UPDATED MODULE - “Git” module here

@desq OK, added an option for the degree symbol (I have a small screen and not a mirror, so I don’t like it on mine). I also am now using the “weathericons” from the standard module. :)

• Option (degreeSym) to display/not display degree symbol
• Icon set has been changed to “weathericons”
• Removed the hard-coded resize on icons (forgot to remove during testing)
• Fixed default cell padding for readability (you can customize through custom.css)

Note: module is standard grey colors, custom colorization such as the screenshot can be done through custom.css

That would be a cool idea… I was pondering doing something similar for a sports score stream (think what you see at the bottom of the screen on ESPN or something). I hadn’t found any good free sports json API that are still active so I hadn’t put any effort towards iet yet. It was a really quick google search so I might have missed something.

@RedNax Oh cool, didn’t even realize you could embed multiple API calls at the same time!!! :)

I was thinking about doing a dual-mod, but honestly there’s no advantage over having two separate mods. The json streams for the current weather and the forecast are separate on Weather Underground, so there’s no advantage on reducing the number of network/API calls. Secondly, it reduces flexibility as far as screen positioning of the mods goes (you’d have to keep them together in the same part of the screen).

I’m pretty close to finishing my mod for getting current conditions from WU as well. I’m using JSON right now, but I’m trying to see if there’s a way to tap into the ‘realtime’ stream that they use for their flash gadgets that you can put on websites. Not sure if it is possible yet though.

BTW, some modifications I’m planning on:

• Remove the hardcoded icon sizes (I forgot I had that in there).
• Add option to show POP for all %'s (including 0)
• Add option to select specific icon sets Underground Icon Sets
• Add option to display predicted rain/snow amounts for the day

There’s other data available from the API (written forecasts, wind speed predictions, humidity predictions, etc), so if there’s interest in finding ways to display that, let me know.

Posted!!! Let me know what you think.

This is my first attempt at a full-fledged module for Magic Mirror, so please let me know your feedback or ideas for additional functionality. Also, if I did the GitHub wrong, let me know!

This is modified from the weatherforecast module. It uses Weather Underground as the data source and also has the additional feature of providing the chance of precipitation if it is above 0%.

The color is not default, but can be modified through your custom.css, for example the above screenshot is set with:

.wuforecast .max-temp {
  font-size: 27px;
  line-height: 27px;
  color: #f66;
}

.wuforecast .min-temp {
  font-size: 27px;
  line-height: 27px;
  color: #0ff;
}

.wuforecast .weather-icon {
  font-size: 27px;
  line-height: 27px;
  color: #f93;
}

.wuforecast .day {
  font-size: 27px;
  line-height: 27px;
  color: #6f6;
}

I just finished getting it all coded up. The colors are simply css modifications (I can post how I did that in the README). About to grab some dinner then I’ll finish documentation and figure out how to set it up on GitHub.

I think he’s talking the scrolling text like you see on TV (at least it is common here in the states). Can’t find a great solo gif of it, but here’s a gif of 17 different ones at the same time, lol… Hopefully enough to get the idea across. It might be a bit taxing on the pi architecture, not sure.

I’ve modified the existing weatherforecast module to utilize weather underground… I’m utilizing the weather underground default icons for now. Not sure if it is something of interest for me to modularize or not?
