@gkchimz said in Hello Lucy - key word:
Is this changeable and can we change this to anything or are we limited on options?
You can change it. Make sure it is all CAPITAL letters. I would keep it simple so as to have a better success rate. I just changed mine to keyword: 'HELLO POP', and it worked very well
@pieguy said in my no mirror mirror:
wish i could make even one …
Wishing won’t get it done. However, reading and asking questions goes a long way. I was you (so to speak) 4 years ago. I found this site and all I wanted to do was make a module. I had no prior coding experience at all and learning this stuff at my age was a challenge. Proof that it can be done.
If you are enthusiastic enough and willing to work at it, you will be able to code some modules. I asked for help in the beginning. I still ask for help. I write the simplest of modules. When I get in past my safety zone I reach out to a few friends here on the forum. Thankfully, they have been kind and generous with their help.
So, if you have questions, ask! If I can help you, I will. That’s how I pay back the kindness shown to me.
Peace

Thank you so much
You’re welcome.
Greetings from NYC, USA
Assuming you mean a weather module other than the default, you can find most of the modules here. Scroll down to the weather section.

@rick93 said in Develop module with API:
I am new to MM as well as JS, so I do like to learn the way you code for the API, so I can get the idea to code my own.
Anyway, I will find another example to continue my coding.
First, you should aspire to learn how others code. I have a basic understanding of coding but I manage to make things work, usually. Only with the help and guidance of others have I managed to create some modules. Anyway . . .
The url you have for the weather data is working. Great! I took the data and ran it through the json viewer. I assume you did the same as per the instructions in the UFO module readme. By substituting the url and changing some naming in the node helper and js file you should be able to get the data. Setting up the divs should not be too hard either.
See what you can manage on your own and I will try to help you when you get stuck.
Paying it forward.
Peace!
Alternately, there are other weather modules that include air pressure. My personal favorite: MMM-NOAA3
How do you like it?
Very much! :thumbsup:
Improvements or suggestions?
I suggest that if you like it . . . then don’t change a thing.
Well done, mate! :-)
@sdetweil said in MM only server version working due to issues with config file:
weird
You can’t make this stuff up. :-)
@rick93 said in Develop module with API:
It’s fine if you can share the API’s data/code, doesn’t really need to repair the link or find another.
I’m not really sure what you are asking me for. The API is dead so there is nothing that I can give you. The link is good but the API is dead so there is no repairing it. :-/
Done. Take a look at the bottom of the readme
@rick93 said in Develop module with API:
Could you please have a look at it?
Well, I just took a look at the api and it is down, as you already discovered. There is nothing I can do about that. However, I will take a look around and see if I can find another. Unknown if I will be able to find one but give me some time. No promises. I will do my best.
Yes, if you’re talking about Darksky. We were discussing Climacel as well, which does issue free API keys. But you already knew that, being the head investigator of the MM forum.
Each module has directions on how to acquire the proper API, or it should. Darksky requires a Darksky API key but they no longer issue free keys. You would have to purchase one in that case. Free Climacell API keys work with modules utilizing Climacell data, and so forth, and so on. You already have a Climacell key. That will work with modules using Climacell data
Please refer to the readme file of each module you wish to use
You can’t use a Climacell API key with MMM-DarkSkyForecast.
It’s an iframe module which means, in this case, you only have access to certain elements. Manipulating the return can only be done to those elements. What you’re asking for is not one of the elements available and is done automatically by the site where the data is coming from.
Then again, I’m really just a hobbyist programmer. There may be a way that is beyond my simple knowledge. Feel free to fork the module and experiment to your liking.
Peace bro.
@ebolisa said in How to add modules. For absolute beginners.:
What if no errors are generated and yet the widget is not shown on the screen? Where do we start troubleshooting?
It would help if you named the widget (I assume you mean module) and posted your config entry for that module. Please post in a code block.
EDIT:
And everything @sdetweil says. :-)

For this you get some upvotes! ;-)
