I noticed some interesting behavior with while developing my MMM-Surf module. I observed this behavior after I added a “last updated” timestamp at the bottom of the UI. If the MagicMirror software is loaded from different clients (e.g. RPI with screen + web client), each will have a different last updated timestamp. So let’s say I load the RPI+Screen client + 3 web clients, each a minute apart. That will produce 4 unique API requests upon load and then 4 unique API requests when the update window is triggered on each client.

Is anyone aware of a way to cache data that is rendered to the UI and hold it for, say, the same timeframe as the update window? This could help reduce hitting API sources and keep things synched across the clients.

Thanks in advance!

Tried on Chrome and Firefox…anyone else having weird display issues? See picture:

Same here for the screen issues. I hate even offering this solution but…add a restart of the app to cron for every morning at 2am seems to mitigate the crashing issue. It’s not a fix, it’s a bandaid.

Using pm2 the crontab entry would look like:

0 2 * * * pm2 restart mm >/dev/null 2>&1

@joela85 Just found this as well - https://www.sixnationsrugby.com/en/matchcentre/downloadable_fixture_list.php

It includes a link to a calendar file with the games that could be integrated into the Calendar module. Won’t give results but gets you halfway there :)

If I have time prior to the tourny starting, I may try to put something together but please don’t wait on me if you want to start developing.

Updated original post with new screenshot & code updates.

Thank you! MMM-Wunderground was the layout inspiration as well as example code base so credit to RedNax67.

Description

MMM-Surf module displays weather, tides, water temp, and Magicseaweed forecast data for your favorite surf spot. It is currently North America centric, pulling tide and water temperature from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

20178-01-07:

• Added color coded icons to swell height, periodicity, swell/wind direction that are based on configurable settings based on spot characteristics
• Added “gear” guide (wetsuit mm based on water temp)
• Fixed 12 hour view to cross date boundary
• Developed algo to find “best” daily forecast time and display that in daily forecast row

2017-12-09:

• Updated layout
• Cleaned up code
• Added logic to match Spot Characteristics (e.g. best swell / wind). If a match, the swell/wind icons pop green
• Added swell/wind direction text next to arrow to make it easier to understand
