, shutdownDelay: 12, omxRestart: 1, debug: true, stream1: { name: 'Garage', url: 'USE RTSP URL FROM WANSVIEW APP', frameRate: '30', hdUrl: 'USE RTSP URL FROM WANSVIEW APP', protocol: 'tcp', timeout: 20, snapshotType: 'url', snapshotRefresh: 10, width: 400, height: 350, absPosition:{ top: 700, right: 1910, bottom: 1050, left: 1310, }, }, } },

RE: WWW-iframe-ping fit web content into MM2 region
@sdetweil Yes…when I open the URL I’m trying to display, it resizes nicely so all the information (in this case, data from a local weather station) is displayed to fit whatever screen size I choose. In other words, it’s responsive. I wonder if there are parameters I can add to the URL that will affect it’s display size??? I suppose I’ll need to experiment with that a bit.

WWW-iframe-ping fit web content into MM2 region
I’m able to display web content using WWW-iframe-ping, but the content is too large so I’m only getting a sub-section of the webpage. How do I go about reducing the size of the web content to fit inside the frame I’ve created in the top_right region of my MM2? Thanks!
