You would probably be best with just a PIR motion sensor. I’m not sure why you would need IOT motion detector. Seems like overkill and a waste of money.

I just gutted a laptop and pulled a 15.6 monitor out. I ordered an HDMI LCD Controller for $26ish from Amazon and it work wonderfully. It’s light, bright and the controller came with buttons to control the screen.

There are some that are cheaper. I just didn’t want to chance that it wouldn’t work with my laptop lcd model. I searched and bought based on the part model.

So. My apologies. I thought I read through the module information on how to develop. I guess I did not. I’m going to try to take another stab at this over the next few days after work!

I know that Wunderground said they were not going to stop API’s. However, new users with new weather stations will not be able to obtain free API from Wunderground.

This had me wanting to build a module for Ambient Weather stations. I had started one, but I don’t have the experience coding to be able to bridge the socket.io needs to connect the station to the MM functionality.

Resources I think that would help with the bridge are:

Start of my code… (I was able to get a clean sequence using the linter, but it still isn’t configured right because of the connection issue.)

module.register(“mmm-ambient-weather”, {
defaults: {
module: “mmm-ambient-weather”,
position: ‘top_right’,
location: “Columbus, OH”,
apikey: ‘API KEY From AmbientWeather.net’,
appid: ‘APP KEY From AmbientWeather.net’,
