Hi,

Been having a bit of a dilemma… Made something (i think is) rather cool using a technique i haven’t seen in any module here… Spritesheet animation using css. Works great and only consists of a hand full of codelines…

However my module uses a nonpublic api to get a preformatted spritesheet (just stumbled upon it… ), so i can’t really share it i think. I could however share the code without (information) about the api used…

What do we think?

@ostfilinchen There appears to be an issue at weather underground. Just noticed that all but one warnings have expired already. Usually they wouldn’t be present in the api payload when expired. I’ll have to start checking for expiration in the code…

Update: new version now checks alert expiration

@ostfilinchen Could you have at the wunderground payload? It’s present in your logs/console…

@ostfilinchen And you’re certain the warning isn’t present in the wunderground payload?

Mine shows three because the payload has three warnings:

@c502 Thanks!

The initial xml doesn’t hold all the info:

This atom/xml feed is an index to active advisories, watches and warnings 
issued by the National Weather Service.  This index file is not the complete 
Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) alert message.  To obtain the complete CAP 
alert, please follow the links for each entry in this index.  Also note the 
CAP message uses a style sheet to convey the information in a human readable 
format.  Please view the source of the CAP message to see the complete data 
set.  Not all information in the CAP message is contained in this index of 
active alerts.

You’ll have to follow the links in the initial xml message to get the full info. You could probably use the newsfeed module as an initial startingpoint…

@ostfilinchen Cannot reproduce your error. We have cloudy conditions here now and everything works fine.
One thing i did notice when using the remote control module is that it places the icon tables in the config.js for some reason. Could you check your config? Maybe you can pm me your config section.maybe it’s some combination of settings…

@johnnyboy Did you try this (a bit further down in the thread)? https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=24679

@ostfilinchen Some obsolete coloricon code got in the way it seems. Are you not using the coloricons?

@ostfilinchen Anything in the logs? Works fine here…

IT could be your chosen weatherstation is feeding ‘estimated’ forecasts. The module skips those as they vary wildly (0 to 15 degrees C)… Should clear up on it’s own in that case.

Update: There was no logging on skipping estimated forecasts. Added it just now.

@RedNax New version has these strings as config items…
