For those seeking North American globe views, I have great news - GEOS-16 (aka GEOS-East) is now publishing live color (yes, COLOR) images!

See web site here:
https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/GOES16_FullDisk.php

There are a few links for the latest image, depending on the resolution you want. (Watch out -many of the web site’s URLs are date and time specific) I’m using: https://cdn.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES16/ABI/FD/GEOCOLOR/678x678.jpg

Until a proper GIT update is done on this module, you can edit your setup to get this new image. In the folder:
/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Globe
Edit the file: MMM-Globe.js

Find the lines with ‘centralAmericaDiscNat’: , and put the new URL in there. In my case, I used:

		'centralAmericaDiscNat': 'https://cdn.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES16/ABI/FD/GEOCOLOR/678x678.jpg'

Do note that the code has 2 sections for different resolutions- you may need to update both.

Enjoy!

@jinjirosan - The temperature bars auto scale based upon the width of the rest of the module. I suspect some other changes you’ve made have caused the module to get wider, so you’re looking at a side effect and not a cause.

It might also be a screen resolution – the crypto currency module underneath in your screenshot is wide as well. I’m using a crummy small monitor, and have very narrow margins.

I love that someone else is picking this up and running with this module. Looks good!

@ironman_DK Not sure what my problem was, but rebooting once or twice seem to solve it. I’m wondering if there was some installed module that didn’t get initialized or something.

When in doubt reboot.

@ironman_DK Ever find a solution? I’m doing a fresh install, and only seeing “Loading commute…”

Just updated to latest MM, and got the following error:

npm WARN grunt-yamllint@0.2.0 requires a peer of grunt@~0.4.0 but none was installed.

Related error shown earlier in the install process:

Should I be worried?

@dbaler

Yes! Build notes would be nice- as I understand, they need a special adapter or wiring.

If you have something cool going, a video might be cool too!

@Mykle1 Yep, I’m an idiot. Wrong time zone.
Fixed it, and back to normal.

For the record, the weather apps act strange when you’re running an hour behind reality.

Looks like my Pi 3b didn’t adjust for daylight saving time.

Is there a setting I’m missing?

Is there a Weather module or source that shows forecasted Precipitation total accumulation by day?

Dark Sky has hourly precip intensity- but that’s a different thing.

I want to know if flurries are coming, or 3" of snow.

I love the simplicity of MMM-Forecast.io, and yet wanted more from the graph. The default graph seems to be aimed at minutely weather for the near future.

Earlier in this thread there was a graph example from dmcinnes’s mirror:
https://github.com/jangellx/MagicMirror#important-installation-note
Sadly, the code from that mirror’s graph is a totally different approach than the main branch of forecast.io. Stealing code was not an option, so I had to write a bunch from scratch.

For my own use, I’ve rewritten a lot of the graph- and added in a few goodies, like:
-Graph now shows 36 hours of forecast
-Day/night shading in graph
-Temperature line in graph with labels
-Precip intensity graph is now blue.
-Graph has freezing blue line, and hot 80 degree line.
-Wind speed is an option to turn on/off
-Sunrise/Sunset is an option to turn on/off
-Included notes for easy color icons, via “Color-icons.md”

Feel free to play with my branch:
https://github.com/FlatPepsi17/MMM-forecast-io/tree/FlatPepsi17-GraphUpgrade

Known limitation: non-Fahrenheit units will probably look funny, as the graph scaling & hot/cold lines are not unit aware.
